Aspire, Swissport’s global airport lounge business, has unveiled a new three-tier service product across the expanded lounge space at Newcastle Airport, offering travelers an unrivalled choice in luxury and comfort ahead of their journeys.

Aspire Executive Lounges and Newcastle Airport have opened their brand-new lounge, following a multi-million pound refurbishment and expansion of the lounge surface space. The new lounge offers a significantly increased capacity to accommodate passengers wishing to relax, refresh or work during the busy summer travel period.

As part of its strategy to bring innovation and an enhanced customer experience, the lounge at Newcastle Airport will be the first Aspire lounge to offer three lounge products to passengers. Alongside the core Aspire offering there will be two new options, Luxe by Aspire and The Suite by Aspire.

Luxe by Aspire benefits from exclusive self-service food and beverage options and bespoke private and open working spaces aimed particularly for the business traveler.

The Suite by Aspire provides dedicated staff providing meet and greet and a fully hosted table service akin to a high-end restaurant and serving freshly prepared meals.
