It has since recovered strongly.
Passenger volumes have bounced back texceed pre-crisis levels in most countries.
Ongoing privatisations and other commercial imperatives mean there is an increasing appetite on the part of more airport owners and operators tmaximise the commercial returns on their assets
Catering operators have continued tinnovate their formats and their use of brands tmaximise the appeal of their offerings tpassengers.
In contrast tthe increasing maturity of much of the contract catering sector, airports now appears tbe a segment with attractive growth prospects.
