Delta
Air Lines has not only expanded its lounge at Miami International Airport, but
it made it more stylish and chic.
The
airline tried to make it as contemporary and colorful as the city itself.
Opened
on April 9, the club added 4,000 more square feet to bring the total to 12,000
square feet.
“Miami is an important global transport hub, with increasing
prominence in the Delta network,” said Claude Roussel, Vice President – Sky
Clubs and Lounge Experience. “The expansion and renovation of the MIA Club
helps us support the growth in this market and elevates the lounge experience
to one suited to the profile of this vibrant city.”
The lounge expansion features a new service buffet and
additional beverage station to support higher guest attendance. The club now
seats more than 300. Seating in the expansion is tailored to the needs of the
business traveler, with single-seat dining tables, a communal table with a
charging source in the center, and power outlets at almost every seat.
It’s not just the lounge that is expanding.
This summer, Delta will offer 34 peak-day flights from Miami to
12 destinations, including international service to Havana, Cuba. All service
will be operated on Delta mainline equipment, with premium cabin classes
available across flights.
Miami is one of nine domestic hubs that Delta operates in the
United States. The airline is trying to make inroads against American Airlines,
which has a major hub in Miami. Florida is home to more than 7,500 Delta
employees. This year, profit sharing payouts to state-based employees totaled
$31.5 million.
