Encalm Hospitality is expanding its airport network with a new presence at Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport in Vizag, bringing its lounge and passenger-assistance businesses under one roof.
The company will operate two lounges—one each for domestic and international passengers—featuring live food counters, a bar, lounge bays and a private dining room.
Beyond the lounges, Encalm will introduce its Atithya Meet & Assist service and EnWrap baggage-wrapping facility, extending its offering across multiple points of the passenger journey.
Beyond the lounge
The expansion reflects a broader shift in airport hospitality, as operators look beyond standalone lounges towards a more integrated suite of passenger services.
For Encalm, Vizag adds another airport to a growing network built around lounge access, assisted travel and ancillary services.
Vikas Sharma, Group CEO, Encalm, said the expansion was aimed at making the airport experience “more comfortable and convenient”, while extending the company’s hospitality ecosystem to travellers in Vizag.
The move comes as India’s expanding aviation market creates greater demand for premium services on the ground. With passenger expectations moving beyond basic airport infrastructure, lounges, assisted travel and other hospitality-led services are becoming a more visible part of the airport proposition.
For Encalm, the Vizag launch is as much about network expansion as it is about positioning airport hospitality as an integrated business rather than a lounge-only offering.
