Construction begins on new space that will give top-tier WestJet Rewards members and select partner members a refined environment to work and rejuvenate
WestJet announced that work has begun on its first proprietary flagship lounge at the Calgary International Airport.
WestJet's flagship lounge in Calgary will give top-tier WestJet Rewards members and select partner members a refined environment to work and rejuvenate. As the airline with the most departures, destinations and seats from Calgary, the construction of the lounge underscores WestJet's ongoing commitment to growing its premium presence and guest experience.
"As WestJet continues its accelerated journey to becoming a global network carrier our new flagship lounge in Calgary will give top-tier WestJet Rewards members, Business cabin guests and select partner travellers a home within our home in Calgary," said d'Arcy Monaghan, WestJet's Vice-President, Loyalty. "This lounge will showcase WestJet's award-winning hospitality, refined style, elevated products and premium experience our guests have been enjoying with the launch of our new Dreamliner."
Working in partnership with the Calgary Airport Authority, WestJet's new lounge will be located near Concourse B to conveniently serve guests travelling from Concourses A and B in the Domestic Terminal, and from Concourse D in the International Terminal.
"Whether guests are starting a journey, or connecting, this premium lounge will elevate their experience," said Rob Palmer, CFO and Vice-President, The Calgary Airport Authority. "YYC is already proud to be home to WestJet, its Dreamliner hub, and now we're excited to welcome this flagship lounge at our airport. Congratulations to WestJet."
Designed in partnership with Gensler, world-class design and architectural firm, the lounge will seamlessly blend contemporary interior design with refined mountain living. This custom Canadian-inspired space brings together exceptional local food and beverage, along with business amenities designed to keep travellers connected. Once complete, it will be a place for guests to work, relax, rejuvenate and collaborate in comfort and style, reflective of WestJet's ongoing premiumization of its Boeing fleet and award-winning hospitality and service.
WestJet flagship lounge is scheduled to open in late summer 2020. Platinum, Gold and Silver WestJet Rewards members with complimentary lounge access benefits, along with guests travelling in the Business cabin, will be among the first to enjoy the new space.
More details on the lounge will be released in the coming months.
