Global airport lounge program Priority Pass this week announced it will add more than 150 new luxury airport lounges across the world in 2021, a 20 percent growth for the network.
Priority Pass has already added 32 new airport lounges this year – including Lufthansa Business lounges in John F. Kennedy International (JFK), Newark Liberty International (EWR) and Washington Dulles International (IAD) airports, and 14 lounges in China alone. Other new lounges have been added in Russia, Turkey, Egypt, and India.
The Priority Pass network is a mix of partnerships, as well as lounges owned by sister company, Airport Dimensions, both owned by Collinson Group. Earlier this month, Airport Dimensions announced new lounges at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) and Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) will open later this year.
These add to previously announced Airport Dimensions lounges under development in the new Harvey Milk Terminal at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH), which will be included in the Priority Pass network.
“Our investment in Priority Pass is a clear reflection of our confidence in the travel recovery, which our research has shown will also include an increased appetite for premium spaces and experiences while traveling,” said David Evans, Collinson Group joint CEO.
