India's largest aero lounge to open at Cochin Airport

Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) is all set to offer a world-class airport experience at budget rates. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will inaugurate CIAL's new venture, 0484 Aero Lounge, on  September 1 .

Based on the innovative concept of 'affordable luxury', the 0484 Aero Lounge provides a premium airport experience at hourly rates.

Situated outside the Security Hold Areas, adjacent to both the domestic and international terminals, and near the business jet terminal T2, the lounge is open to both passengers and visitors.

A name with a difference

Named after Ernakulam’s STD code, 0484 Aero Lounge blends Kerala's unique beauty—its tradition, art, backwaters, and flora—into contemporary aesthetics and budget-friendly accommodations.

Spanning 50,000 square feet, it offers 37 rooms, 4 suites, 3 boardrooms, 2 conference halls, a co-working space, gym, spa, library, an exclusive café lounge, and a restaurant, creating an experience of self-contained luxury.

“CIAL is committed to delivering a world-class experience for all passengers. As part of our ongoing expansion, three of the seven mega-projects inaugurated by the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Kerala on 2 October 2023 are already operational. Now, we proudly launch the fourth: the 0484 Aero Lounge. This lounge introduces ‘The Art of Affordable Luxury’, making premium airport lounge experiences accessible to all passengers at Cochin Airport," said S. Suhas IAS, Managing Director of CIAL. 

"With further enhancements such as expanding the international terminal, adding more lounges, developing a vibrant food court, and upgrading restrooms to the highest standards, CIAL continues to set new benchmarks in airport luxury, convenience, safety, and hygiene. The 0484 Aero Lounge marks a significant milestone in our commitment to elevating passenger services,” S. Suhas added.

Ministers P. Rajeev, K. Rajan, Leader of Opposition V. D. Satheesan, MPs Benny Behanan, Hiby Eden, Jeby Mather, MLAs Anwar Sadath, Roji M. John, and CIAL Directors Yusuffali M. A., E. K.
