Air New Zealand is to design and manage the Star Alliance’s new lounge at Los Angeles International Airport as part of the US$1.7 billion redevelopment of the Tom Bradley International Terminal commissioned by Los Angeles Worldwide Airports.
It will be the first Star Alliance branded lounge to feature a new design concept, inspired by a contemporary interpretation of modernist LA architecture of the 1950s and 1960s and incorporate defined spaces to suit passenger needs ranging from social gatherings around the bar to quiet time in the library.
The new lounge is set to open in May 2013 and will replace the existing Star Alliance Lounge which was opened in 2007 as well as the Air New Zealand Koru Lounge in Terminal 2, as the airline will be relocating to the Tom Bradley International Terminal in early 2014.
Eight Star Alliance member carriers will operate out of the Tom Bradley International Terminal: Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, Swiss, Thai, and Turkish Airlines.
