We appreciate the chance to bridge our network of premium quality common use lounges from Europe to North America. Our vision is to develop a National network of lounges for Canadian travellers who want a comfortable place to relax or work prior to boarding their flights.

We look forward to working with the Calgary team to bring this vision to reality before springtime travel begins."   Julien De Schutter, Vice President Marketing for the Calgary Airport Authority commented: “This first-ever North American common-use lounge agreement with Servisair/GlobeGround represents an important addition to the service amenities available to users of our most recently added Concourse D.

We see this as an excellent addition to our thriving airport”.   Servisair/GlobeGround, a division of the Penauille Group, is one of the world’s largest providers of ground handling services, handling over 100 million passengers a year across a network of 145 locations, within 31 countries across four continents.   The Calgary Airport Authority is a not-for-profit corporation responsible for the management and development of Calgary International Airport and Springbank Airport under long-term lease from the Government of Canada.

Transborder (Canada-US flights) and domestic traffic continue to reach new heights, with more than a six percent increase in 2004. The transborder sector’s strong growth was due in part to the introduction of scheduled service to Las Vegas, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, with increased service to Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco. Domestic growth was further fuelled by new nonstop service to Peace River, Red Deer and Fort St. John and increased service to Halifax and Medicine Hat. A record increase of 13.4 percent in international traffic can be attributed to the success of Asian charters, increased scheduled services to "sun" destinations such as Cancun, Cuba, Hawaii and Jamaica, and charter services to Liberia (Costa Rica), Manzanillo (Mexico) and the Dominican Republic. “We are very happy with the continued growth of our passenger numbers”, said Julien DeSchutter, vice president of marketing at The Calgary Airport Authority. “We have surpassed targets for 2004, and we look forward to more record-breaking years.” The Calgary Airport Authority is a not-for-profit corporation responsible for the management, maintenance and development of Calgary International Airport and Springbank Airport under long-term lease from the Government of Canada. Calgary International Airport is currently Canada’s fourth busiest airport with over 9.1 million passengers in 2004.
