FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) A new restaurant, coffee shop, and market area are now open at Fort Wayne International Airport. The new businesses are part of the East Terminal Expansion project first announced in June, 2023. The new terminal restaurant area includes Hop River Brewing and Bon Bon's Coffee as well as Tailwinds Marketplace which has souvenirs, travel related products along with books and magazines. The opening of the new terminal restaurant area is the first major portion of the East Terminal Expansion to be open to the public. This space includes open concept seating, a large bar area featuring Hop River’s local beer selections, a brand-new kitchen area with all new equipment, a new point of sales system, updated technology, an open shared counter for easy ordering, and more. A new airport lounge also occupies the area, with an expected opening at a later date. "We are thrilled to welcome Tailwind Concessions to FWA. This new addition allows our passengers to enjoy local flavors and a unique sense of place, enhancing the travel experience with a true taste of our region’s vibrant culture and promoting the idea of both flying and eating local.” Said Scott Hinderman, Executive Director of Airports. “We are also excited for passengers to finally experience the first finished portion of the East Terminal Expansion Project. We look forward to more progress on the new spaces within the airport terminal and hope the community and FWA passengers are excited for what’s to come.” All three businesses will be open from 5 a.m. until the last departure of the day.
