About Us Hello! Welcome to Plaza Premium Group, we're people passionate about "Making Travel Better". We are a global company with team members from all walks of life, together we are #PPGFamily, together we are building a legacy. You don't need to be from this industry, you do need to be passionate. We were established in HK in 1998 by someone who understood the value of an airport lounge and felt that the experience shouldn't just be limited to a closed-circuit group of travelers. Through the years we have worked incredibly hard to create an experience which is both accessible and quality. Almost 25 years later we now span four core business segments: airport lounges, airport terminal hotels, airport meet & greet services, and a range of airport dining concepts. In addition to our own brands, PPG provides airport hospitality solutions to leading airlines, alliances and corporates around the world. Here are a few names you might recognize: Cathay Pacific Airways, Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa etc. With the future of travel always in sight, we created Smart Traveler, a mobile-app rewards program underpinned by in-house technology. We are fast-moving and always evolving to drive our purpose of making travel better.
