Avolta has been awarded two 10-year contracts at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). The new contracts will add over 700 square meters of retail and dining space in the new 14-gate Concourse E, scheduled to open in late 2026.
Avolta’s Hudson will open five new locations, showcasing local businesses. A hybrid concept will blend travel retail and food & beverage, and a collection of automated retail points will provide 24-hour dining options from popular U.S. brands, supporting an on-demand passenger experience.
Complementing the retail offering, Avolta’s HMSHost will introduce local, award-winning craft spirit company MurLarkey Distilled Spirits through a new bar and restaurant.
“The new Concourse E will enhance the entire travel experience at Dulles International and is part of the multi-year Dulles Next airport construction program to accommodate future growth. This next-generation concourse represents our commitment to innovation, customer service and showcasing the best of the Washington region,” said Chryssa Westerlund, Airports Authority executive vice president and chief revenue officer. “We welcome the partnership with Avolta and Fraport USA that will bring travelers new travel retail and dining experiences that reflect the spirit of our community.”
Avolta is also featuring digital engagement, leveraging in-store technology such as self-checkout, allowing for greater convenience and speed. Travelers will also be able to enjoy all the benefits of the Club Avolta loyalty program, gaining access to exclusive offers, rewards, and cross-promotions.
