Addition of Plaza Premium First, Plaza Premium Lounge, Aerotel and Allways plus Service Enhancement across 11 international airports.

“Years 2019 and 2020 mark a big leap forward for Plaza Premium Group and we are committed to serving over 16 million travellers by the end of 2020, a 10% increase compared to where we are now. In addition to expanding in the US, China and Indonesia as part of our USD100 million investment in coming years, we continue to strengthen our leading position in the existing markets by creating a holistic departure, transit and arrival experience,” said Song Hoi-see, Founder and CEO of Plaza Premium Group. “Our businesses have been going strong thanks to our airport, airline and corporate partners, and our valued guests. We give our heartfelt gratitude to a team of dedicated and passionate ‘Plaza’ family for making successes around the world.”
The Group’s leading brand Plaza Premium Lounge will open at Dubai International Airport in December 2019 to span across 1,260 square metres, the largest independent pay-per-use lounge at the airport’s Terminal 3. Scheduled to fully operate in the 2nd quarter of 2020, a mega lounge will open in Toronto Pearson International Airport’s International Departures occupying nearly 1,200 square metres as the largest independent pay-per-use lounge in Canada. Plaza Premium Lounge will be unveiled in Australia in the 1st quarter of 2020 at Sydney Airport’s Terminal 1 while the brand will debut in the US in 2020 with a domestic lounge and international lounge at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, and an international lounge at Denver International Airport. A nearly 3,000-square-metre lounge space combining Plaza Premium First, Plaza Premium Lounge and Allways will be built in Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to fully open in the 1st half of 2020. In its home town, Hong Kong and the birthplace of Plaza Premium Lounge, the brand will appear at two new locations this December and January respectively, and be transformed with uplifted experiences incorporating specialty offers and express services under one roof to suit modern travellers’ needs.
The development of its one-of-a-kind in-terminal airport hotel concept Aerotel has recently seen two strategic openings. Aerotel at Beijing Daxing International Airport represents the Group’s largest property amongst its portfolio and the largest in-terminal airport hotel in China. Aerotel London Heathrow at Terminal 3 Arrivals complements the Group’s award-winning Plaza Premium Lounge in Terminals 2, 3, 4 & 5 to serve departure, transit and arrival passengers. In the 3rd quarter of 2020, Aerotel will be launched in Sydney Airport as the only in-terminal airport hotel in Australia. To answer the increasing travellers’ demand in Kuala Lumpur, Aerotel is added with a select service extension and shared shower facilities.
The brand’s inaugural location, Aerotel Singapore is undergoing renovation of its outdoor swimming pool – the world’s first outdoor pool at the airport – planned to open end of 2019 with enhanced services.
As the world’s first airport meet and greet service available for all travellers, the Group is planning a thoughtful expansion to introduce Allways and the latest launch is at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, joining existing service points in Toronto, New Delhi, Macau, and porterage service in New York.
Launched in 1998, Plaza Premium Group will be operating in more than 175 locations across 47 international airports by 2020.
