Karen Bender, e-commerce and marketing director at
Copenhagen airport, said: "Copenhagen airport is at the front of the
queue, ready to share good dining experiences with our visitors and give them
something to write home about. In fact, we know that more than one in two
passengers travels alone, which gives us a unique opportunity to give these
people an experience they can share with a person they don't know and take
happy memories with them.”

Explaining the concept, Lasse Askov and Bo Lindegaard of I’m
a KOMBO said: "The objective is to establish a dialogue between two
travellers who would otherwise never have talked with each other. We do so by
offering them a dining experience where travellers who do not know each other
meet and share a meal. Hopefully, they will take this mood along to their
flight and when they travel into the world."
HALLO HELLO offers a three-course menu focusing on seasonal
ingredients. There is a choice of a meat menu or a fish menu. The restaurant is
designed so that guests share a table. The tray presented by the waiter serves
both as a tray and a tabletop with space for the things the guests will share.
The last course of the menu is served in a goodie bag which the guest can take
along and share on his or her flight, train ride or the like.
