Seattle: a successful makeover for the British Airways lounge

The complete renovation of the salon British Airways has just been completed at Seattle. It can once again welcome business travellers in a décor that combines local decor with the elegance of British design. New features include a completely redesigned catering area - with an à la carte offer for First passengers - and a brand new bar in the centre of the lounge.

Seattle Tacoma joins the club of business destinations that have benefited from a renovation plan in recent months, including SingaporeLagos, Washington and London. " Last year we announced our £7 billion transformation programme and promised to improve the customer experience, both on the ground and in the air. "says Calum Laming. The British Airways Customer Director continues: " Our global network of 28 lounges in 20 airports all play an important role in our customers' journey, which is why we are committed to providing the best possible experience. Like our customers and colleagues, each lounge is unique. Customers can expect to see nods to our British heritage blended seamlessly with elements that celebrate the locality of the destination. We've worked with local designers, artists and suppliers from around the world to give each lounge its own British Original personality - and we can't wait to unveil more. ".

Record business for Tacoma

L'Seattle airport returned last year to the level of activity it enjoyed before the health crisis. With 52.6 million passengers, Tacoma not only exceeded the 2023 figures (+3%) but also the 2019 record (+2%). And the hub's managers intend to keep up the momentum this year, in particular by further investing in infrastructure modernisation: " There is still a lot to be done, with almost 5 billion improvements planned for Seattle Airport over the next five years, with the aim of completing major projects before the 2026 World Cup events "says Seattle Tacoma's management. They have already set the course for the coming months. Forecasts for 2025 point to a 2% increase in passenger traffic, i.e. a total of 53.5 million passengers expected.
