BLUE GRASS AIRPORT OPENS A MOTHERS’ NURSING SUITE FOR PASSENGERS
Lexington, KY—May 11, 2023—In celebration of Mothers’ Day, Blue Grass Airport is opening a Mothers’ Nursing Suite as a new amenity in the airport terminal. Dedicated exclusively to nursing mothers, this suite provides a comfortable space for breastfeeding or pumping mothers while traveling with their families.
Conveniently located post-security in the Concourse B gate areas, this new suite includes two small rooms—one private space with a locked door and a larger room that includes a microwave, deep sink, full-length mirror, diaper changing station, well-placed electrical outlets and space for luggage. Both rooms include comfortable gliding and rocking chairs, and the aesthetics, lighting and decor in the suite are soothing and soft to provide a calm setting.
“The addition of this suite will provide a great experience for nursing mothers flying to/from Lexington,” said Eric Frankl, president & CEO of Blue Grass Airport. “We realize that it can be challenging for mothers when they travel, and we hope this new facility will ease that process and provide them with a comfortable and private location. This is our way of wishing our guests a happy Mother’s Day!”
This is the newest amenity Blue Grass Airport offers guests to ensure a smooth travel experience for everyone. For more information on all services and amenities available, visit bluegrassairport.com.

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technolgy works and its applications.
