Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) has opened the first-ever kosher and halal market in a U.S. airport. PKS Kosher Market, located in Terminal A West and operated by Prime Kosher Sports, offers travelers kosher- and halal-observant grab-and-go fare, including grilled chicken Caesar wraps; falafel wraps and plates; smoked turkey sandwiches on pretzel buns; specialty salads and more. The market also features gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan and allergy-conscious food items.
“PKS Kosher Market is designed to meet the clear demand for kosher and halal foods in airports,” said Allan Bailey, president of PKS Airport. “It’s been a journey to get here, but we are very excited to get this venture off the ground.”
“Bringing a certified kosher and halal offering to PHL is key to providing a diverse lineup of dining options that welcomes all travelers,” said Mel Hannah, vice president and general manager of MarketPlace PHL. “With the introduction of PKS Kosher Market, passengers will have access to fresh meals that meet dietary standards in a convenient format.”
