Montreal, Canada / Paris, France — October 2025 — Despite Newark Liberty International Airport’s long-standing reputation for congestion and traveller frustration, a new partnership between IEG, a leader in lounge management technology, and La Compagnie, the all-business-class French boutique airline, is redefining what a premium travel experience can look like on the ground.
La Compagnie has selected IEG’s flagship software, AIMS, to manage operations at its brand-new Salon LOUNGE&CO, located in Terminal B of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), the airline’s primary U.S. gateway. This collaboration marks a major step forward in offering travellers a smoother, more serene experience, both operationally and emotionally, before their flight to Paris, Milan, or Nice.
A New Lounge Concept: LOUNGE&CO at Newark
Opened earlier this year, LOUNGE&CO embodies La Compagnie’s philosophy of comfort, calm, and connection.
As soon as check-in opens, passengers are invited to take a private elevator that transports them beyond security to this elegant relaxation space. Once inside, travellers can unwind with a drink at the bar or enjoy a seated dinner service before their overnight flight.
The lounge features a baggage drop area for peace of mind, as well as two private shower rooms, perfect for freshening up before takeoff. The design blends French sophistication with a cozy, boutique ambiance that reflects La Compagnie’s signature “100 % Confort, 100 % Zen” approach.
“Notre nouveau LOUNGE&CO a ouvert ses portes au Terminal B de l’aéroport de Newark. Dès l’ouverture de l’enregistrement pour vos vols à destination de Paris, Milan ou Nice, un ascenseur vous embarque vers cet espace de détente situé après les contrôles de sécurité. Avant votre vol, détendez-vous dans ce nouvel espace cosy en sirotant un verre au bar ou en dînant avant votre vol de nuit grâce au service à table. Pour garder l’esprit tranquille, une consigne à bagage est à votre disposition ainsi que deux salles de douche.” — La Compagnie
Technology Behind the Tranquillity: AIMS by IEG
AIMS is an all-in-one lounge management platform that supports every aspect of operations, from guest access and capacity management to resource allocation and performance analytics. Its deployment at LOUNGE&CO allows La Compagnie’s team to anticipate demand, streamline check-ins, and maintain consistent service quality throughout the passenger journey.
“Passengers today expect a seamless experience and lounges play a critical role in shaping that perception,” said Mike Di Corpo, CEO of IEG. “By integrating AIMS, La Compagnie gains the real-time insight needed to manage guest flow intelligently, deliver personalized service, and uphold the airline’s promise of comfort and calm — even in a busy hub like Newark.”
Redefining the Newark Experience
At an airport often associated with stress and delays, this collaboration offers travellers a new perspective. With AIMS powering operations behind the scenes, La Compagnie’s Newark lounge provides:
- Seamless access control and faster check-in
- Optimized crowd management for a peaceful environment
- Service personalization, enhancing the premium travel experience
- Operational transparency, with visibility into occupancy and flight schedules
We are pleased to partner with IEG to enhance our passengers’ travel experience, ensuring a consistent level of comfort and service from the lounge to the flight,” said Christian Vernet, CEO of La Compagnie.“
