There are four different areas for an audience of high purchasing power, says GRU Airport, the concessionaire managing the airport. At 600 square meters, a passenger can make use of showers, meeting room, desk, internet access and bistro, among other services.

A spa with massage and manicure are within the services to be offered at an extra cost.
