Qatar Airways officially opened its new Premium Lounge in Singapore Changi Airport’s Terminal 1 on Wednesday (29 June).
Featuring a luxurious interior and enhanced offerings, the lounge aims to narrow the gap between business and first-class lounges. It will also serve as the blueprint for the airline’s future premium lounges worldwide in the future.
“We are thrilled to have launched our latest international Premium Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport. The lounge design is inspired by modern-day Arabic architecture, reflecting Qatar Airways’ heritage,” said Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways Group CEO in the company’s press release. “Qatar Airways has already set the industry benchmark for business travel with our award-winning Business Class seat, Qsuite. Now, we are redefining the new standard for business class lounges. We want to ensure that the onground experience offered to our passengers is on a par with our iconic five-star airline experience,” he added.
“As the first Qatar Airways lounge following this design concept, it will serve as a new standard for all our Premium Lounges going forward.”
With an area of about 700 square meters and an accommodation capacity of 85 passengers, the lounge is available to Qatar Airways Business Class passengers offering a comfortable environment with contemporary Arabic design elements. It features seven different seating areas including the Principal Lounge, Quiet Pods, Garden Bistro, High Seating, Martini Bar, Brasserie, and Private Lounge to accommodate different travelers’ needs.
The Premium Lounge is also equipped with a full kitchen for freshly prepared à la carte food orders on-demand, on top of an existing buffet spread offering an international menu. It also has facilities such as universal plug points, wireless chargers, and compartments for storing handbags and personal belongings.
Qatar Airways was recently announced as the “Airline of the Year” at the 2021 World Airline Awards, managed by the international air transport rating organization, Skytrax. The airline has also become the first global airline in the world to achieve the prestigious 5-Star COVID-19 Airline Safety Rating by the same rating organization. Aside from these recent awards, it was also named “World’s Best Business Class”, “World’s Best Business Class Airline Lounge”, “World’s Best Business Class Airline Seat”, “World’s Best Business Class Onboard Catering”, and “Best Airline in the Middle East”.
