Plaza Premium Group (PPG) has officially opened the Plaza Premium Lounge Domestic Adelaide – Australia’s only independent domestic lounge facility. Located in Domestic Departures, Plaza Premium Lounge Adelaide marks PPG’s inaugural presence in domestic terminals across Oceania, building on its robust international portfolio and longstanding commitment to enhancing airport experiences for every traveller. This new lounge is open to all guests, regardless of airline or travel class. PPG has built a significant presence in Australia’s major airports, operating six airport lounges across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Adelaide.
Song Hoi-See, Founder and CEO of PPG highlighted the group’s commitment to Australia’s ongoing growth in aviation and travel. “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. We are deeply committed to expanding premium, accessible lounge experiences, and Adelaide’s impressive aviation growth made it the natural choice for this launch. South Australia is witnessing remarkable demand for travel, with Adelaide Airport’s network of connections continually expanding. The return and addition of international routes, ranging from Christchurch and Auckland to Hong Kong and Bali, with more destinations such as San Francisco and Shanghai set to join soon, underline the state’s rising influence as a gateway to Australia. 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 Plaza Premium Lounge Domestic Adelaide is designed to reflect South Australia’s warmth and character. Natural textures, layered lighting, and a contemporary palette inspired by local landscapes create a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Guests will find flexible seating, dedicated workstations and high-speed Wi-Fi, all while enjoying a culinary experience that celebrates local flavours and seasonal ingredients.
Dining at Plaza Premium Lounge Domestic Adelaide celebrates South Australian provenance and seasonal ingredients. The all-day menu features an array of hot dishes, light snacks, artisan pastries, assorted breads, and a dedicated pancake station for breakfast, complemented by local spreads and signature Australian condiments, including Vegemite. The breakfast pizza lineup is led by the signature “Aussie Style” egg and bacon pizza — a local favourite that captures the heart of Australia’s café culture.
Adelaide Airport welcomed 8.73 million passengers in 2024/25 — an increase of 2.3% from the previous year — serving 17 airlines across more than 35 regional, domestic, and international routes. Its ongoing $600 million redevelopment project, known as Project Flight, is set to bring expanded check-in facilities, new aircraft parking positions, and extended terminals at both ends of the building.
“We’re delighted that Plaza Premium Group has chosen Adelaide Airport for its first domestic lounge in Australia,” said Brenton Cox, Adelaide Airport Managing Director. “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.”
Adelaide Airport, a key gateway for South Australia, now accommodates around 523 domestic and 53 international flights each week, and is on track to host 12 international carriers flying to 11 global destinations by year-end, bolstered by several new service launches announced in 2025.
