As a united company, boasting expertise in both travel retail and F&B, we are dedicated to providing a more holistic offering to our valued partners and we are very happy to be able to showcase this commitment here in Türkiye.

Our well-established retail presence at Sabiha Gökçen Airport also grants us an opportunity to explore different hybrid concepts, combining our expertise across F&B and travel retail to reimagine the experience of travelers.” Avolta’s F&B portfolio meets the diverse needs of international travelers, and at Sabiha Gökçen the company offers renowned brands like KFC and Starbucks, catering to local preferences with 40 Degrees Bar & Brewery and Karaf?r?n, and providing memorable dining experiences with the versatile menu at Happy Moons. Now, Avolta is set to enhance its portfolio with four exciting new stores, blending global and local flavors and designs to create a sense of place for every traveler. Two stores will be additional locations for the unique restaurant-café, Karaf?r?n, an intimate and warm space for guests to enjoy a fresh breakfast or traditional oven-baked delicacies with a modern touch, accompanied by a glass of perfectly brewed tea or coffee. Avolta will also open a proprietary bar to be fueled by Anadolu Efes, a popular Turkish beer producer and Europe’s fifth largest brewer.
