Some of the IMF/World Bank delegates arriving in Singapore will
be among the first to get a taste of the new $10 million luxury
terminal at Changi Airport.
Zero waiting time is what the Luxury Terminal JetQuay at Changi
Airport claims to offer to departing passengers.
Their luggage and check-in will be handled by the service staff
while the guests are whisked away to the lounge where they can
enjoy fine dining, surf the Net, go for a run or catch a nap.
The luxury terminal also offers 4 private meeting rooms.
Membership will cost individuals an annual fee of $1,000 over and
above a membership application fee of $1,000.
Other charges apply for corporations or small, medium
enterprises.
More charges will apply when one utilises its services.
With an extra $1,000, members could get the VVIP treatment - that
is to be ferried to your plane in the luxury of a limousine.
The limousine ride will cost non-members $2,000.
Another but less luxurious option is the JetQuay electric cart,
which will ferry members to the departure gate at $250.
The price is $500 for non-members.
JetQuay is the first luxury terminal in Asia and its investors say
that Germany is the only other place in the world that has such
specialised luxury terminals.
JetQuay is a joint venture between local air cargo handler
Worldwide Flight Services, VIP club operator Superior Travellers
Services, and logistics company Sembawang Kimtrans.
Jeff Bent, Worldwide Flight Services' Director, said: "I think
Singapore is a very good market to open a luxury terminal. It is a
centre for private banking in Asia and there are a lot of high net
worth individuals here. We expect to have over 50 customers per day
by the end of the year, over 100 customers a day in the second and
third years." - CNA/ir
