Airport Dimensions has launched Sleepover, a rebranded form of its sleep concept that provides private sleeping spaces for travellers in airports. The product is already in use at Dubai International Airport, Hamad International Airport and Jorge Chávez International Airport, where the different versions of the sleeping areas have garnered positive feedback and high demand.
“Travellers want privacy and real rest in the hours between or before flights, without having to compromise,” said Andrew Van Eeden, Vice President, Global New Product & Innovations, Airport Dimensions. “Sleepover gives them that calm – in the terminal, on their terms – while giving airports a configurable, insight-led product that fits operational reality.”
Sleepover offers a range of pay-as-you-go modular pods and cabins, with add-ons such as showers, to address the needs of passengers during long-haul connections or irregular operations. The product responds to a recent Airport Dimensions survey that recorded 49 per cent of passengers desired sleep facilities at airports, while 95 per cent of airport executives deemed that terminal space could be used more effectively.
Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport recently introduced Flexisuites and Nap Pods, noting that passengers stayed for three to four hours on average.
“We saw the gap between the public concourse and premium spaces, especially around early flights and long connections,” commented Marinela Beke, Travel Retail Manager, Lima Airport. “Sleepover closes that gap with a pragmatic approach. Early adoption has been strong, feedback is positive, and it complements our existing offer by giving passengers a practical way to travel more comfortably.”
