Virgin Atlantic has this week reopened its Clubhouse at New York JFK Airport after an 18-month pause under a new partnership with Plaza Premium Group.

Plaza Premium Lounge, in partnership with airline and airport partners, has this week begun reopening select locations globally. The reboot aims to “help alleviate the stresses of travel by offering travellers a safe place to relax” ahead of their journey, the company said.

Plaza Premium Group has expanded its presence in the Middle East with the launch of a new 1,260-square-metre facility at Terminal 3, Dubai International Airport.  The Plaza Premium Lounge Dubai has a capacity of 300 guests and offers special features including private family suites, a playroom, “first-class” enclosed napping space and a cigar lounge.

Airport hospitality services heavyweight Plaza Premium Group (PPG) has its sites firmly set on the North American market for its lounge operation, with New York JFK and major gateways in California to be introduced, LATTE can exclusively reveal.

Airport lounge operator Plaza Premium Group has earmarked a 1H 2020 opening of a new hotel to be set within Sydney International Airport. The boutique property will be operated under Plaza Premium’s Aerotel brand and will target inbound international passengers coming off long-haul flights.

Plaza Premium First is the world’s first airport lounge to transform the lounge space into an art gallery at Hong Kong International Airport.
