HMSHost is a leading global restaurateur specializing in providing diverse dining experiences for travelers across North America. It operates in over 120 airports and 80 highway stops in the United States, offering a wide array of culinary options to enhance the travel journey.

In early 2023, Dufry acquired HMSHost, further solidifying its position in the global travel experience sector. The acquisition has played a key role in expanding HMSHost's footprint worldwide.
