Emirates invests in premium lounge at BIA
Emirates opened its passenger lounge at the Bandaranaike
International Airport, Katunayaka (BIA), becoming the first
international airline to invest in such a facility at the BIA. Completed
at a cost of Rs 200 m, the Emirates lounge on the second floor of the
Arrivals Terminal is exclusively for the use of the airline’s First and
Business Class passengers and Gold members of Skywards, its frequent
flyer program.
The 5,778-square-foot space is designed, equipped and furnished to
the exacting specifications developed for Emirates lounges at 30 other
major international airports around the world. It can accommodate 118
passengers in comfort, helping further cushion them from travel
weariness. “Emirates is one of the most active carriers serving Colombo,
with 28 flights a week,” said Emirates Area Manager Sri Lanka and the
Maldives, Chandana de Silva,.
