PPG continues to build on its legacy of excellence and to expand its footprint while prioritising
sustainability, digitalisation, and people. The company continues to evolve and create value for travelers, holding true to its core mission of “making travel better”.
The "Proudly Local" experience was recently introduced at Plaza Premium Lounge in six inaugural locations, including the award-winning Rome lounge and the Dubai lounge, which is also one of the
Top-
5 in the award category, as part of the "Your Destination Before Departure" campaign. The other locations include Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Nagoya, and Adelaide.
Song explained: “Travelers these days are increasingly driven by experiences, and we recognise the need to evolve along with them. With that in mind, Plaza Premium Lounge is now more than just a lounge; it transforms into an airport destination where passengers can eat, drink, work, and refresh before their flights, while immersed in the culture of that particular airport location.
Our wish is for travelers to find inspiration and establish deeper connections with a city through its food, art, and people. It demonstrates the 'culture' element of our brand promises, alongside comfort,
convenience, love, care, and value, we believe good hospitality will contribute to making the airport
journey a better part of flying.”
