wonderland. From the moment the ribbon was cut, the terminal came alive with
the warm glow of thousands of twinkling Christmas lights. Guests marveled as
the once-familiar terminal was reimagined into a festive haven, complete with
stunning ornaments, towering Christmas trees, and breathtaking installations

Flash mobs thrilled audiences in the departure lounge, seamlessly blending into the excitement with spontaneous dance routines, while renowned comedian Kenny Black added a dose of laughter, rounding out a perfect evening that set the tone for the celebrations ahead.
