The VIP Lounge is in the International Terminal at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, near Gate 2. It's the airport's SkyTeam-aligned lounge, open to SkyTeam Elite Plus members and passengers travelling in Business or First Class. The space is designed as a quiet retreat from the terminal, with modern furnishings and African-influenced decor accents, warm lighting and a muted beige-and-brown palette.
