SINGAPORE, 20 April 2026: Korean Air officially completed a comprehensive 42-month infrastructure overhaul of its lounges at Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 with the unveiling of its renovated flagship First and Prestige Class West Lounges on 17 and 18 April, respectively.
Following a KRW110 billion investment, the airline has modernised its entire lounge network at Incheon, expanding it and more than doubling the airline’s total lounge capacity at the terminal, preparing for increased passenger volumes ahead of its planned integration with Asiana Airlines.
Designed around the concept of a “home away from home,” the new facilities prioritise passenger experience through enhanced dining and amenities.
The First Class Lounge, spanning 921 sqm — 2.3 times larger than the previous facility — has been reimagined to focus on ultimate privacy. The space is divided into an open hall and 11 private suites, allowing passengers to relax in a secluded environment before boarding.
The interior draws inspiration from traditional Korean architecture, utilising wood pillars, beams, and ramie (mosi) textures. Upon entry, passengers are guided to independent suites for a private pre-flight experience.
The Prestige Class West Lounge has gained capacity spanning 2,615 sqm with over 420 seats, making it the largest single lounge facility at Incheon International Airport.
