Built on the revolutionary concept of ‘affordable luxury’, the 0484 Aero Lounge emphasizes an exceptional and premium airport lounge experience at hourly rates for travellers.

Located outside the Security Hold Areas, right next to the business jet terminal T2, and adjacent to both domestic and international terminals, the lounge is accessible to both passengers and visitors alike.

“CIAL is committed to delivering a world-class experience for all passengers. As part of our ongoing

expansion, three of the seven mega-projects inaugurated by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Kerala on October 2, 2023, are already operational. Now, we proudly launch the fourth: the 0484 Aero RO Lounge.

This lounge introduces ‘The Art of Affordable Luxury’, making premium airport lounge experiences accessible to all passengers at Cochin Airport”, said S. Suhas IAS, Managing Director, CIAL.
