American Airlines will introduce a quick-serve lounge in Charlotte
American Airlines will introduce a quick-service lounge, Provisions by Admirals Club, with the first opening planned for Charlotte Douglas International Airport late this summer.
Provisions by Admirals Club will be geared toward travelers in a hurry. The space, to be located in the airport's Concourse A, will offer a variety of sandwiches, salads, snacks and fruit.
The space will be laid out with high-top standing tables and minimal furniture to facilitate quick visits and accommodate high-volume traffic.
American said Provisions staff will assist customers just like they do in the Admirals Club. The quick-serve lounge will be open to flyers under the same rules as standard Admirals Clubs.
American's plan to open the new quick-stop lounge is the latest in a string of customer-facing initiatives this year.
The quick-serve trend
American Express also announced Tuesday that it would introduce a quick-stop lounge, called Sidecar by the Centurion Lounge. The concept will debut in Las Vegas next year.
United was the first U.S. carrier to open lounges for flyers on the go. It debuted United Club Fly in Denver in 2022 and opened a second Club Fly at Houston Bush Intercontinental early this year.
