Partnerships with key airports on lounge and transit airport hotel development
Apart from the collaboration with Guangdong Airport Authority, Plaza Premium Group has also recently signed up Intent for Business Cooperation agreements with various management groups of key China’s international airports including Shenzhen, Beijing, Qingdao and Zhengzhou on common-use, VIP airport lounge and airport transit hotel planning and development.
In particular, an innovative, strategic “expertise and resource sharing” collaboration model is being developed between Plaza Premium Group, Beijing Capital VIP Services Management Company and Qingdao International Airport Group to chart a new direction in developing a hospitable and efficient airport experience for the new Qingdao International Airport that is scheduled to open in 2019.
