The Benefits of a Kids Corner in Airports
Travelling with children can often be a challenging experience for families. Long waits, delays, and the general hustle and bustle of an airport can lead to restless and irritable kids. However, airports with dedicated kids corners are transforming this experience, turning travel time into enjoyable moments for families. At IKC, we are proud to have recently completed projects at Menorca Airport, Lodz Airport, and Flughafen Hannover-Langenhagen GmbH, along with many others, making travel more pleasant for families, other travellers and airport staff alike.
Creating a Family-Friendly Environment
One of the main advantages of having a kids corner in an airport is the creation of a family-friendly environment. Our installations at various airports have been specifically designed to cater to the needs of young travellers. Located at the departure gates, these kids corners are equipped with interactive play systems that keep children engaged and entertained while waiting for their flights.
Ana, a family traveller who recently used our kids corner at Menorca Airport, shared her experience: “I am thrilled with the service offered by the airport. My children can stay entertained while we wait for our flight. It makes the whole experience so much more pleasant for us all.”
Benefits for Airports
For airport authorities and staff, having a kids corner brings multiple benefits. Firstly, it reduces stress for parents, leading to a smoother and more efficient boarding process. Happy children mean happy parents, which in turn creates a more positive atmosphere within the terminal. This improvement in the passenger experience can enhance the overall reputation of the airport.
Furthermore, airports with kids corners can drive up sales in airport stores, restaurants, and other services. When children are entertained and occupied, parents have more freedom to explore retail and dining options without the pressure of keeping their children amused. This increased dwell time can lead to higher spending per passenger, benefiting the airport's commercial partners.
Moreover, airports with kids corners can market themselves as family-friendly destinations, attracting more family travellers and setting themselves apart from other airports. This added value can be a significant factor in a family's choice of airport, especially for frequent travellers.
Looking Ahead
We are proud of the successful installations at Menorca Airport, Lodz Airport, and Flughafen Hannover-Langenhagen GmbH, and are excited about our ongoing and upcoming projects to bring more kids corners to airports around the world. IKC is committed to enhancing the travel experience for families globally.
The addition of a kids corner in an airport not only improves the experience for young travellers and their families but also benefits airport operations and marketing. By providing a dedicated space for children to play and interact, airports can create a more pleasant, efficient, and family-friendly environment.
