PLAZA Premium Group and China Eastern Airlines Corporation (CEA) has joined hands to operate what is said to be the world’s first co-branded airport lounge in Shanghai Pudong International Airport’s Terminal 2.
Launched on November 2 and named No.77 China Eastern Plaza Premium Lounge, the facility sits near Gate 77 and can be accessed by all travellers.
Offering a 180-degree view of the airport runway, the new lounge measures over 1,800m2 and provides nearly 500 seats. Facilities include a leisure area, all-day Chinese and Western style buffet, bar, five Internet workstations, a nursing room, three shower rooms, a relaxation area, a smoking room as well as complimentary Wi-Fi.
Song Hoi-see, founder and CEO of Plaza Premium Group, said the co-branded lounge was the result of a strategic partnership between the group and CEA.
Tang Bing, director and vice president of CEA and party member of China Eastern Air Holding Company, remarked that the lounge is the first market-oriented flagship airport lounge of CEA, specifically designed for passengers of its airline partners.
