In conjunction with partner Blue Sky Lounge, lounge operator Airport Dimensions has unveiled its newest lounge Blue Sky Premier Lounge at Makassar Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport in Indonesia.<\/p>\n

The opening is the first following a strategic investment<\/a> in Blue Sky Group\u2019s subsidiary PT Bumi Liputan Angkasa, announced in March.\u00a0The facility responds to the rise in passenger traffic at the airport, which now exceeds one million travellers per month.<\/p>\n

READ:\u00a0Airport Dimensions expands into Indonesia with Blue Sky Group stake<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Located within the domestic terminal next to security and minutes from the gate, the lounge offers\u00a0 500 square meters of space and seating for up to 137 guests. Unusually for a modern lounge, it also includes a smoking area, which has been equipped with a Honeywell air filtration system.<\/p>\n

Errol McGlothan, President of Airport Dimensions, EMEA & APAC commented: \u201c This opening represents not just the expansion of our lounge network, but the strength of collaboration between two industry leaders. We\u2019re proud to have partnered with Blue Sky Group, a market leader in airport hospitality in Indonesia, to bring this vision to life. Together, we\u2019ve 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
