Hardywood, Beet Box and more will open at the Richmond airport this year
By the end of the year, folks flying out of Richmond airport should have four new places to eat or grab a drink.
Why it matters: Hardywood Park Craft Brewery and The Beet Box juice bar, two local brands, will be some of the new options.
The big picture: The Capital Region Airport Commission, the group that owns and operates Richmond International Airport, last week signed off on two new full-service restaurants and bars, plus two new coffee and cafe kiosks, for the airport.
The newcomers were selected from the commission's request for new concession proposals last year, according to BizSense, which first reported the news.
Three will land in Concourse A (the one on the right / if you're flying American or JetBlue), while Concourse B (if you're flying Delta, Southwest or United) will get the fourth.
Faber, Coe & Gregg, a New Jersey-based airport concession vendor, will operate the restaurants and Richmond's own Beet Box will run the two kiosks.
Zoom in: The Hardywood Park Craft Brewery (airport edition!) will go near gates A-15 and A-16 (in place of open seating) and include a full-service restaurant and bar, plus grab-and-go options, per the resolution adopted at last week's meeting.
The Beet Box's two concepts (one called The Beet Box and the other Homegrown) will go near gates A-8 and A-11.
Concourse B travelers won't be left behind though. A Wolfgang Puck Bar & Bites will taxi in near gates B-14 and B-15.
All four should be open by the end of the year, airport spokesperson Troy Bell tells Axios.

Citi plans to cut 3,500 tech roles in China as global banks cut costs
Citigroup said Thursday it plans to cut around 3,500 technology positions in China, in the latest move by a major U.S. bank to streamline global operations and reduce costs. The reduction of staff at the China Citi Solution Centers in Shanghai and Dalian is expected to be completed by the start of the fourth quarter this year, Citi said in a statement. The jobs affected are mostly in the information technology services unit, providing software technology development, testing and maintenance and operational services for Citi's global business. The company said some of the roles will be moved to Citi's technology centers elsewhere, without specifying the numbers of jobs or specific locations. The layoffs in China come as Citi continues to work through a broader plan announced January last year, to reduce 10% of its workforce, or about 20,000 employees globally. It has moved to streamline operation and downsize office in the U.S., Indonesia, the Philippines and Poland, the company said. Led by CEO Jane Fraser, Citi has undertaken a sweeping reorganization aimed at improving profitability and restoring investor confidence after years of lagging behind major U.S. banking peers. A slew of major global banks are under fresh pressure to trim costs against the backdrop of deteriorating global economic outlook as U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies spark concerns for declining global demand. Hong Kong-based Hang Seng Bank, a subsidiary of HSBC, said last month it was restructuring business and streamlining duplicate roles in a move that would lead to job losses for about 1% of its "core staff." The job cuts were part of a cost-cutting drive led by HSBC CEO Georges Elhedery, who aims to reduce expenses by $1.8 billion by the end of 2026. The Hong Kong and mainland China-focused lenders have reported rising bad loans over the last few years due to their relatively high exposure to the property sector in those key markets.

FAA says Newark airport's technology problems should be resolved by October
The head of the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday he's 'confident' the technology issues at troubled Newark Liberty International Airport will be resolved by October. 'The (transportation) secretary has been very clear with me that we need to fix this, and we're fixing this now,' Chris Rocheleau, the acting head of the FAA, told a House budget hearing Wednesday. 'The second piece to that is the staffing. I think by October, we will be very healthy in there at staffing levels that we need.' The FAA transferred air traffic control over Newark to a Philadelphia facility last July from New York, where it was previously located, a move seen as controversial by many controllers and the union that represents them. Rocheleau's remarks, before the House Appropriations subcommittee on transportation, come after the New Jersey airport experienced four air traffic control system outages in recent weeks, leaving pilots and controllers without communication at times. Those outages came amid ongoing staffing shortages for controllers and the construction of a runway, which was completed this week, earlier than anticipated. 'With the runway completed, we'll continue our work to harden the telecoms infrastructure and improving the staffing pipeline for the airspace,' said Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in a statement. The aging infrastructure and technology are some of the problems that could plague summer travel as Newark's airport tries to get back to flying at full capacity. Experts warn to typically expect disruptions during summer travel due to the volume of travelers at US airports, but the added pressure on the system could cause delays or cancelations. Last month, the Department of Transportation announced plans to build out a new air traffic control system. Part of that includes strengthening the existing infrastructure at Newark for a seamless summer of travel. A new fiber optic cable is now in place between Philadelphia and New York to improve air traffic control telecommunications. The FAA is seeking a company to build out the new system, the Department of Transportation said Wednesday. The agency issued a Request for Information for a company to implement a 'brand new air traffic control system over the next three years.' It identified five areas of interest for a new system: telecommunications, radio communications, surveillance, automation and facilities. Duffy has not disclosed how much the project would cost but has said he's counting on Congress to deliver funding. It's also unclear how this will impact Verizon's contract with the FAA to modernize the system. Verizon has a $2.4 billion contract to provide a long-sought upgrade to the FAA's communications system, known as the FAA Enterprise Network Services, or FENS, program. CNN reached out to the Department of Transportation for comment.
