Located landside on the airport¡¯s second floor before security control, the lounge is open to all departing and arriving travellers as well as non-travellers.
Entrance to the lounge costs €49 per person and includes a fast-track security pass for travellers on direct flights to destinations outside the USA. The lounge is open daily from 8:00 to 20:00.
Swissport said the new facility, its first in Italy, comes amid growing demand for premium lounge services in the country, with plans to open additional spaces at other airports. ?
¡°The new lounge underscores our strong commitment to the Italian market,¡± said Swissport Italia managing director Marina Bottelli.
¡°We are already in discussions with other airports and plan to open more lounges in the future... [we are also] exploring further growth opportunities across ground services, cargo handling, and executive aviation,¡± she said.
Swissport operates more than 20 Aspire lounges across the UK and Europe, including at London Heathrow, Amsterdam Schiphol, Copenhagen, Helsinki and Zurich airports.
