Qantas lounge, News@CBR and Go Convenience open at Canberra Airport
The Qantas lounge and News@CBR reopen at Canberra Airport today and a new Go Convenience outlet will open on Friday this week within the airport terminal.
Richard Snow, Head of Property at Canberra Airport, said this was great news for those travelling to and from Canberra for business and leisure.
“Get back to travelling for business knowing that from today you can once again enjoy the Qantas lounge at Canberra Airport from 7am to 6:30pm five days a week and buy something to read, buy a gift, or travel essentials from News@CBR,” Mr Snow said.
“We have daily return flights from Canberra with over 100 flights a week to Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, and Brisbane, with more to come from Friday to Ballina (Byron Bay) and Adelaide—it’s a great time to take advantage of the Qantas lounge and all our retail options in the terminal. With the Queensland border opening on 10 July 2020 many want to escape north to the sunshine state or to flight direct to beautiful the Ballina-Byron Bay area.
“Go Convenience is another excellent Airport Retail Enterprises (ARE) inclusion at Canberra Airport terminal, as part of stage-two of our terminal upgrade, providing your last-minute needs for travel on arrival—even flowers—from 7:30am-2pm seven days. The new store offers news, books, travel essentials, and a licensed café space on the ground-floor in the arrivals hall.
“In stage-one of our upgrade we introduced City Hill Coffee (currently open 7 days) and News@CBR to the terminal.
“Now in stage-two we are excited to announce Go Convenience this week and that the much-anticipated Capital Brewing Bar will open in August. The best part is that we have even more retail offerings to come in 2021.”
John Chapman, CEO Airport Retail Enterprises, said he was delighted to be bringing Go Convenience, another high quality ARE experience, to Canberra Airport.
“Go Convenience is a store for everyone, especially the traveller who loves food, wine, coffee, and something good to read,” Mr Chapman said.
“Come to Canberra Airport’s arrivals hall and see what we have to offer—you might even pick up a high-quality gift from our local region, for when you reunite with friends, and family arriving in Canberra.”
