The new lounge will be opened on April 3 and will be located in the mezzanine of Terminal 1. The hall will not be very large and will have a maximum capacity for 77 passengers. The 410sqm will be divided into three separate rooms. Designed to provide as much comfort as possible for passengers it will have a private lounge, buffet and guest showers, among other facilities.
