Avolta is expanding its travel retail and food and beverage presence across several major United States airports.

In Hawaii, the company partnered with the State Department of Transportation to expand dining offerings at Daniel K. Inouye International, Lihue, and Kahului airports. Through its HMSHost division, Avolta plans to develop new café and dining concepts that utilize regional ingredients and collaborations with local producers and chefs to reflect the state’s culinary identity.

Following this, Avolta’s Hudson brand secured a 20-year duty-free contract at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. This agreement includes the development of over 2,800 square meters of retail space across concourses A, N, and S. The expansion will feature international duty-free products alongside locally sourced foods, gifts, and Washington State spirits, incorporating immersive elements such as live performances and regional art installations.
