The renovated departures lounge at Princess Juliana International Airport in St Maarten in the Caribbean is now open and forms part of the airport’s Capital Improvement Programme. A formal opening ceremony is scheduled for June 17, 2015.
“This is a very important moment for us as we are finally able to launch what began as our new retail strategy aimed at increasing the airport’s non-aeronautical revenues in accordance with the best practices all over the world,” Regine LaBega, SXM Airport’s managing director, told the Caribbean Journal.
“We have already been receiving congratulatory messages from passengers that have been using the departure area, with some stating that they were not only impressed but felt proud of their airport becoming a beautiful international gateway.”
