Air New Zealand has announced plans for a new flagship Koru Lounge at Auckland International Airport. The upcoming lounge will nearly double in size, featuring two separate areas: one for Airpoints Elite and Business Premier customers, and another for Airpoints Gold, Star Alliance Gold, Airpoints Silver, and Koru members.
Greg Foran, CEO of Air New Zealand, emphasized the customer-centric design of the lounges. "We've designed our new lounges around what our customers told us matters most - more space, more seating, and the ability to choose how they spend their time," Foran stated. The overall seating capacity across both lounges will increase by 70%, offering greater comfort and capacity for international travelers.
The lounge will feature diverse areas tailored to different traveler needs. "We know our customers value having spaces that are suited to their travel needs," Foran explained. These include quiet business areas, family-friendly spaces, and social zones.
