European aviation services provider Omni Handling has opened a new FBO at Faro Airport in southern Portugal. The 150-square-meter (1,614-sq-ft) terminal, which was completed on time by the country’s Mood 4 Wood design team despite Covid restrictions, features a passenger lounge, crew rest area, fully-equipped kitchen, ensuite private bathroom, outdoor terrace, and a virtual golf simulator in a dedicated area that can double as a movie theater. Movart Gallery, which specializes in contemporary African art, was selected to decorate the facility.

“Faro is where our activity has been growing most these past two years, and it was only logical to invest here in a luxurious new FBO to the benefit of our trusted clients," said company CEO Ricardo Pereira.

The debut of this location, ahead of this week’s Formula 1 Portuguese Grand Prix, follows the company’s opening of two other lounges in Cascais and Madiera earlier this year.
