Innsbruck welcomes guest number 100.000 to the lounge
Innsbruck Airport welcomed its 100.000th guest to the "Tyrol Business Lounge" on Saturday. The exclusive waiting area was opened in December 2007. The airport is delighted with the high level of use. After two difficult years for the entire travel industry, the airport is all the more pleased that the number of guests is rising again and that the 100.000 mark has now been exceeded. The 100.000th guest, 11-year-old Alexandra, visited the Tyrol Business Lounge with her family before flying to Stockholm (with the airline SAS) to perfectly round off her winter holiday in Tyrol. Patrick Dierich, deputy airport director, and Dominik Abolis, head of Passenger Services, were keen to give her a personal welcome. "This is pure relaxation before a flight. Enjoying the Tyrolean mountain scenery in this beautiful location one more time before heading home prolongs the holiday feeling. We will definitely be back," enthused Alexandra's family. The desire to create a frequent flyer lounge at the airport had been there for a long time. In 2017, this wish was finally realized together with the award-winning Tyrolean interior designer Nina Mair. The more than 250m² lounge impresses with its high-quality design, stylish ambience and the central theme of alpine-urban connection, which is reflected in the breathtaking panoramic view and the contrasting materials used. The deputy airport director Patrick Dierich is still enthusiastic more than four years after the opening: "We are still proud and happy about the implementation of the Tyrol Lounge at our airport. Nina Mair has succeeded in creating an interior design jewel with this project, which is rightly considered unique.
