Across the three airports, which are all owned by Manchester Aiports Group, sales of non-alcoholic beer have risen by 16.9 per cent compared to the previous year. This shift is most dramatic at London Stansted Airport, where Comptoir Libanais has reported a staggering 525 per cent increase in non-alcoholic beer sales year-on-year. Giraffe at Manchester Airport has seen a 833 per cent increase in vegan breakfast sales, while Bridgewater and Wagamama at the same airport have reported 201 per cent and 89 per cent increases, respectively. Richard Jackson, retail director at Manchester Airport, said: “Some products and menu items will always be popular at an airport, and we continue to see sales increase in line with growing passenger volumes – but there can be no denying the growing popularity of things like 0% beers, gut health shots and vegan brunches.” However, for those who did fancy a cold glass of beer at the airport, a different study found Manchester aiprort offered the second cheapest pint in the UK.
