Costing £1.6m, the adult-only lounge will be called 1903, in recognition of the year of the Wright Brothers' first flight. This new lounge will hold up to 71 people and provide a more premium offering for passengers using the airport. The lounge will benefit from airfield views, serve dishes prepared by its own chef and offer complimentary drinks, including premium spirits. Passengers using the lounge will also be able to make use of Fast Track security and unlimited free wi-fi.
The airport's CEO, Ken O'Toole, commented: "We continually listen to the needs of our passengers and 1903 offers something different from our existing airport lounges." Tickets for lounge use will be priced from £30 when booked in advance and will be on sale from February 1.
