A new food and beverage concession area is coming to Wilmington Airport

Official response and confirmed impact

"We’re thrilled to partner with Sky+Go and break ground on this new concession space, which represents a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to improve passenger amenities and create economic opportunities at Wilmington Airport," said Benjamin Clendaniel, director of airport operations at the Delaware River and Bay Authority, operator of the airport.

"As passenger traffic continues to grow, providing high-quality, convenient food, beverage, and retail options in our gate area is essential to delivering an exceptional customer experience."

As of July, Avelo Airlines' yearly passenger traffic had risen to 364,000, up from 331,000 a year earlier.

The DRBA Board of Commissioners unanimously awarded a contract to BSS Contractors, LLC of West Grove, PA, to construct and outfit the concession space to serve hot foods, coffee, chilled beverages, cold foods, and bar seating.

The construction cost is $386,000.

The DRBA Board authorized a five-year lease and operating agreement with Heart Full of Soul, LLC, d/b/a Sky+Go.
