After going nearly five months without food services, travellers are once again be able to grab a meal or a coffee at the Prince George International Airport.
The Prince George Airport Authority (PGAA) has announced it is bringing back food and beverage services, thanks to a new partnership with Noir Food Services.
The airport (YXS) has been without food services since Nov. 28, when it was announced that Locals by Farmhouse and Gourmet Express Cafe — the two restaurants in the terminal — would be closing.
The first food option to open at YXS is the Fly Away Café, located in the departures lounge. The café, now open, offers grab-and-go options, fresh meals and coffee.
The PGAA says the sit-down Altitude Restaurant and Lounge is expected to open in early summer.
Noir Food Services is a BC-based hospitality company with locations in Smithers, Nelson, Salmon Arm, Kamloops, Kelowna, Cranbrook and Vernon.
The company offers a diverse portfolio of food and beverage establishments across the province, including fine dining, catering and other food services, according to the PGAA announcement.
“We’re excited to partner with the Prince George Airport and bring fresh, locally inspired food and beverage options to travellers,” said Jeremy Roth, president of Noir Food Services. “With the opening of the Fly Away Café and Altitude Restaurant and Lounge, we’re committed to creating dining experiences that reflect both the vibrancy of the region and the needs of passengers on the move.”
