FAB Awards: Airport Food to Go Offer of the Year finalists revealed

SPAIN. The 2025 Airport Food and Beverage (FAB) + Hospitality Conference & Awards is now just 19 days away.

Today The Moodie Davitt Report is delighted to reveal the finalists in an all-important category for any domestic or international gateway – FAB Airport Food to Go Offer of the Year.

The 2025 Award winners will be revealed at the FAB 2025 Gala Dinner in Barcelona on 26 June.

There are 23 categories in this year’s FAB Awards, which attracted a record-breaking number of entries. There will also be additional special judges’ awards.

Commenting on the latest shortlist, The Moodie Davitt Report Chairman and Founder of the FAB Awards Martin Moodie said: “It is unsurprising that this category drew a record number of entries, prompting our extensive line-up of finalists representing all regions and a fascinating array of food and drinks offers.

“In a fast-paced travel environment, quality food-to-go options form a crucial part of the consumer offer. The best of  the 2025 submissions – and they are very good indeed – show that food served fast does not mean compromising on quality. 

“We are thrilled to see such a global spread of entries, from Australia to Austria, China to Colombo, Europe to Ethiopia, and Kazakhstan to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

The remaining category finalists will be announced this week.   ‍
