In conjunction with partner Blue Sky Lounge, lounge operator Airport Dimensions has unveiled its newest lounge Blue Sky Premier Lounge at Makassar Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport in Indonesia.

The opening is the first following a strategic investment in Blue Sky Group’s subsidiary PT Bumi Liputan Angkasa, announced in March. The facility responds to the rise in passenger traffic at the airport, which now exceeds one million travellers per month.

Located within the domestic terminal next to security and minutes from the gate, the lounge offers  500 square meters of space and seating for up to 137 guests. Unusually for a modern lounge, it also includes a smoking area, which has been equipped with a Honeywell air filtration system.

Errol McGlothan, President of Airport Dimensions, EMEA & APAC commented: “ This opening represents not just the expansion of our lounge network, but the strength of collaboration between two industry leaders. We’re proud to have partnered with Blue Sky Group, a market leader in airport hospitality in Indonesia, to bring this vision to life. Together, we’ve developed a space that meets the rising demand for tourism and premium travel in Indonesia, while setting a new standard for airport lounges in the region. We look forward to our partnership with Blue Sky going from strength to strength, as demonstrated by this exciting launch.”
