Australia’s only independent domestic lounge facility has officially opened, with the Plaza Premium Lounge Domestic Adelaide representing Plaza Premium Group‘s first domestic lounge in Oceania.
Song Hoi See, Founder and CEO of PPG, alongside Brenton Cox, Managing Director of Adelaide Airport, recently cut the ribbon to signify the official opening of the lounge in front of partners, supporters, key stakeholders and media.
The new lounge, located in Domestic Departures, builds on the Group’s strong international lounge portfolio and longstanding commitment to “enhancing airport experiences for every traveller”. It complements the brand’s established international lounge at Adelaide Airport.
PPG is opening the lounge to all guests, “regardless of airline or travel class,” aiming to deliver elevated hospitality that’s “accessible and appealing”.
“The debut of Australia’s first independent domestic airport lounge in Adelaide is a defining moment for Plaza Premium Group and for travellers across the country,” Hoi See said. “We are deeply committed to expanding premium, accessible lounge experiences, and Adelaide’s impressive aviation growth made it the natural choice for this launch.
“With the opening of our new Plaza Premium Lounge, our aim is to enhance the journey for every passenger—whether travelling for work, leisure, or returning home. It is a privilege to contribute to South Australia’s growth and its standing as a world-class destination.”
The lounge offers a contemporary design inspired by South Australia’s landscapes, providing “a calm and inviting retreat within the heart of the terminal.” Amenities include flexible seating, dedicated workstations, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a culinary experience celebrating local flavours and seasonal ingredients. Dining highlights include the “Aussie Style” egg and bacon breakfast pizza, seasonal hot dishes, artisan pastries, and Tatachilla House Wine from the McLaren Vale region.
“We’re delighted that Plaza Premium Group has chosen Adelaide Airport for its first domestic lounge in Australia,” Cox said. “We think it will attract a wide range of customers, from business travellers, families and those heading off on holidays, by offering a quiet and comfortable sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of a busy airport. It perfectly complements Plaza Premium’s international lounge, offering a seamless and connected experience for everyone.”
PPG will celebrate its 10th year in Australia in 2026.
