A new destination, a new standard of comfort.
This August, Global Lounge Network proudly opens the doors to its newest VIP lounge at El Loa Airport (CJC) in Calama, Chile—a strategic step into one of Latin America’s most important business corridors. Located at the gateway to the Atacama Desert and Chile’s booming mining industry, this location blends premium service with local flavor, offering travelers a space to recharge, connect, and relax.
Why Calama?
Calama isn’t just another airport on the map—it’s a high-traffic hub for executives, engineers, and investors working in the mining and energy sectors, industries that fuel much of Chile’s economy. By entering this market, Global Lounge Network bridges a service gap for business and premium travelers seeking comfort in more remote yet commercially vital areas.
With the rise of hybrid work and increased mobility in resource industries, airports like Calama are seeing a surge in high-value passengers. This lounge is designed to meet their expectations—with modern design, curated amenities, and a tranquil space away from the terminal rush.
Designed for Global Travelers, Powered by Local Insight
Whether you’re flying to Santiago, Miami, or connecting through São Paulo, the new CJC lounge offers the same elevated experience found at Global Lounge Network locations around the world. From high-speed Wi-Fi and local cuisine to personalized service, this space is both a retreat and a reflection of Northern Chilean hospitality.
It’s not just for global travelers—this lounge caters to a growing class of Chilean professionals and domestic frequent flyers, aligning with new standards for comfort and experience across Latin America’s air travel ecosystem.
A Strategic Opportunity for Banks and Loyalty Programs
As Global Lounge Network expands its regional footprint, partnership opportunities are now open for banks, credit card issuers, and fintechs seeking to differentiate their offerings. The Calama location provides a unique value proposition:
- Serve affluent and high-value clients working in core industries.
- Enhance travel benefits portfolios with exclusive lounge access.
- Strengthen brand positioning in key regional markets.
In a competitive market, offering airport lounge access—especially in strategic business locations—can increase cardholder satisfaction, loyalty, and spend.
