AKL International Koru Lounge Replacement- Any Updates?

[Mondo]

Has there been any more update on the new lounge at AKL? Last reports were that it was due to open this month. It is meant to be a totally new lounge in a different location of the terminal.

AusBT had a Q&A on this yesterday that I saw; apparently opening 29th September (per AirNZ tweet) with media launch a few days prior (per David from AusBT).

Can confirm this, Air NZ tweeted me the 29th release date a few days ago. Fingers crossed it looks something like LAX or SYD...

Does anyone know what will replace the current Koru lounge once it moves to another part of the airport? Maybe Emirates will move there for more space.

I thought I heard that QF were taking it. But don't quote me on that.

AusBT has published some information and photos of the new lounge, due to open on Tuesday as advised in earlier posts;

I tried the new lounge a few days ago. A big improvement on the old lounge.
