London City Airport celebrates 40 years of aviation by opening its first luxury pre-flight hospitality experience
The new lounge will open in 2027 in partnership with Swissport International's airport hospitality brand, Aspire Pre-Flight Hospitality.
The modern luxury design aesthetic will welcome guests into the space that has a five-star hotel-like lobby within the departures lounge. The bespoke features are designed for an international audience, including a centerpiece cocktail bar and barista station serving locally roasted coffee.
As part of London City Airport’s continued commitment to both business travellers and upscale leisure travellers, there will be a dedicated workspace with extensive seating and private booths to provide privacy for calls.
Andy Cliffe, Chief Executive Officer of London City Airport, commented, “Our partnership with Aspire Pre-Flight Hospitality has unlocked an exciting opportunity to bring this space to life at a time when we are growing and innovating across our business. The introduction of this exclusive experience is answering a clear demand from passengers and will elevate our unrivalled customer offer and reputation as London’s most loved airport. We’re delighted to be partnering with Aspire Pre-Flight Hospitality on this project, who have a proven track record of designing and operating luxury lounges in airports around the world.”
