End of an era at Juba Airport

Ladies and gentlemen, gone are the days that one can literally lounge in an airport lounge. Juba Airport took lounging seriously, filling the departure area with large, bulky, comfortable (albeit smelly and sticky) sofas accompanied with coffee tables (of course!) arranged around the one airconditioner and television set.

But this is no more.


Juba is a real international airport. In a real new country. Two out of the three baggage scanners work! (the other just gets in the way in the arrivals area... but that is another post for another day)



The lounge is now filled with practical seating for many. The television remains.

In other news, here are two interesting opposing views on pressure groups and South Sudanese independence from Reuters and Foreign Policy.
