Caterleisure has completed a major refurbishment of the airside catering facilities at the Isle of Man Airport, transforming the customer experience for all departing passengers. With an expanded footprint, both the Costa Coffee and newly named Ellan Vannin Bar now offer significantly more seating, upgraded service points, and an inviting, modern environment tailored for comfort and convenience.
The revamped layout now welcomes passengers straight into the Costa unit as they exit security. With additional till points, coffee machines, and display fridges, the enhanced setup ensures fast, friendly, and efficient service. Varied seating styles and flooring create clearly defined zones for both relaxation and dining, while three new digital menu screens display Costa’s popular range of hot and cold drinks and delicious snacks.
Adding a local flair, the new bar – Ellan Vannin Bar – highlights the Isle of Man’s rich heritage by offering a curated selection of local spirits and draught beers, alongside quality wines, prosecco, and cocktails.
Peter O’Connell, Joint Managing Director of Caterleisure, commented: “Customers are loving the new airside environment. The additional seating ensures passengers remain comfortable and refreshed, particularly during peak periods. We can’t wait to welcome all travellers to experience the exceptional facilities and service during their next visit.”
The transformation of the catering facilities has been supported by the Isle of Man Airport as part of its wider commitment to improving the passenger journey.
Geoff Pugh, Airport Director at Isle of Man Airport, added: “We’re delighted to support this investment by Caterleisure, which significantly enhances the overall experience for our passengers. The new layout, local touches, and improved service offering make for a much more welcoming and enjoyable environment. It’s a great example of how collaboration can deliver real benefits for our customers.”
This refurbishment marks a new chapter in the airport’s continued effort to improve facilities with further enchantments later this summer.
