Gate-transport at airports going worldwide

Food, , , ,

We absolutely have a trend. Or a brand new way of doing things at airports.

Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is the present day airport to provide a service that allows passengers to order food from airport providers and have it brought to them wherever they may be within the airport, in approximately 15 mins.

Schiphol is working with food-shipping employer Deliveroo and HMSHost International on a pilot software for deliveries in Piers (or concourses) D and E, and in the Mercure Hotel in Departure Lounge three, and up to now the pilot is a huge fulfillment.

“The reactions from the passengers had been very tremendous,” Schiphol spokesman Paul Weber informed me thru e-mail, “Passengers are smiling and waving to our deliverers, taking pix of them and announcing how progressive & quirky the provider is. Most of them are very amazed by the lifestyles of such a carrier, calling Schiphol “The airport of the future.”

For now, the food to be had are prepared at Kebaya and The Market, The Grill and The Oven, which are placed in Schiphol’s Street Food Market and are delivered by scooter, for a transport fee of €2.50 (about $three) – but unfastened delivery is being offered thru March.

Schiphol isn’t the first airport to provide gate delivery. Airport Sherpa gives gate transport of meals and products at Baltimore-Washington International Airport. At Your Gate these days began offering gate transport at San Diego International Airport. Both corporations plan expansions to other airports.

And, as part of an Airport Innovation Challenge, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, a begin-up known as Fetchy Fox acquired a $15,000 prize to broaden a delivery application for food and retail at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Washington’s Dulles Airport.
