Happy landing: Coffee icon among changes coming to Huntsville International Airport

A Starbucks and a full-line kitchen are part of a “comprehensive upgrade” to dining and retail options coming to Huntsville International Airport.

The existing restaurant and bar will undergo a refresh, with a new decor scheme and an upgrade to the current short-order kitchen. The airport said travelers can expect “gourmet, made-to-order selections for breakfast, lunch and dinner,” with some ingredients sourced locally.

Wilmington, N.C.-based Tailwind Hospitality was awarded the 10-year airport concession contract in July.
