Ontario International Airport (ONT) has been recognized with two prestigious industry awards, highlighting its excellence in the travel food-and-beverage sector. This Southern California hub secured the top regional spot for Best Airport Bar/Pub of the Year in the Americas and Caribbean, while also receiving international “highly commended” accolades for Customer/Hospitality Initiative of the Year. The awards were announced at the Airport Food & Beverage (FAB) + Hospitality Conference, hosted by The Moodie Davitt Report on Wednesday night (June 26).

ONT proudly hosted this year’s FAB conference, a premier global gathering of airport food, beverage, and hospitality leaders held at the Ontario Convention Center on Tuesday and Wednesday. The airport stood out for its groundbreaking collaboration with Brewery X, renowned for its craft brews, which recently launched a venue in Terminal 2. Together, ONT and Brewery X have introduced a pioneering customer experience featuring the airport’s first TopGolf simulator.

“We are thrilled to earn two coveted FAB awards, but even more excited about the response we’ve gotten from our customers about the enhanced amenities we’ve added to both of our passenger terminals. Brewery X is a great example of the commitment our entire ONT team has made to creating an enjoyable and memorable traveler,” said Elisa Grey, chief revenue management officer for the Ontario International Airport Authority.

“Our partnership with Ontario International Airport has been a great one, and it has been an absolute delight to serve travelers with our variety of menu items. We thank FAB and Moodie Davitt for this tremendous honor,” said Chris Pennington, owner and operator of Brewery X.

The FAB awards add to Ontario International Airport’s impressive collection of national and international accolades in recent years. These include two awards from Airports Council International-North America for the airport’s brand and marketing communications, four international NYX awards, and two Telly Awards for online commercials. ONT has also achieved recognition as a national Great Place to Work and was ranked No. 1 among all airports in California in the esteemed J.D. Power 2023 North America Airport Satisfaction Study.
