The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority announced Wednesday at its board of directors meeting the first concessions selected for Concourse E, which is now under construction at Dulles International Airport, as well as a new premium parking option that launched in September at Reagan National Airport.

New Concessions Coming to Dulles International

The new concourse will have 14 gates and 44,000 square feet of food and retail space – expanding the array of options for Dulles travelers. The new food, beverage and retail stores focus on brands that represent the regional D.C. experience.  

“The Airports Authority eagerly awaits these notable concepts that will complement the new and exciting Concourse E at Dulles International next year,” said Jaimini Erskine, Airports Authority vice president for marketing and concessions. “This continues our commitment of premier shopping and iconic local dining options for passengers traveling through the D.C. region as the airport grows.”

“We appreciate all the hard work that goes into building a program from the ground up that 'wows’ travelers the moment they enter the new concourse,” said Alyson Murphy, Vice President of Fraport Washington Partnership LLC. “Soon, visitors will have the opportunity to explore new shops and restaurants that showcase the unique charm of the DMV region in a spectacular setting. This reflects the essence of our program and Fraport Washington Partnership is thrilled to play a role in enhancing their experience at Dulles International.”
