GUWAHATI: The Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati, the bustling hub of Northeast India, continues to soar in air travel with the airport handling a remarkable 5.6 million passengers in 2023.
Anticipating an exponential increase, the airport gears up for a surge to 13 million passengers with the inauguration of its new integrated terminal building later this year.
In this evolving landscape, there has been a notable surge in demand for well-equipped lounges.
These airport sanctuaries provide far more than mere comfortable seating; they have transformed into havens of convenience and tranquillity.
As passengers grapple with the intricacies of navigating through security protocols, boarding procedures, and occasionally unavoidable delays, the inherent value of a dedicated lounge experience becomes increasingly evident.
Recognising this need for a respite from the airport hustle, Guwahati Airport has strategically positioned two well-appointed lounges on the ground floor and first floor, just after the security check area, aiming to address the challenges faced by passengers in this bustling environment.
These lounges offer a haven for passengers seeking respite with amenities such as Wi-Fi, plush seating, and a delectable array of food and beverages.
Accessible with partner bank credit cards or through a paid-programme-membership, these lounges provide a serene escape from the bustling departure gates.
One of the premium lounges, the Primus Lounge, is located on the ground floor in the SHA area near gate number 2.
Operating 24/7, this lounge boasts a personalised service experience, paying meticulous attention to the needs of its guests.
Services include seamless WiFi connectivity, flight information display systems, and live refreshment counters.
The buffet meals feature an enticing blend of Indian and continental cuisine, providing a gastronomic delight for travellers.
Covering an expansive area of 85 sqm, the Primus Lounge accommodates up to 25 guests simultaneously, ensuring an intimate and exclusive atmosphere.
Accessible with leading bank cards, subject to bank eligibility, the lounge serves as a retreat for passengers seeking comfort and tranquillity amid the vibrant airport ambiance.
As Guwahati Airport looks ahead to the inauguration of its new terminal building, these state-of-the-art lounges promise to redefine the travel experience for millions of passengers passing through the region’s largest and most dynamic aviation hub.
