In-flight catering company LSG Lufthansa officially opened its second snack bar facility at the Saipan International Airport to better serve arriving and departing passengers.<\/p>\n
LSG Guam-Saipan Managing Director Shane Smith, together with Commonwealth Ports Authority officials led by Board Chair Roman S. Palacios, graced the opening ceremony Friday.<\/p>\n
The outdoor kiosk was built in response to requests received by CPA on the need to establish a fast food store within the airport premises for people who are either waiting for their flights or those picking up incoming passengers.<\/p>\n
The Touch Down kiosk is the second snack bar of LSG at the SIA. The company is also operating Airlift snack bar located inside the airport facility.<\/p>\n
The outdoor snack bar was estimated to cost between $50,000 to $80,000 and can seat at least 80 customers. It provides food and beverage concession to both airport customers and CPA employees.<\/p>\n
The state-of-the-art kitchen facility is made of wall-to-wall stainless cabinets, grills among others. It will serve a string of daily set lunches, and fast food like grilled hamburgers, BBQ plate lunches and others.<\/p>\n
The snack bar has a stand-up counter within its interior complete with trash and plant receptacles, condiments and a place designed to accommodate rushing customers.<\/p>\n
CPA Executive Director Carlos H. Salas earlier said concession fee will stand still at 15 percent of gross sales which remains consistent with the existing Food and Beverage Agreement.<\/p>\n
In 1999, LSG Lufthansa’s food and beverage contribution to CPA coffers reached nearly $90,000, while its airline catering generated close to $510,000 in total revenues to the CPA for the same year.<\/p>\n
LSG Sky Chefs Saipan is a locally-established company for over 20 years. Its current staff is comprised of 50 percent local employees and 50 percent contracted nonresident workers. (EGA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
