The year 2025 has been consolidated as a period of historic change for the Argentine aviation market. Since the flow of passengers does not stop growing, the infrastructure of the country’s main airports has had to adapt at a forced pace. From renovations to inland terminals to modernization of navigation systems, the focus has been on improving the travel experience. In this context the Jorge Newbery Airportthe heart of domestic air movement, could not be left behind and has just confirmed one of the works most requested by users.
Due to its strategic location and connections, the Aeroparque is in a permanent construction phase. The congestion of waiting rooms and the constant increase in frequencies are forcing operators to rethink every available square meter. In a recent presentation from Aeropuertos Argentina, expansion plans for the coming months were revealed, with news that brought immediate relief to frequent travelers: the creation of a huge new VIP lounge which will attempt to resolve current capacity issues.
Historically, the lounge at Aeroparque was a rare service. For decades, a lack of space in the shipping sector prevented development exclusive rest areasforcing passengers to settle for reduced seats or seats outside the security area. Although the opening of the Amae Lounge in early 2024 (near Gate 1) was a step forward, Argentine demand for these benefits – heavily driven by banking arrangements – quickly exceeded existing supply.
Aeroparque will have a new VIP lounge from 2026
The central innovation of the construction plan for 2026 is the use of a previously unused sector. According to the presented project, a room with a view of the street should be used on the same entry level. The new VIP lounge It will have an area of 730 square meters and Capacity for 280 seatswhich is a huge expansion compared to the current options.
Aeropuertos Argentina confirmed the work on a new VIP lounge at Aeroparque: it will open in 2026
The new VIP will be located next to the street-facing glass panel, in an area that currently connects the parking lot on Level 1 with the food court on the same floor. Since the location of security checkpoints was changed, this corridor has been virtually unusable for passenger flow. Renovation work on this room is now beginning, which includes not only the break room but also the break room new headquarters and a few business premises in addition to improving the gastronomic offer of the sector.
The decision is based on clear statistics: Argentinians (and residents) are the most intensive users of VIP lounges in the entire region. Using credit card benefits to access these spaces has caused the current spaces to become congested during peak periods. The aim of this new lounge is to provide domestic passengers with a more comfortable space with catering services, work areas and modern infrastructure in line with a world-class international airport.
New VIP at Aeroparque: working deadlines and what will happen to the international sector
Despite the urgency of passengers, the extent of the work will take some time. According to the official flight schedule of Aeropuertos Argentina, It is estimated that the new VIP lounge will be ready by October 2026. During this period, the affected sectors will be closed to the public, but it is expected that the minimal impact on blood circulationas these are areas that do not currently have a critical use for passenger boarding.
One of the most frequently asked questions by travelers is whether the international section of Aeroparque will also receive a new benefit of this kind. However, the authorities’ reaction was negative: There will be no VIP lounge in the international zone. The reason remains the same that affected the terminal for years: the absolute lack of physical space. The sector dedicated to flights abroad (especially to neighboring countries) operates at the limit of its capacity and does not allow the development of an area with these characteristics without affecting boarding gates or immigration controls.
Aeroparque VIP details:
- Area: 730 m2
- Capacity: 280 seats
- Location: Level 1, entry area (street view)
- Completion date: October 2026
- Affected sector: Level 1 corridor between parking lot and food court
With this new project, Aeroparque aims to consolidate its position as the most convenient airport for business travelers and domestic tourists. Although we still have a few months to wait before we can enjoy the new facilities, the announcement marks the end of a long wait for those who see the VIP passage as an essential ritual before every launch.
