Cairo Worldwide Airport (CAI) has plans to enhance a few of its lounges, because of a brand new partnership with Plaza Premium.
Cairo Airport getting six Plaza Premium lounges
Plaza Premium Group, Egypt Aviation Companies, and Cairo Airport Firm, have introduced a strategic three way partnership, which can see Plaza Premium handle, function, and commercialize, six lounges throughout varied terminals at Cairo Airport. The lounges are progressively being rebranded with the title Plaza Premium Lounge by CAS and EAS.
The brand new three way partnership has taken over six lounges in Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Terminal 3, and the Seasonal Terminal. Moreover, a brand new lounge by the F Gates of Terminal 3 can be being developed. Observe that this settlement seemingly doesn’t embody the EgyptAir lounges, which can proceed to be operated independently.
This partnership marks the official entry of Plaza Premium into the Egyptian market. Plaza Premium is a quick rising lounge operator, with lounges throughout the globe. I discover that Plaza Premium lounges are among the many larger high quality contract lounges that you just’ll discover at any airport.
Right here’s how Okan Kufeci, Plaza Premium Group’s Senior VP of Europe, Center East, and Africa, described this:
“This unprecedented partnership with Egyptian Aviation Companies (EAS) and Cairo Airport Firm opens up thrilling alternatives for our first entry into the Egyptian market by means of this strategic partnership, bringing our international requirements and experience in delivering award-winning airport hospitality experiences to Cairo. We’re dedicated to our mission of creating journey higher for all passengers flying by means of Cairo Worldwide Airport with our portfolio of Plaza Premium Lounges.”
Right here’s what Normal Mohammed Kamel Moustafa, Chairman of Egypt Aviation Companies, needed to say:
“The alternatives arising from the journey and tourism business in Egypt is rising exponentially, pushed by elevated passenger visitors, new routes and expanded capability amongst main airways. We’re happy to collaborate with PPG in amplifying Egypt’s popularity as a world aviation hub by optimizing passenger experiences and providers within the a number of airport lounges throughout the Cairo Worldwide Airport.”
I take critical situation with this collaboration
Buddies, assist me perceive what’s happening right here. There should be a critical misunderstanding right here. I don’t know if you happen to’ve been to Cairo Airport, however it’s one of many most interesting airports on this planet. It has world class design, the friendliest and most effective service conceivable, wonderful temperature management, and among the finest airport lounges on the market.
I don’t know what these executives are speaking about. Making journey higher for passengers by means of Cairo Airport? Optimizing passenger expertise? How are you going to enhance what’s already mainly good?! Cairo is an almost four-star airport, so what’s subsequent, will the airport be an almost five-star airport?
For individuals who haven’t any clue what I’m speaking about, see right here, right here, and right here. 😉
In all honesty, I’m pleased to see Cairo Airport engaged on improving the passenger expertise. If solely stating the shortcomings weren’t mainly thought-about felony.
Backside line
Plaza Premium is taking on administration of six lounges at Cairo Airport, in an effort to enhance the choices, and ship a greater passenger experiences. I’m pleased to see this growth, since I believe Plaza Premium will do a greater job managing lounges than the earlier operators. Sadly, don’t anticipate any critiques of the lounges from me within the close to future…
What do you make of Plaza Premium taking on lounges at Cairo Airport?
