Airport food deal inherited through bankruptcy could run through 2029

An airport food-and-beverage agreement that changed hands through bankruptcy could get three more years at Hartsfield-Jackson. Atlanta's Transportation Committee is scheduled to review the proposed renewal with OHM Concession Group on Oct. 14 at 10 a.m.⁠[1]

Resolution 26-R-4266 covers concession Package No. 7 on concourses B and F—not all airport restaurants. It would exercise the agreement's only three-year renewal option, extending the term from Oct. 31, 2026, through Oct. 30, 2029. That option belongs to the city; it is not an automatic extension.⁠[1]

The agreement's path to this point includes both pandemic relief and a change of operator. According to the resolution, a 2021 amendment extended the term through Oct. 30, 2026. Former operator Global Concessions filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April 2025, and the agreement was assigned to OHM under a court-approved asset purchase agreement dated that November. Atlanta acknowledged the assignment in an April 2026 amendment.⁠[1]

The aviation general manager and chief procurement officer recommend renewal, and the resolution says OHM is performing satisfactorily. The five-page proposal does not name the individual restaurants, spell out rents or provide performance figures.⁠[1]

The Oct. 14 listing is a scheduled review, not approval or an executed renewal. Even if authorized, the extension would bind Atlanta only after the mayor or a designee signs the renewal notice and delivers it to OHM.⁠[1]
