Thailand-based The Coral Executive Lounge will open its first international location at Nagoya Chubu Airport on April 1, 2025, the lounge operator announced on October 3, 2024.

“The Coral Finest Business Class Lounge Nagoya” will be located after security and immigration in the airport’s Terminal 1. While the opening hours and access details have not been released yet, according to the statement, “We are open to welcoming all passengers, including those from various airlines, as well as members of Priority Pass, Dragon Pass, global banks, hotels, travel agencies, privilege cardholders, and more.”

At the time of opening in April, the lounge will cover approximately 271 square meters. However, it is expected to be expanded to cover approximately triple that area, 816 square meters, by January 2026. “The Coral Lounge’s upcoming branch will draw inspiration from Aichi, renowned as one of Japan’s leading technological and economic hubs and for its stunning natural surroundings,” said the company.

The Coral Executive Lounge will be the second international lounge operator to open a lounge at Nagoya Chubu following Plaza Premium, which opened its lounge at the airport in May 2023. In addition to that, Korean Air’s KAL Lounge, a pair of airport-operated lounges, and a temporarily-closed JAL Sakura Lounge can be found airside in the international part of Chubu Airport’s Terminal 1. There are also multiple credit card lounges landside.
