VIP SAMSIC LOUNGES TO PAMPER TRAVELLERS

This first successful experience will be followed in November 2019 by the opening of our second VIP lounge at the Aimé Césaire Airport in Fort de France, Martinique.

Work has already begun and the final result promises to be spectacular. The priority for the renovations has been focused on optimising space to provide maximum comfort for its occupants. The lounge was designed by Mrs. Mira Spadijer, who notably directed the construction of our lounge in Pointe-à-Pitre. This new space, accessible to passengers of all airlines, will allow visitors to enjoy their last hours in Martinique in the best possible conditions.
 

This splendid private space, away from the hustle and bustle of the terminal, will offer a relaxation and business area that can accommodate up to 40 passengers. The area will be dedicated to the well-being of passengers and equipped with the latest technologies: connected tablets, unlimited and free WiFi, telephone charging sockets, large-screen TV with continuous information, etc.
 

The lounge, named "Eugène&Jimmy", pays tribute to the iconic pilot Mr. Eugène James Bullard who played a leading role during the First World War. He was one of the first African-American pilots to be posthumously promoted to the rank of second lieutenant. His missions in the air were accompanied by Jimmy, his flying companion, who was none other than a very affectionate little domestic monkey. He lived a long period of his life in Paris, becoming a musician and cabaret manager during the interwar years. A man committed to his homeland despite the racial discrimination that had been made against him.
 

Air Caraïbes and Air Belgium passengers will be the first to benefit from this premium service. It is an opportunity for these airlines to offer the best possible customer experience. Samsic Assistance is proud to enrich its offer of VIP services with, in particular, the reservation of VIP transport, assistance in the terminal and personalised baggage handling.
