Turkish Airlines in partnership with Plaza Premium Group, proudly announces the opening of the new Turkish Airlines Lounge at Edinburgh Airport.
This lounge represents the inaugural Turkish Airlines CIP lounge in the United Kingdom and marks a significant milestone in the collaboration between Turkish Airlines and Plaza Premium Group. The opening further reinforces Turkish Airlines’ commitment to bringing its signature hospitality and award-winning service philosophy closer to travellers across key international markets.
The newly opened lounge will welcome Turkish Airlines Business Class passengers, Miles&Smiles members, Star Alliance carriers, and Plaza Premium’s long-standing partners, providing all guests with a seamless lounge experience fully aligned with Turkish Airlines’ global standards. The 673-square-meter lounge is thoughtfully designed to accommodate 149 guests, offering an enhanced experience in comfort and privacy. Drawing on Plaza Premium Group’s nine‑time Skytrax World’s Best Independent Airport Lounge award‑winning expertise in lounge operations, the lounge delivers a high standard of service for every guest. Anchored in Turkish Airlines’ long-standing focus on elevating the ground experience, the lounge reflects the carrier’s wider premium ecosystem — where comfort, cultural storytelling and thoughtful service come together before every flight. Guests are invited to experience the rich culinary heritage of Türkiye, where Central Asian, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Balkan influences come together. The menu presents a symphony of Halal-certified hot and cold delicacies, exquisite artisanal sweets, and a thoughtfully curated selection of refreshments. Traditional Turkish tea and coffee invite moments of calm reflection, celebrating the country’s rich cultural heritage amid the dynamic pace of travel. This culinary approach mirrors Turkish Airlines’ broader dedication to world-class dining and authentic cultural touches.
Designed with intention and care, the lounge is divided into distinctive zones that enhance every facet of the guest experience:
• Premium Seating Area offering privacy and comfort for business travellers.
• VIP Area creating a warm, welcoming ambience for all guests.
• Prayer Room complete with ablution facilities, fostering spiritual connection.
• Nursing Room ensuring convenience and comfort for families with infants.
The lounge is bathed in natural light and overlooking sweeping views of the Edinburgh runway and surrounding hills, transforming pre-flight moments into serene, inspiring experiences.
PPG was recently named the World’s Best Independent Airport Lounge Brand for the ninth consecutive year at the prestigious Skytrax World Airline Awards. As the world’s leading independent lounge operator, PPG operates in more than 600 airports across 150 countries, serving over 24 million passengers annually. This collaboration underscores Plaza Premium Group’s mission to expand its global lounge footprint while strengthening its partnership with leading airlines. For Turkish Airlines, this partnership strengthens the airline’s ground offering across international gateways, supporting a consistent journey from lounge to onboard. Both organisations look forward to future innovative ventures across international markets.
Speaking on behalf of Turkish Airlines, Akif Konar said: “The opening of our new Turkish Airlines Lounge at Edinburgh Airport marks an important milestone for our airline. As our first abroad lounge in Europe and our eighth outside of Türkiye, this investment demonstrates our deep commitment to our European operations where we already possess a strong presence as the best airline of the continent. Looking ahead, we will continue to build on our presence in the region and bringing our award-winning hospitality closer to travellers here.”
Bora Isbulan, Deputy CEO of Plaza Premium Group added: “The inauguration of the Turkish Airlines Lounge in Edinburgh is a milestone in our strategic partnership with Turkish Airlines. This lounge reflects our mutual dedication to elevating the passenger experience and setting new benchmarks for service excellence in the region. It also signals the beginning of a long-term collaboration focused on innovation and quality.”
Okan Küfeci, Senior Vice President EMEA, Plaza Premium Group, commented: “This lounge represents our vision of blending authentic Turkish hospitality with the highest international standards. We are proud to create a space that not only meets the expectations of our Business Class and Star Alliance passengers but also offers a memorable, serene experience for all travellers. Edinburgh is now home to a lounge that truly embodies the spirit of Turkish Airlines.”
