Innsbruck Airport welcomed 100.000 guests in the “Tyrol Business Lounge” on Saturday. The exclusive waiting area was opened in December 2007. The airport is pleased with the lively use.

After two difficult years, which lie behind the entire travel industry, people at the airport are all the more pleased about the increasing number of guests and the 100.000 mark that has now been exceeded.

The 100.000th guest, 11-year-old Alexandra, visited the Tyrol Business Lounge with her family before her departure to Stockholm (with the airline SAS) to round off her winter vacation in Tyrol perfectly. Patrick Dierich, Deputy Airport Director, and Dominik Abolis, Head of Passenger Services, did not miss the personal greeting.

“This is pure relaxation before a flight. Enjoying the Tyrolean mountain scenery in this beautiful location before you go home extends the holiday feeling. We'll definitely be back," enthused Alexandra's family.

The desire to create a frequent flyer lounge at the airport has been around for a long time. In 2017, this wish could finally be implemented together with the award-winning Tyrolean interior designer Nina Mair. The more than 250m² large lounge impresses with its high-quality design, stylish ambience and the central theme of the alpine-urban connection, which is reflected in the breathtaking panoramic view and the high-contrast materials used.

The deputy airport director Patrick Dierich is still enthusiastic more than four years after the opening: "We are still proud and happy about the implementation of the Tyrol Lounge at our airport. With this project, Nina Mair has succeeded in creating an interior design gem that can rightly be described as unique. I don't know of any comparable frequent flyer lounge."
