New Blue Sky Premier Lounge opens at Indonesian gateway

Building on a period of rapid growth that includes recent high-profile developments in Hong Kong, Jakarta, and Vietnam, Airport Dimensions today announced the official opening of the Blue Sky Premier Lounge in Terminal 2 at Indonesia’s Juanda International Airport.

Today’s opening in Surabaya follows the successful launch of the Blue Sky Premier Lounge at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta and success of the partnership in Makassar, where its lounge has achieved more than 3,000 five-star Google reviews since opening last August.

Spanning 462 square metres and accommodating up to 101 guests, the new Surabaya lounge is described as “a sophisticated sanctuary that draws inspiration from Surabaya’s identity as the City of Heroes”.

Its design is said to seamlessly blend Western influences, characterised by warm woods and muted heritage tones, with the elegant textures of Indonesian tradition, including framed batik that pays homage to the resilience of Kota Pahlawan.

The culinary offering further anchors a strong sense of place, balancing local with international appeal.

According to Airport Dimensions, social spaces within the new lounge such as ‘The Hub’ are designed to form the heart of the experience, offering a wide mix of seating configurations  to accommodate solo travellers, small groups, and families alike.

These flexible seating zones, it says, flow naturally into the food and beverage area, encouraging guests to dine, connect, or simply unwind in a lively yet comfortable setting. It is complemented by quieter areas such as ‘The Study’ for focused work or private moments.

Errol McGlothan, president of Airport Dimensions, EMEA & APAC, enthused: “Aviation across Southeast Asia is growing rapidly, with secondary cities like Surabaya playing an increasingly important role in international connectivity.

“That growth brings a diverse mix of travellers – from early regional departures to long-haul connections, business passengers and families – placing new demands on airport experience.

“Through our work across Indonesia and the wider Asia-Pacific region, we have seen first-hand how expectations are evolving: people want space to reset, quality food, areas to work, and environments that support every type of journey.

“This lounge reflects that understanding, responding to how people travel today while delivering the consistent global standards international passengers expect.”
