INDONESIA. Plaza Premium Group (PPG) and PT IAS Hospitality have joined forces to extend premium lounge access for travellers.

The move will connect PPG partner customers to 26 IASH lounges across Indonesia and IASH partner customers to over 100 PPG lounges globally.

A subsidiary of InJourney Aviation Services, PT IAS Hospitality specialises in premium airport hospitality solutions, operating executive lounges and inflight catering services at major Indonesian airports.

PPG’s extensive lounge network spans key global hubs, including Singapore Changi, Dubai International, London Heathrow, Toronto Pearson and Dallas Fort Worth.

As Indonesia’s largest airport lounge operator, IASH brings local expertise and a focus on Indonesian hospitality to this collaboration, enhancing PPG’s customer experience with premium facilities and service.

The partnership taps into growing tourism in one of Southeast Asia’s busiest markets, which recorded 15.39 million foreign visitors in 2025, with 17.6 million projected for 2026.

Plaza Premium’s lounge network serves Indonesia’s top outbound travel markets, including Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, China, Cambodia and Australia.
