Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Jetex’s new 5,000-sq-m, three-floor iGA Terminal expands the VIP premium-processing footprint at a major hub, adding dedicated passenger services (including an a la carte restaurant and wellness facilities).
  • The “world’s largest VIP terminal” positioning and Jetex’s rollout to its 40th location underscore how airport real estate is being monetized through branded private-travel experiences, as seen in other private-terminal redevelopments like Changi’s CIP-to-private hub plan.
  • For airport and FBO/terminal operators, the project highlights a continued shift toward parallel, high-touch journey models—similar in concept to premium terminal ecosystems such as Terminal BTG Pactual in São Paulo.
