The highest-ranked Plaza Premium lounge in 2025 is at the Rome Fiumicino Airport, and the management and staff should be very proud of this high recognition from customers.”

A Commitment to Excellence

Song Hoi See, founder and CEO of the Plaza Premium Group, expressed gratitude for this monumental achievement. He noted, “Receiving this award for the ninth consecutive year is an absolute honor. We are deeply grateful to Skytrax, our airport and business partners, and our customers for their ongoing support. I am incredibly proud of our teams; this award is a testament to their hard work, passion, and unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional airport hospitality to travelers every day.”

Since launching the world’s first independent airport lounge concept 27 years ago, Plaza Premium Group has continually worked to enhance the airport experience with a passenger-centric approach.

An Eye Towards Innovation and Sustainability

The group remains focused on improving travel experiences through enhanced customer service, dedication to sustainability, and a spirit of innovation. Song further remarked, “Lounges are your destination before departure, and it’s vital to provide emotional connections through our offerings. That’s why we introduced the Proudly Local experience last year in our lounges, notably in 13 locations including our top-ranked lounges in Rome, London, and Dubai. This initiative connects global travelers with unique narratives and products from local artisans, transforming lounges into cultural gateways that reflect the essence of the communities they serve.”
