SkyTeam has opened a new lounge at Istanbul’s Atatürk International Airport (IST). The lounge is available to Elite Plus, first- and business-class passengers flying from the airport on any of the alliance’s 10 airlines that serve Istanbul.
SkyTeam’s Istanbul lounge is a key milestone in the alliance’s airport-focused initiative, SkyPort. Developed to realize synergies for SkyTeam members by sharing facilities at airports worldwide, SkyPort also improves the travel experience for passengers. As part of this initiative, SkyTeam plans to open two more lounges: in Sydney by the end of 2013 and in Beijing in 2014. Other SkyPort projects include the co-location of check-in and airport ticket office facilities at a growing number of airports globally.
The new lounge in Istanbul seats up to 90 passengers and offers high-end hospitality with amenities including a business center with printing facilities and complimentary WiFi; a relaxation zone with oxygen bar and massage chairs; a bar and buffet offering a selection of different cuisines; more than 70 electric power sockets for customer use; and a reading area.
