London City Airport is to open a premium lounge in partnership with Swissport International\u2019s airport hospitality brand, Aspire Pre\u2011Flight Hospitality.<\/p>\n
Perhaps surprisingly for a business-focussed airport handling millions of passengers per year, there has been no lounge until now.<\/p>\n
Construction is now underway, with a planned opening by Q1 2027. The lounge will be situated after security and will feature a view of the airport\u2019s runway. It will feature amenities familiar to users of other similar facilities, but with the addition of dedicated workspaces with extensive seating and private booths to provide privacy for calls.<\/p>\n
