Irene King: aviation commentator on Air New Zealand's plans to build a new luxury lounge - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Air New Zealand has confirmed it is looking into developing a new luxury lounge for frequent flyers.

The airline is staying tight-lipped about what these plans entail - but the idea was floated during a presentation for investors during their Investor Day late last year.

Aviation commentator Irene King says Air New Zealand's existing lounges tend to crowd out during peak times - and the airline might be looking to address that.
