GERMANY. LSG Sky Chefs Lounge has been awarded a contract to manage Japan Airlines’ Sakura and First Class lounges at Frankfurt Airport Terminal 2.
The LSG Lounge team has developed a new gastronomic concept, including the accompanying equipment, as well as the design of the facility.
The company said special attention was paid to ensuring that Japanese culture and the airline’s international nature could both be clearly perceived by guests.
Development of the culinary concept was supported by Takugo Kobayashi, an LSG Sky Chefs expert Japanese chef, and his team. This ensured the authenticity of the dishes and their compliance with the strict requirements of Japanese cuisine, the company said.
“It is very important for us to understand the airline’s heritage and brand values and reflect them in our concept,” said LSG Lounge Director Operations & Projects Jean-Claude Dichtl.
LSG Sky Chefs Lounge and Japan Airlines have been working in partnership at New York John F. Kennedy International Airport since early 2018. “We are delighted to now be able to also offer Japan Airlines’ guests an excellent stay at the Frankfurt lounges,” said LSG Lounge Managing Director Carsten Oellerich.
LSG Lounge began managing the JAL lounges in Frankfurt in early February.
