"Western Australia is a key market for us and our continued investment in the state underscores our commitment to supporting visitation to Broome and providing exceptional experiences for our customers who are travelling through for business or leisure.”
The architecture of the lounge will be reflective of the surrounding Kimberley area to immerse passengers in the region’s natural landscape from the moment they step arrive, said the September 20 press release.
Rich, vibrant colours inspired by Dampier Peninsula, connecting Broome to the remote Kimberley coast, will be prominent throughout the design fit out including deep red hues from the James Price Point landscape, bright oranges representing the sand and soil at Roebuck Bay and blue tones drawing from Willie Creek.
The existing lounge will remain open throughout the redevelopment of the new Broome Regional Lounge, which is part of the Flying Kangaroo's $100 million investment to upgrade its global lounge network.
