Dammam, Saudi Arabia - 20 July 2025: CATRION has officially inaugurated COZAYA Lounge at King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, under the patronage of His Excellency Abdullah Al-Duailej, President of the General Authority of Civil Aviation. This step comes as part of the company’s new strategy to redefine the airport hospitality experience in the Kingdom, in line with its modern approach, and builds on its longstanding expertise in managing airport lounges across Saudi Arabia.
COZAYA Lounge embodies CATRION’s vision for creating hospitality spaces that blend authenticity with elevated comfort, all while adhering to the highest standards of sustainability in both design and operations. The lounge introduces a refreshed concept for airport stopovers, one that enriches the passenger journey by offering a more interactive, engaging, and high-quality experience, moving beyond the conventional notion of a waiting space.
This opening is part of CATRION’s broader plan to redefine airport hospitality and expand its footprint in the travel and tourism sector across the Kingdom. COZAYA offers an integrated experience through a thoughtfully designed environment that fosters relaxation and serenity. It features a variety of zones for work, leisure, and dining, each supported by refined hospitality services that reflect Saudi identity through a global lens.
The initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objectives to develop the tourism ecosystem and enhance passenger wellbeing, with the aim of attracting over 330 million travellers annually. The lounge reflects CATRION’s guest-centric philosophy across design, operations, and service, delivering a uniquely modern expression of Saudi hospitality.
The launch of COZAYA Lounge, named after the word “Cozy,” symbolizing comfort and tranquillity, represents the first in a series of branded lounges that CATRION plans to roll out across key airports in the Kingdom. It is part of the company’s continued efforts to enhance domestic travel experiences and reinforce its leading national position in integrated hospitality services.
