Several new SSP outlets will be opening at Darwin International Airport in the months to come
A 10-year partnership agreement between Airport Development Group (ADG) and SSP will bring new food and beverage offerings to both Darwin International Airport and Alice Springs Airport in Australia starting this month.
The new partnership will see a staged transformation of the terminal food and beverage outlets and a range of new offerings.
SSP also has outlets in Sydney, Brisbane, Hobart, Melbourne, and Perth airports, and provides a range of national and international brands as well as bespoke concepts.

The new partnership between SSP and ADG has been nearly 12 months in the making to ensure we get the offerings just right for our customers. We are really thrilled to be bringing this level of customer experience to passengers traveling through our airports.”

Over the coming months, seven of these sites will be fully re-developed as part of the exciting terminal re-development.
