The AUA Food Truck Plaza was created for everyone passing by the airport area — from family and friends waiting for arriving passengers or saying farewell to those departing, to passengers arriving or departing from our airport, airport employees, taxi drivers, visitors, and locals looking for a quick bite, coffee, or refreshing drink.
The plaza currently features four local food concepts:
