Airline group unveils its first alliance-branded facility to consumers
SkyTeam, the airline group that includes Continental Airlines, Delta, KLM and Kenya Airways, opens its first alliance-branded lounge at Heathrow’s Terminal 4 on 4 June.
The 1,600 square metre two-level space is on the site of the old British Airways Concorde lounge, an area vacated by BA when it moved into Terminal 5.
The new lounge, from a flowing concept based on the SkyTeam ribbon logo by Brandimage – Desgrippes & Laga, features a wine bar, a wellness centre with showers, an oxygen bar and full-body massage chairs, an entertainment centre and luggage storage. The lounge is situated opposite gate 10 and will open from 5:30am to 10:30pm.
Lindsay Melrose, the firm’s associate director, said: “What really stands out is the series of ‘living walls’ – vertical gardens which at first glance may appear to be a straightforward case of hanging plants on a vertical surface, but were in fact a big technical challenge: under closer inspection it is an ingenious method of growing plants directly out of the walls using a unique planting and irrigation process; there is no soil involved.”
