About us:
Founded in HK in 1998, we envisioned that airport lounges should be accessible and of high quality. Now, nearly 26 years later, we operate in four core segments: airport lounges, terminal hotels, meet & greet services, and dining concepts, serving major airlines and partners globally, including Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, and Lufthansa.
We launched Smart Traveller, a mobile rewards app powered by in-house technology, reflecting our commitment to evolving and enhancing the travel experience.
