US travel retailer HMSHost has won a new contract to provide retail and food and beverage services at Indianapolis International airport. The deal includes nine points of sale—two of which are retail outlets—covering over 900sq m (9,687sq ft) in concourses A and B and in the Civic Plaza entrance hall in the new terminal, and is expected to generate accumulated sales of about $145m in the ten years to 2018. HMSHost has operated at the airport since 1996.

The Autogrill subsidiary also renewed its food and beverage concession at St Louis International airport, where it has operated since 1967. The new agreement extends the contract, originally due to expire in 2013, until 2020. The company expects the renewed deal to generate accumulated sales of over $585m.
