[London, United Kingdom] 18 September 2026
– Plaza Premium Group, the global leader in
360-degree airport hospitality and passenger service solutions, was awarded the
"World’s Best Airport Lounge Group" at the World Airline Awards by
Skytrax, often referred to as the "Oscars of the aviation industry”.
“Being named 'World's Best Airport Lounge Group' by
Skytrax is an incredible honour, and a proud new chapter in our tenth
consecutive year of recognition. When we pioneered the concept of the
independent airport lounge 28 years ago, our dream was to change how people
experience airport transit. This award is far more than a trophy, it reflects
the trust our travellers place in us and the dedication our teams bring to
their work every single day. First and foremost, we thank every traveller who
voted for us and chose us to be part of their journey. We are fully committed
to making your travel experience better with our airport hospitality. To our
team members around the world, thank you for your hard work and commitment to
delivering the best hospitality, day in and day out. We are also grateful to
Skytrax, and to our airport and business partners for their continued
recognition and support. From being the world's first, to being recognised as
the world's best for the tenth time, our mission remains the same: 'Together,
we make travel better,' said Mr. Song Hoi See, Founder and CEO of Plaza Premium
Group.
Edward Plaisted, CEO of Skytrax said: "We
congratulate Plaza Premium Group on winning the World's Best Airport Lounge
Group award for an incredible tenth consecutive year, which is a remarkable achievement
that the management and staff should be very proud of. For Plaza Premium Group
to have three of its lounges featured in the Top 10 independent lounges
worldwide is a very strong recognition from customers of the high quality
standards."
