JAPAN. Leading airport hospitality company Plaza Premium Group (PPG) has debuted its first location in Japan. The 440sq m Plaza Premium Lounge Nagoya is situated in the international departures hall at Chubu Centrair International Airport.
Guests can enjoy a variety of international and Asian cuisine, and a selection of Japanese Sake, shochu and draught beer.
Plaza Premium Lounge Nagoya is open daily to all travellers and accepts walk-ins. All services are available for reservation on the Plaza Premium Lounge official website.
Guests can enjoy an opening offer of -10% off, while Smart Traveller members will get a year-round -20% discount off walk-in rates.
The lounge is also accessible to eligible passengers travelling with Singapore Airlines, Philippines Airlines and Air China, or holders of American Express and Dragon Pass.
Central Japan International Airport Co. Board Member Hidehisa Nagae said: “We are delighted to welcome the first Plaza Premium Lounge in Japan at Central Japan International Airport (Centrair). They have been highly recognised by customers for their excellent hospitality and facilities globally.
“We are looking forward to working as one with Plaza Premium Group to provide the best customer experience.”
Plaza Premium Group Regional General Manager – North Asia Jenny Zhang said: “We are so excited to be debuting in Japan. We are already seeing significant domestic air traffic growth in Q1 2023, indicating this country is full of commercialisation opportunities post-pandemic.”
She added: “Nagoya is a great city for PPG to enter Japan’s market, given its large population of up to 22 million people living in Central Japan and the high traffic in Centrair Airport.
“This will allow us to spread our mission to make travel better by creating a seamless and comfortable airport experience for millions of passengers transiting through or departing from Nagoya.”
Plaza Premium Group’s global airport lounge network now extends to over 250 locations across 70 international airports and 30 countries.
