Emirates opens new First and Business Class lounge
Emirates has opened its doors to a new lounge at London Stansted. The airline has invested more than £4 million to design a spacious 900-square-metre lounge that can accommodate up to 125 guests, including First and Business Class customers, as well as Emirates Skywards members.
The new lounge is Emirates’ sixth dedicated lounge in the UK, complementing the airline’s world-class facilities available in London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Manchester.
Gareth Powell, London Stansted’s Managing Director, said:
"The opening of Emirates’ new world-class lounge is fantastic news for London Stansted and demonstrates the airline's commitment to the airport and the wider region. Located in Satellite 1, the lounge boasts one of the best views on the airport and will provide an experience of luxury and comfort for the airline’s First and Business Class customers. The 14 weekly flights between London Stansted and Dubai have been extremely popular with travellers since day one, not just to the Middle East, but right across the globe thanks to the airline's huge worldwide route network.”
Mohammed Mattar, Divisional Senior Vice President Airport Services at Emirates said:
“Emirates has been serving Stansted since 2018, and the airport remains a very important gateway for our customers across the southern region of the UK. The new lounge is a testament to our brand promise of always flying customers better – in the air and on-ground. And it also marks a major milestone for us as we now proudly offer dedicated lounge facilities across six airports in the UK – underscoring our ongoing commitment to one of the most important markets in our network. We look forward to taking the premium travel experience to new heights and to offering customers a chance to unwind and dine with Emirates’ renowned signature hospitality.
Located in Satellite 1, adjacent to the departure gates – customers can look forward to a spacious lounge with new furnishings and dedicated seating areas to dine and unwind in before a flight. Customers will also enjoy a wide food and beverage selection, complimentary Wi-Fi, and shower facilities and amenities.
It also offers customers a short walk for boarding access to the aircraft, with a short 2–3-minute walk to the aircraft.
Emirates has partnered with Sussex-based Full Circles Farms, to roll out a “farm to table” food concept in its lounge, offering customers seasonal meus with fresh, organic vegetables and exquisite local dishes. Customers can also enjoy premium spirits and liqueurs, a selection of excellent wine, and a range of the finest Moet & Chandon champagnes.
Emirates has been facilitating tourism and trade in the UK since 1987. The airline currently operates 133 weekly flights to the country, including a double-daily Boeing 777 service to/from London Stansted.
Emirates’ extensive network of over 140 destinations offers customers access to an array of onward connections to Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, Africa and Australasia.
