Airport lounge and food and beverage operator, SSP Group, is expanding its airport lounge portfolio at two Kiching International Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport by assuming operations at six Malaysia Airport Holdings Berhad (MAHB) airport lounges.
Three of the six new lounges will be located at Kuala Lumpur’s Terminal 1 with SSP taking over operations of the International Airside Loyalty Lounge and two first and business lounges. At the airport’s Terminal 2, SSP will run the International Loyalty Lounge at Gate L as well as the Airside Loyatly Lounge in the satellite building. The portfolio expansion is completed with the addition of the Domestic Airside Loyalty Lounge at Kiching Airport.
The new businesses will be operated by SSP Malaysia, a joint venture between SSP Group and Travel Food Services (TFS), which also partners with SSP in India where it operates 20 lounges in major travel hubs throughout India, including the award-winning GVK lounge in Mumbai.
“This business win marks the beginning of an exciting expansion programme in Malaysia. Our detailed knowledge of this market and strong track record as operators, plus a phased investment plan aligned to the return of travellers mean that our lounge offerings will be perfectly aligned to the needs of our guests in each of these locations. We’re looking forward to working with MAHB on these exciting plans to provide a quality airport experience for travellers, while also increasing our presence in this important market.”
