Swissport has unveiled its revamped Aspire lounge in the non-Schengen area of Amsterdam Schiphol airport.
The lounge reopened in the same week as the adjacent Oneworld facility was unveiled – the alliance’s first branded lounge in Europe.
The oneworld lounge was created in collaboration with Aspire, and indeed the two spaces share the same kitchen for operational efficiencies.
According to Swissport the design of the 625 sqm lounge was inspired by the Amsterdam School of architecture and the basalt stones of Dutch dikes.
Features of the 178-capacity facility include expanded workspace options for business travellers, and dedicated single seats for solo travellers.
There is also a “botanical room” towards the rear of the lounge, which “offers a tranquil retreat amidst the hustle and bustle of Schiphol airport”.
Swissport said that “the new lounge also features repurposed furniture from the previous space, showcasing Swissport’s commitment to sustainability”.
The lounge is open daily between 0600 and 2200, and is located between D and E Gates on the third floor, signposted as Lounge 41.
