A 'first-of-its-kind' new restaurant opening in Glasgow Airport will create new jobs.
The airport is set to welcome Tortilla to its departures lounge this summer, marking its first Mexican eatery and the first chain to open at an airport in Scotland.
The 30-seat venue will offer dine-in and also include a grab-and-go takeaway service.
All dishes are made fresh to order with quality ingredients and customers choose what goes inside their dish such as burritos, naked burrito bowls, salads, tacos, quesadillas and nachos.
People in Glasgow will be familiar with the restaurant as Tortilla already operates from a unit in Silverburn shopping centre.
Craig Norton, retail account manager at Glasgow Airport, said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with SSP, who will operate the Tortilla restaurant in our Glasgow Airport departure lounge.
“This new venue will further enhance the eating and drinking options we have within the airport with a cuisine we know our customers are looking for during their travels.
"The Tortilla brand has continuously grown year after year and I am sure the colourful and bursting-with-flavour menu items will be a hit with our customers.”
Andy Naylor, CEO at Tortilla added: “We are excited to be opening our third airport location with SSP, following success at London Gatwick Airport and Bristol Airport.
"Local Glaswegians will already know our brand from our location in the city centre, but this will allow them to enjoy some of our delicious Mexican food before jetting off to their next destination.”
It will be operated by SSP UK, a leading operator of food and beverage outlets in travel locations and provide up to 15 new jobs at the airport.
Cathy Granby, a business development director of SSP UK & Ireland, said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing Tortilla to a Scottish airport for the first time and extending our partnership with both Glasgow Airport and Tortilla.
"We aim to be the best part of the journey and this includes offering customers more choice every time they fly.”
