HONG KONG. CHINA. Premium lounge brand Kyra, a partnership between Airport Dimensions, SSP and Travel Food Services (TFS), has expanded its footprint with a second space at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).
Open since 10 January and located in the Terminal 1 West Hall near Gate 40, the 1,200sq m lounge offers seating for 230 guests along with a variety of dining, relaxation and work-friendly areas.
The partners said the initial lounge, opened in summer 2024, had delivered a strong performance to date, with the latest opening “reflecting rising demand for enhanced airport hospitality across one of the world’s fastest-growing aviation markets”.

A premium food & beverage menu blends Hong Kong flavours with international classics, supported by a bar programme of exclusive craft signature cocktails and mocktails.
Each area of the lounge is designed to offer different energy levels, supporting moments of rest, recharge or focus, regardless of an individual’s time zone or itinerary. Through deliberate shifts in light, colour and texture, said the partners, “Kyra creates an intuitive environment that actively supports traveller wellbeing and influences how guests feel and move throughout their journey”.
The strong performance of the first Kyra Lounge reflects “the strength of the three-way partnership”, with Airport Dimensions, SSP and TFS working to create “a compelling, guest-focused airport experience, aligned with the expectations of today’s travellers”, a statement said.
With the second Kyra offering, the partners said they are building on that momentum. They noted that Airport Dimensions provides the overarching design and guest-experience vision; SSP brings culinary creativity and operational capability, with TFS contributing regional hospitality and operational excellence.
Airport Dimensions President EMEA & APAC Errol McGlothan said: “Having a second Kyra Lounge at Hong Kong International Airport within such a short timeframe is a milestone we are extremely proud of.
“It reflects not only the appetite from travellers for high-quality airport experiences, but also the strength of our partnership with SSP and TFS. APAC continues to be a major growth region for Airport Dimensions, and Hong Kong is a strategic hub where we see tremendous opportunity.
“With this new lounge, we are expanding our vision for Kyra and offering even more guests an experience that is both welcoming and distinctly reflective of the region.”
SSP Asia Pacific CEO Jonathan Robinson said: “We’re delighted to extend the Kyra experience at Hong Kong International Airport alongside Airport Dimensions and TFS. This second lounge represents an exciting next step in our shared ambition to elevate hospitality across the region.
“Our team has drawn on deep expertise in travel dining to create menus that balance global favourites with flavours that resonate locally, and we’re proud to contribute to a space that reflects the energy, diversity and expectations of today’s APAC travellers.”
Travel Food Services Managing Director & CEO Varun Kapur said: “The growth of the Kyra brand at HKIA is a testament to how effective collaboration can elevate the passenger experience.
“TFS is pleased to contribute its strong operational expertise in lounges to this next chapter, ensuring the new lounge delivers warm, attentive service and a high standard of hospitality. Alongside Airport Dimensions and SSP, we’re proud to be a part of the evolution of airport experiences across the region.”
