Plaza Premium Group is set to expand its global footprint and enhance products across 11 international airports – Beijing Daxing International Airport in China, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Denver International Airport in U.S.; Dubai International Airport in UAE; Heathrow in UK; Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Indonesia; Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia; Singapore Changi Airport; Sydney Airport in Australia; Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada; and Hong Kong International Airport in its home town.

“Years 2019 and 2020 mark a big leap forward for Plaza Premium Group and we are committed to serving over 16 million travelers by the end of 2020, a 10 percent increase compared to where we are now.  In addition to expanding in the U.S., China and Indonesia as part of our $100 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  to span across 1,260 square meters, 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 meters 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 U.S. 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-meter 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 travelers’ 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 travelers, 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.
