Plaza Premium has expanded its already
considerable portfolio of airport lounges around the world with the opening
of a lounge at Edinburgh Airport (EDI), the group's first
in Scotland.
Serving approximately 15 million travellers
annually, EDI is the busiest airport in Scotland and the sixth
busiest in the UK.
The lounge features Plaza Premium’s first gin bar,
created in collaboration with Edinburgh
Gin, part of Ian Macleod Distillers’ family of brands and one a
leading pioneer in the booming flavoured gin market.
Plaza Premium Lounge at Edinburgh Airport (EDI) in Scotland
Spanning 670 sqm, the
Plaza Premium Lounge in Edinburgh Airport can accommodate up to 165 people. Subtle
Scottish elements have been woven into the interior design, from
tartan upholstery to carefully selected local artwork referencing
a few of the many Scottish landmarks and iconic imagery.
In addition to multiple zones,
the lounge caters to travellers with children in an “Interactive
Area”. The family-friendly section provides shuffleboard,
foosball and large screens showing live sports and
entertainment. Interactive wall games and a small climbing wall
will also keep children entertained and occupied while they
wait for flights.
“We know there is a pent-up demand for travel
as people optimistically eye the beginning of the end of the
pandemic. There is an overwhelming desire to reunite with family
and friends, take that well earned holiday, or reconnect with
clients and we are confident that 2022 will be a key year in
travel’s recovery,” said Gail Taylor, Director of Retail and
Property at Edinburgh Airport. “We want to be able to offer them
the opportunity to get their trip off to the perfect start by
relaxing in one of our lounges, which is why we are excited to be
welcoming Plaza Premium Group to Edinburgh Airport – its first
Scottish location.”
The
lounge, Plaza Premium’s third in the UK, is open daily to all travellers regardless of airline or
class of travel, and without pre-booking.
