New concession option offers local Milwaukee flavors and grab and go favorites
MILWAUKEE (April 25, 2023) – Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE) and award-winning airport concessionaire Paradies Lagardère are excited to announce the grand opening of Concordia Market on Concourse C.
An extension of the Airport’s successful Vino Volo restaurant, Concordia Market is the newest location from Paradies Lagardère’s locally customized gourmet market series.
The name pays homage to Milwaukee’s Historic Concordia Neighborhood, which dates to the 1850’s and is known for its large, elegant Victorian homes. The location features unique specialty items that differentiate it from other options in the Airport. Bronzeville Crossing, Bay View Exchange, Miller Valley Market, and Summerfest Maketplace are all existing Paradies Lagardère-operated locations at MKE that are similarly customized with elements from corresponding Milwaukee neighborhoods.
Concordia Market offers travelers the opportunity to enjoy an array of local traditions. Fresh daily food options include Milwaukee-based Press Waffles, pastries and sandwiches with Wisconsin-based Nueske’s meat, and coffee provided by the popular Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co. Travelers will also find a plentiful selection of grab and go options like sandwiches, parfaits, salads, and wraps.
The retail portion of Concordia Market offers great options for gourmet snacks, bottles of wine, and cans of beer from regional brewers. Local selections include cheese curds and block cheese from Clock Shadow Creamery, as well as a variety of healthy gluten-free, keto, and organic treats.
“The opening of Concordia Market brings added convenience and high-quality food options to those flying from our world-class MKE airport,” said County Executive David Crowley. “Passengers from around the world now have another way to easily access great products made locally here in Milwaukee.”
“We are thrilled to open the new Concordia Market at MKE and deliver a fresh, unique gourmet experience for travelers,” said Claude Guillaume, Senior Vice President of Operations for Paradies Lagardère Dining. “With a sophisticated sense of place, Concordia offers our guests an array of local artisanal assortments, including fresh and healthy snacks, quality grab and go, bottled wine, specialty retail treats, local coffee and more. It is a true market experience.”
Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport offers nonstop flights to 30+ destinations coast-to-coast, and more than 200 international destinations are available with one easy connection. MKE is served by Alaska, American, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit, Sun Country, and United. The complete list of nonstop cities can be found at flymke.com.
MKE, the winner of 2021 and 2022 ASQ Best Airport – North America awards for outstanding customer experience, is owned by Milwaukee County and operated by the Department of Transportation, Airport Division, under the policy direction of the Milwaukee County Executive and the County Board of Supervisors. The Airport is entirely funded by user fees; no property tax dollars are used for the Airport’s capital improvements or for its day-to-day operation.
2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
