“PPG’s presence in the MEA region is growing from strength to strength. Recently we celebrated the successful openings of our Plaza Premium Lounge Amman, Jordan, as well as two Root98 outlets in Jeddah,” revealed Plaza Premium Group Senior Vice President of EMEA Okan Kufeci.

Kufeci added, “Today’s announcement marks the fourth touchpoint for us in this vibrant region in the past 6 months, and we are honoured to be a partner with Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to offer a more comfortable way to await your flight in one of the fast-growing global tourism markets.”

Plaza Premium Group was established in Hong Kong in 1998 by Founder and CEO, Song Hoi-see, who felt that the airport lounge experience should not be limited to a closed-circuit group of travellers and introduced the world's first independent airport lounge concept.

It provides airport hospitality to top global airlines, alliances and corporates, including Cathay Pacific Airways, Singapore Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Air France, Star Alliance, SkyTeam, American Express, and Capital One.
