LATAM to Build Latin America’s largest VIP Lounge at São Paulo-Guarulhos Airport
LATAM Airlines Brazil and São Paulo-Guarulhos Airport have received approval from the National Civil Aviation Secretariat (SAC) to build the new LATAM Lounge. With an investment of R$115 million, the airline aims to enhance the travel experience for its passengers with a 4,700-square-meter VIP lounge in Terminal 3 of São Paulo’s main airport. The construction is scheduled to begin in April 2025.
This new lounge will strengthen LATAM’s presence in one of its main hubs in Latin America and will become the largest VIP lounge in the region.
An Innovative and Sustainable Design
The LATAM Lounge São Paulo will follow the concept introduced by the airline in Santiago, Chile, in 2022, featuring a modern design that integrates the culture, gastronomy, and hospitality of the host country. Additionally, it will have a strong commitment to talent development and the use of raw materials from South America.
In line with this strategy, LATAM also plans to open new lounges in Lima (Peru) and Miami (United States) in the coming years.
An Exclusive Space for Premium Passengers
LATAM lounges are available to customers of the LATAM Pass program in the Black Signature, Black, and Platinum categories, as well as to passengers with international tickets in the Premium cabin.
