Plaza Premium Group (PPG) has announced the launch of Plaza Petit, a new, child-focused space rolling out in select lounge locations. Designed to provide young travelers with a space to play, relax and read, the Plaza Petit space features activity sets, coloring books, collectible destination stickers,and a child-friendly menu as well as a curated story corner in partnership with global education non-profit Room to Read. Each Plaza Petit location will include a donation center for traveling families interested in supporting Room to Read’s childhood literacy and gender equality programming.
Plaza Petit will debut this month at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), London Gatwick Airport (LGW) and London Heathrow International Airport (LHR), with plans to expand across other international gateways.
“Plaza Petit reflects PPG’s ambition to transform airport hospitality through experiences that are both thoughtful and meaningful” said Mei Mei Song, PPG’s chief transformation officer. “We recognise that family travel comes with unique pressures, particularly when children are navigating an unfamiliar airport environment. By bringing together play, discovery, reading and family-friendly dining, Plaza Petit helps children feel engaged and at ease while enabling parents and caregivers to travel with greater confidence.”
“Every journey depends on the ability to read, whether following a departure sign or discovering a new world through a book,” added Dr. Geetha Murali, CEO of Room to Read. “Through Plaza Petit, we are helping children experience the joy of reading while inviting families to recognise literacy for what it truly is: a foundation for learning, navigating the world and opening a lifetime of possibility.”
