Travel Food Services (TFS), one of India’s leading airport food and beverage operators, has secured a new licence to operate a food and beverage outlet at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru.
The development marks another expansion of the company’s presence at one of the country’s fastest-growing airports, further strengthening its portfolio in the aviation hospitality sector.
New outlet to enhance passenger experience
According to company disclosures, the licence will allow Travel Food Services to establish and operate a new food and beverage outlet within the airport premises. The move is expected to improve dining options for passengers while catering to increasing footfall at Bengaluru airport.
As passenger traffic continues to rise, airports across India have been focusing on enhancing retail and dining experiences to improve customer satisfaction and generate non-aeronautical revenue.
Bengaluru airport continues to attract investments
Kempegowda International Airport has emerged as a major aviation hub, handling millions of domestic and international passengers every year. The airport has witnessed significant expansion in recent years, including the launch of Terminal 2 and the addition of new commercial and passenger amenities.
The growing number of travellers has created opportunities for hospitality, retail and food service companies to expand operations within airport terminals.
Travel Food Services strengthens airport portfolio
Travel Food Services operates several food and beverage brands across airports in India and overseas. The company has built a strong presence in major transit hubs by offering a mix of quick-service outlets, cafés and dining concepts tailored to traveller preferences.
Industry experts note that airport food and beverage services have become an important revenue stream as airports increasingly focus on delivering a comprehensive passenger experience beyond transportation.
The latest licence at Bengaluru airport is expected to further strengthen TFS’s footprint in the sector while supporting the airport’s efforts to offer diverse dining options to passengers.
Growth driven by rising air travel
With India’s aviation sector continuing to expand, airport operators and service providers are expected to invest further in infrastructure and customer-focused services. Bengaluru remains one of the key growth centres driving demand for airport retail and hospitality offerings.
The new licence reflects growing confidence in the long-term growth potential of India’s airport ecosystem and passenger services market
