What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Passengers flying out of Durango-La Plata County Airport can now access a Steamworks Hub after passing through the Transportation Security Administration checkpoint. This hub offers local craft beer and freshly prepared meals. The new concessionaire, Sky Dine, is a South Dakota-based company that secured the contract in 2025, replacing Tailwind Concessions.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The airport is currently undergoing a major renovation to modernize its facilities. The shift to Sky Dine as the concessionaire was driven by the company's focus on partnering with local brands. This move follows a 2023 bidding process where Tailwind won the contract over Durango Deli.
