Opened in October 2024, the Extime VIP Lounge makes the dawn of a new era for Almaty International Airport. The club is situated in the Terminal 2, a new, state-of-the-art facility which stands in sharp contrast with the aging original terminal, and offers a wealth of services and amenities that were previously unthinkable at Almaty Airport.
The name “Extime” might ring a bell—the brand was conceived in partnership by TAV Operation Services, a global airport operations powerhouse, and Groupe ADP, the operator of Paris airports. Frequent travelers may have visited the two Extime Lounge locations at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal 1 and Terminal 2; the opening of the Extime Lounge Almaty marks the first time that the brand is exported beyond the French borders.
Spanning 1,160 square meters (over 12,000 square feet), the Extime VIP Lounge at Almaty Airport is divided into a general purpose business lounge and a more private VIP lounge for dignitaries, invited guests, and travelers who seek the ultimate privacy.
No matter which side you visit, you’ll find a space bathed in daylight sporting an elegant residential decor. There are power outlets at virtually every seat, plush seats, and spacious dining areas. The VIP side features private rooms outfitted with sofas and coffee tables—as well as a private entrance and car transfer to the aircraft.
The list of amenities is impressive. The Extime Lounge Almaty features a generous hot buffet with a live cooking station serving cooked-to-order meals, as well as a full bar. There’s also shower rooms for guests who wish to freshen up, a spa for those who’d like to pamper ahead of their flight, a business corner, a family room, and a smoking room.
