The 0484 Lounge at Cochin International Airport has completed 100 days of operations. Launched in October 2024 after its inauguration in September, the facility has seen roughly 4,000 room bookings and served about 7,000 guests during this period.
The lounge offers flexible tariff options of 8, 12, and 24 hours, which seems to appeal to travellers with layovers and overnight flights. It’s located in terminal 2, making it a convenient option for those seeking a short stay or a safe resting spot, especially during night hours. Many NRIs, business travellers, and passengers' companions have made use of the facility so far.
Managed by CIASL, a subsidiary of Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL), the lounge is not just about accommodation. Its conference hall and boardroom facilities have been used by corporate clients for meetings, potentially eliminating the need to travel into the city.
The venue has also hosted various events, including pre-wedding shoots and gatherings, while cafés and retail shops operate within the space.
