Plaza Premium Group unveils first Canadian lounge in Vancouver
Plaza Premium Group (PPG) has unveiled its new Canadian flagship lounge at Vancouver International Airport (YVR).
This milestone launch introduces the first-ever Plaza Premium First (PPF) in North America, alongside a reimagined Plaza Premium Lounge (PPL), delivering a dual-concept facility that caters to a variety of traveller needs—from luxury seekers to business travellers and families.
PPG’s newly reimagined and integrated concept, combining PPL and PPF, is the third of its kind worldwide, following successful launches at Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta Airport in December 2022 and Kuala Lumpur International Airport in March 2023. With additional locations at Hong Kong International Airport and Macau International Airport, PPF now operates five exclusive lounges worldwide.
“The launch of our new flagship lounge at Vancouver International Airport marks a significant milestone for Plaza Premium Group,” said Pascal Bélanger, Senior Vice President of the Americas at Plaza Premium Group. “We are thrilled to introduce Plaza Premium First to North America, offering travellers an unparalleled level of luxury and personalized service that sets a new standard in airport hospitality. As we expand our presence across the Americas, our vision remains clear: to enhance the airport experience for travellers worldwide. This new lounge at YVR embodies that vision, seamlessly blending innovation, luxury, and personalized service to redefine what an airport lounge can be.”
