Departures Lounge To Be Renovated At Belfast International Airport

Construction News Image
Belfast International Airport's departure lounge is set to get a major facelift with a new collection of food and drink destinations.

The new Northern QTR will include a renovated Fed and Watered along with Coco Diablo Mexican Cantina and the popular all-Ireland brand Chopped. The main feature of the new area will be the 24m long, oval-shaped NQTR Bar. The existing departures lounge will be extended to create the extra space for the project.

Fit out specialists Marcon will work alongside Horscroft Design to create the new spaces over a 12-week programme.

Mark O'Connor, Marcon, said: "We are really pleased to be able to play such an integral role in this exciting extension at the airport. Over the years we have built up a wealth of experience working airside and landside at international and regional airports with each project having its own unique challenges. The new Northern QTR will prove to be an excellent addition to the airport and we cannot wait to see the new area being used by the many passengers flying out of Belfast International Airport."

The upgrades are being delivered on behalf of leading catering and facilities services company Mount Charles.

Commercial Manager at Belfast International Airport, Deirdre Graffin added: "With over six million passengers expected to use the airport this year we recognised the need to develop the food and beverage offering available for travellers. Mount Charles and Marcon have developed a fantastic concept and we cannot wait to welcome three exciting new brands to our food and beverage portfolio."
