With QR expanding so quickly, I feel that they could at least build a second lounge or expand the terminal and lounges. I can't help but think that there's so much wasted space at Al Safwa given how relatively few people it caters for these days.
The fabled North concourse lounges were designed to share the load. A while ago they were alleged to be nearly ready for opening & several of us reported this on Flyertalk.

Seems to have gone quiet though, maybe the blockade & QR's mounting losses have caused the delay.
