Plaza Premium Group to open five lounges at Santiago airport in Chile

Plaza Premium Group will open five 24-hour lounges at Santiago de Chile Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, expanding into Chile for the first time. The lounges will be in Terminal 1’s airside domestic departures and arrivals area, with three due to open by the end of 2026 and the remaining two in the first quarter of 2027.

The rollout extends the operator’s Latin America footprint and adds a new premium passenger facility at one of the region’s busiest airports. One report places the combined capacity of the five lounges at about 539 seats, although access conditions and airline partnerships have not been disclosed in the available coverage.

The Terminal 1 lounges are designed to serve domestic travellers around the clock, a notable feature for an airport lounge operation in this market. The development follows a broader regional push by Plaza Premium Group as it continues to expand its lounge network beyond established hubs in North and South America.
