Plaza Premium Group (PPG) has opened the Plaza Premium Lounge in international departures at Adelaide Airport (ADL), making its the first and only international lounge at the airport.
This is PPG’s fourth location in Australia.
With capacity for up to 137 people, the facility features PPG’s first specialty wine feature in collaboration with Accolade Wines, where award-winning Australian wines are showcased. This will be made available later in the month.
The sun-drenched lounge is divided into multiple zones – the bar, dining area, or cosy booths to catch up on work. Showers are available too.
With sustainability in mind, single-use plastics have been eliminated, LED lighting is used throughout, and energy-efficient appliances and water saving devices are installed.
Adelaide Airport’s managing director, Brenton Cox, said: “This is one of the final pieces of our A$200 million (US$134.8 million) terminal expansion project that has also seen a significant upgrade of our international arrivals and departures facilities including expanded duty free, more room for immigration processing and more baggage belts for arriving passengers.”
Ammar was previously senior director for international promotion division for Americas, Europe and Oceania.
