Air Canada will open a redesigned Maple Leaf Lounge located in St. John’s International Airport’s new terminal East expansion area (YYT) this fall.

The new Maple Leaf Lounge will have 77% more square footage, 46 additional seats, and windows offering a panoramic view of iconic Signal Hill and a beautiful view of the ocean.

“We look forward to the opening of our redesigned Maple Leaf Lounge in the newly expanded Departures Lounge at St. John’s later this year which will offer our eligible customers an elevated airport experience, with a quiet place to relax or work before their flight,” said Benjamin Smith, Air Canada’s president, Airlines and chief operating officer. “Throughout the lounge, we’re proudly showcasing Canadian furnishings, local art and crafts that will reflect the charm of Newfoundland and Labrador’s landscape and people.”

The YYT Maple Leaf Lounge will be located in the newly expanded departures lounge. The new lounge expands to 332 sq. m. from 187 sq. m. and seats for 84 customers. Other new amenities include washrooms, a Samsung TV zone and a self-serve bistro and bar with an elevated food and beverage offering.
