Glasgow Airport has unveiled the first design images of its exclusive new executive lounge. The Lomond Lounge will be based airside in the departures area and is scheduled to open later this summer.
More than £1.6 million (€1.8m) is being invested in the new facility, which will create 25 new jobs and operate from 05:00 to 21:00 daily. It will be the fourth lounge facility at Glasgow, as the number of people looking to enjoy access to exclusive lounge facilities is on the increase. Emirates and British Airways both have their own separate facilities at Glasgow, while the airport has operated its UpperDeck lounge for a number of years.

“We’re very excited about the introduction of the Lomond Lounge later this summer and the superior customer experience it will deliver for our passengers,” says Mark Johnston, Managing Director, Glasgow Airport. “While the UpperDeck continues to be extremely popular with our business and leisure passengers, demand for lounge access continues to rise as more and more people look to start their travels in style. The potential for the site of the new Lomond Lounge was huge given its prime location in the airport’s departures area and the fantastic views it offers of both the airfield and the stunning backdrop of the Campsie Fells. The Lomond Lounge will set the benchmark in providing a premium level of service and comfort when it opens its doors and I’m sure our customers will be very impressed with everything this luxurious new facility will offer.”
The look and feel of the 4,500 sq ft lounge has been inspired by the neighbouring Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. It features a mix of table service for a la carte dining, and more relaxed seating areas where passengers can unwind in comfort and enjoy a snack or drink before their flight.
The natural colours and contemporary styling have also been balanced with a strong appreciation of Glasgow Airport’s original Basil Spence-designed architecture, with the lounge housing his renowned barrel-vaulted ceilings.
The lounge will include a business suite area and will feature charging outlets, high-speed WiFi, flight information displays and complimentary national newspapers and glossy magazines.
