No1 Lounges secures tender to bring award-winning lounge experiences to Jersey Airport and the Channel Islands
No1 Lounges Ltd, a Swissport ALD Ltd company, is proud to announce it has been awarded the airport lounge tender by Ports of Jersey, with plans to bring its award-winning lounge experience to Jersey Airport (JER). Scheduled for completion in summer 2025, the lounge will reflect No1 Lounges’ proven ability to deliver exceptional hospitality in an exciting new region.
The new No1 Lounge at Jersey Airport will place a strong emphasis on local recruitment, with a focus on attracting talent from the surrounding area. By tapping into the local workforce, No1 Lounges aims to bring a sense of community and a unique understanding of the region to the lounge experience.
The lounge’s design draws significant inspiration from the beauty and charm of Jersey, ensuring a seamless blend of the island’s natural aesthetic with No1 Lounges' signature elegance. Spanning 5,900 sq ft, the lounge will feature over 5,000 sq ft of front-of-house space, providing comfortable seating for 148 guests. The expansive layout is designed to offer ample space for relaxation, work, and socialising.
One of the standout features of the lounge will be its panoramic views, which will allow guests to enjoy breathtaking vistas while they unwind in an environment that truly celebrates the best of Jersey. Whether guests are looking to relax or catch up on work before their flight, the design will provide a serene and inspiring backdrop.
Construction is set to begin imminently, with the completion of the lounge projected for summer 2025. This new addition to Jersey Airport is expected to elevate the travel experience and provide a memorable space for passengers to enjoy before they take off.
The No1 Lounge will be open to all travellers departing from Jersey Airport, regardless of airline or travel class, ensuring a premium pre-flight experience for everyone. Members of Priority Pass, the leading airport experiences programme, and LoungeKey cardholders will be able to enjoy access to this new space. Jersey Airport serves as a vital gateway, offering convenient connections to numerous mainland UK airports as well as popular European destinations. With this new lounge, No1 Lounges aims to enhance the journey for passengers travelling to and from the Channel Islands.
No1 Lounges is owned by Airport Dimensions, the global leader in developing airport experiences and joint venture partner Swissport. This latest offering by the partnership will be the seventeenth lounge in their market-leading portfolio, with other locations across the UK at Birmingham Airport, London Gatwick, London Heathrow and London Luton.
Rami El-Dahshan, Managing Director of No1 Lounges, said: "This is such an exciting moment for No1 Lounges, and we’re thrilled to be part of this ambitious project at Jersey Airport. Jersey has an incredible energy and unique charm, and we’re passionate about creating a lounge experience that reflects the spirit of the island. Hot on the heels of our latest opening at Heathrow and as part of our ambitious expansion across the UK and Europe, this project is a testament to our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences to travellers. It’s not just about building a space—it’s about immersing ourselves in the culture and collaborating with the local community to create something really special. We can’t wait to bring it to life."
Matt Thomas, Chief Executive of Ports of Jersey, said: “I am delighted to announce our partnership with No1 Lounges, and we are looking forward to being able to provide this stylish sanctuary from the busy terminal, run by an award-winning lounge provider which successfully operates 15 UK airport lounges. No1 Lounges have a reputation for delivering outstanding customer service, a welcoming atmosphere, and a memorable experience for every guest, and we are confident that this lounge will provide a relaxing environment to unwind before a flight.”
