Star Alliance to Open Lounge at Seoul's Incheon Airport
Star Alliance plans to take over an existing lounge at Seoul's Incheon International Airport after Asiana Airlines leaves the alliance later this year. The Asiana Airlines Business Lounge (West) in Incheon's Terminal 1 will transition into a Star Alliance lounge in the final quarter of 2026. Asiana is leaving Star Alliance on Dec. 16 following its acquisition and integration by Korean Air. Currently, eligible passengers flying with 14 Star Alliance carriers can use Asiana Airlines' lounges at Incheon, and the alliance said establishing its own branded lounge would ensure continued premium lounge access. The Incheon lounge will be Star Alliance's seventh lounge worldwide.
