DAY And Tailwind Enter New Concession Agreement

Dayton International Airport (DAY) has announced a new, five-year agreement with concessionaire Tailwind DAY LLC. The contract, beginning January 2026 and running through December 31, 2030, will allow Tailwind to invest $2 million in capital improvements to open Warped Wing brewing company, fast-casual pizza concept Buckeye Pie, eateries The 1903 and Gem City Provisions, and make improvements on the current Dunkin’ Donuts. Renovations will include upgraded bars, countertops, seating, flooring, wall coverings, lighting, televisions, a hot coffee bar, and grab-and-go coolers.

“This partnership with Tailwind represents a bold reimagining of our airport’s culinary landscape,” said Gil Turner, DAY’s department of aviation director. “We’re excited to offer travelers a refreshed, locally inspired experience that showcases the best of Dayton’s hospitality.”
