ORLANDO - October 1, 2015 - Airport Lounge Development Inc. (ALD), the
leading developer and operator of independent shared-use lounges in the
U.S., announced its newest lounge will land at Orlando International Airport
in November 2015. The Club at MCO marks ALD's 10th' shared-used lounge in
the U.S., 11th lounge globally, and further illustrates the company's
commitment to bringing the airport lounge experience to all travelers,
regardless of airline, class of service flown, or affinity membership.
The Club at MCO will be located at Airside 4, near Gate 91. The 8,000
square-foot, all-inclusive and hospitable lounge will be available to all
travelers, including business travelers and families, and offer a more
affordable option to experience the sanctuary and comfort of an airport
lounge. Priority Pass, Priority Pass Select and Lounge Club Members are all
welcome with their existing memberships. Those without memberships can
purchase day passes online or in the club for $35.
ALD operates the largest U.S. network of independent shared use lounges. It
introduced this lounge alternative to travelers in the U.S. in 2006, with
the opening of its first Club at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport,
and has since expanded its portfolio to 11 lounges. While independent
shared-use lounges have been a mainstay in international airports for years,
the growth of ALD's lounge network clearly demonstrates that U.S. airports
and travelers value this important addition to the overall airport
experience.
"As the leader of independent shared-use airport lounges in the U.S., our
global airport lounge portfolio has grown from 3 to 11 in the past two
years, with the addition of Orlando International Airport in November of
this year," said Nancy Knipp, senior vice president of ALD. "Airports across
the U.S. have an increased focus on improving the traveler experience and
growing non-aeronautical revenues. To achieve these important goals, airport
directors are turning to ALD to tap into our over 30 years of knowledge in
airline guest experience, hospitality and lounge management."
ALD's continued U.S. expansion and recent lounge opening at London's
Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 clearly demonstrates the growth and popularity
of the independent shared-use lounge product. In addition to growing its
portfolio of airport lounges by more than 200 percent in just two years, ALD
has experienced year-over-year guest volume growth of more than 60 percent.
As well as providing an airport lounge alternative for travelers, ALD
provides airport lounge services to 13 international and domestic

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
