Airport Dimensions has opened a new Blue Sky Premier Lounge at Makassar Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport in Indonesia, marking the company’s 17th lounge in the Asia-Pacific region.
The 500 square metre lounge has been established due to an increase in passenger traffic at the airport which now exceeds one million travellers per month. It is located next to security and close to the gate, and can accommodate up to 137 guests.
The lounge design encapsulates regional character, with locally crafted Batik moftifs to represent Makassar’s coastal identity. The menu offers locally inspired and locally sourced dishes, in addition to a coffee corner and a Healthy corner with cold-pressed juices. The facilities include Wi-Fi, showers, toilets, prayer rooms for men and women, a nursery, and for an additional fee, VIP private rooms.
“The launch of the Blue Sky Premier Lounge underscores Airport Dimensions’ commitment to expanding our footprint across Asia-Pacific and applying our global expertise to deliver premium travel experiences in one of the world’s fastest-growing aviation markets,” Errol McGlothan, President of Airport Dimensions, EMEA & APAC. “This opening represents not just the expansion of our lounge network, but the strength of collaboration between two industry leaders.
He continued: “We’re proud to have partnered with Blue Sky Group, a market leader in airport hospitality in Indonesia, to bring this vision to life. Together, we’ve developed a space that meets the rising demand for tourism and premium travel in Indonesia, while setting a new standard for airport lounges in the region. We look forward to our partnership with Blue Sky going from strength to strength, as demonstrated by this exciting launch.”
“We are excited to partner with Airport Dimensions to open the Blue Sky Premier Lounge at Makassar Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport,” commented Linan Kurniahu, CEO of Blue Sky Group. “This lounge combines world-class comfort with local culture, offering travellers a premium experience in one of Indonesia’s fastest-growing cities.
