Plaza Premium Group (PPG) announces a major expansion of its lounge operations at Helsinki Airport (HEL). The development transforms the existing Plaza Premium Lounge into two distinct lounge concepts—Plaza Premium Lounge Aurora and Plaza Premium Lounge Lumi—offering travellers greater choice, enhanced comfort and a more tailored airport experience.
Located in the non-Schengen area near Gate 40, the newly expanded lounge represents a major strategic milestone for PPG at Helsinki Airport.
Deeply inspired by the raw beauty of Finland’s changing seasons, the dual-concept space offers travellers an authentic Nordic atmosphere before departure. The names directly celebrate the country’s iconic landscapes: Lumi (Finnish for ‘snow’) evokes pristine, snow-draped winters, while Aurora draws inspiration from the vibrant Northern Lights. This connection to Finland’s natural heritage is woven throughout the interiors, brought to life through curated local artwork and thoughtful, nature-inspired design.
The development introduces two distinct lounge concepts tailored to different traveller profiles: Aurora, an elevated transformation of the existing lounge offering a more refined, premium experience, and Lumi, a brand-new lounge designed to be family-friendly and a haven of comfort. This launch builds on PPG’s recent momentum at Helsinki Airport, following the late-May opening of its premier dining concept, Bites & Plates, which seamlessly integrates with both spaces.
“We are excited to further expand our presence in Finland with the introduction of these two new lounge concepts at Helsinki Airport—Northern Europe’s premier transit hub connecting Europe and Asia. Building on the strong foundation we established when we entered the market in 2019, along with the recent opening of our new F&B concept Bites & Plates, we are able to provide more options tailored to the different needs of travellers. We look forward to continuing to redefine the airport experience with our award-winning hospitality and truly living our mission to make travel better.” Said Mario Binelli Mantelli, Vice President, Northern Europe & UK, Operations, Plaza Premium Group.
