INDONESIA. Airport Dimensions has entered the Indonesian market with the new 500sq m Blue Sky Premier Lounge in the domestic terminal at Makassar Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport. It can accommodate up to 137 guests.

Blue Sky Premier Lounge Makassar’s design is rooted in Indonesia’s rich heritage. It features locally crafted Batik motifs and design elements that echo Makassar’s history as a coastal port city; it was brought to life in close collaboration with local suppliers from concept to construction.
The lounge’s menu offers locally inspired dishes, with all-you-can-eat buffet-style dining, featuring Blue Sky’s signature Mantau recipe.
Each day, a rotating selection of regional favourites are available, including Coto Makassar, Pisang Ijo, I-ta Suki’s steamboat speciality noodles and other local delicacies.
