The two partners were chosen based on passenger needs and dining quality. Terminal 3’s 2,900 square-metre dining space will offer a diverse range of options, from German bakeries and snack shops to a high-end bar with tapas and sushi, along with chic Italian restaurants. The central bar and two food courts are key highlights, located in the terminal’s unique marketplace.

The dining spaces in Terminal 3 are fully awarded, with the retail and service areas in their final phase. Sixty-five retail spaces, spanning 12,000 square metres, include shops, restaurants, services, and expansive duty-free stores in the non-Schengen area.

“We are expecting many international guests in Terminal 3 and have designed the new terminal to meet their needs and provide them an incredible experience. Our retail areas are exceptional in their diversity and quality and have been created to make the guest experience in our new terminal one to remember,” adds Giesen.
