At the opening ceremony, Turkish Airlines VP of Sales Far East & Oceania, Ümit Develi, remarked, “We are glad to open our largest overseas lounge at Tokyo’s Narita Airport, offering our guests a space that harmonises Turkish hospitality with Japanese elegance, symbolising over a century of close relations between our nations.

Turkish Airlines Lounge at Narita International Airport reflects our dedication to enhancing the travel experience and further strengthening our presence in the Asia-Pacific region.”

President & CEO of Narita International Airport Corporation, Akihiko Tamura, also praised the initiative, stating,

“We sincerely appreciate the establishment of the lounge at Narita Airport. Turkish Airlines has greatly contributed to the expansion of Narita Airport’s network, and we are truly honored that you have chosen Narita Airport as the location for your second lounge in Asia. With Turkish Airlines’ world-class route network connecting the entire globe, the opening of your lounge will enable us to provide even greater value to our passengers. We wish Turkish Airlines continued success and look forward to further enhancing Narita Airport’s capabilities while growing together in partnership.”

Designed with luxury and comfort in mind, the lounge offers a variety of upscale amenities aimed at elevating the passenger experience. Guests are treated to a buffet-style selection featuring Turkish, Japanese, and Far Eastern cuisines. A standout offering is the Turkish pide oven—unique among lounges outside Istanbul—that serves freshly baked pide during lunch and dinner. Additional amenities include dedicated relaxation areas, daybeds with views of the apron, a VIP room for added privacy, shower rooms, accessible restrooms, and a baby care room to ensure comprehensive passenger needs are met.

Connectivity is also a priority, with complimentary Wi-Fi, real-time flight information screens, and a dedicated workspace available for travelers. The lounge’s design is a testament to Turkish Airlines’ commitment to artistry and culture, featuring traditional Turkish marbling art and a nod to iconic local landmarks, including an entrance motif inspired by Mount Fuji.

With this new addition, Turkish Airlines now operates seven exclusive lounges at international airports around the globe, including locations in Nairobi, Moscow, Miami, Washington, Bangkok, and New York. Each lounge underscores the airline’s unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional service and the warm touch of Turkish hospitality, ensuring a seamless travel experience across its expansive global network.
