New Caffè Nero welcomes first customers at Belfast City Airport
Caffè Nero has opened at Belfast City Airport, replacing a Costa Coffee outlet.
The new 2,100 sq ft coffeehouse, in the main arrivals area, is the company’s first permanent site in a Northern Ireland airport.
Airport commercial director Katy Best said: “It is fantastic that Caffè Nero has committed to a permanent unit at Belfast City Airport, further enhancing the extensive food and beverage range currently available to passengers. Our passengers and meet-and-greeters have been asking for a land-side coffee unit and it is great that we have been able to deliver on this.”
Will Stratton-Morris, chief executive of Caffe Nero UK, the largest independent coffee house group in Europe, added: “We are seeing strong performances across all our airport sites, and with Belfast City Airport predicting passenger numbers will exceed pre-pandemic numbers in the coming years, it is an important site for us.
“We were founded in 1997 on a philosophy of delivering premium, award-winning Italian coffee, a warm and welcoming ambience, good food, and personal service to everyone that enters our doors.
“These are values we share with Belfast City Airport, making it a fantastic addition to our airport portfolio, which already includes Heathrow, Edinburgh, and Manchester.
“We’re delighted to be working in partnership with Belfast City Airport as it strives to deliver an exceptional airport experience.”
