Emirates has opened its new lounge at London Stansted Airport. The airline has invested more than £4 million to design a spacious 900sqm 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 facilities available at London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Manchester. All London airports served by Emirates now provide access to premium on-ground experiences for customers to unwind and enjoy elevated dining experiences ahead of their journeys.
“Emirates has been serving London Stansted since 2018, and the airport remains a very important gateway for our customers across the southern region of the UK,” said Mohammed Mattar, Divisional Senior Vice President Airport Services, Emirates. “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 an exceptional food & beverage selection, complimentary WiFi, and refreshing shower facilities and amenities.
“The opening of Emirates’ new world-class lounge is fantastic news for London Stansted and passengers using Emirates services to Dubai and beyond, and once again demonstrates the airline’s commitment to the airport and the wider region,” said Gareth Powell, Managing Director, Stansted Airport. “Offering an experience of luxury and comfort for the airline’s First and Business Class customers, its location in Satellite 1 boasts excellent views over the airport and allows boarding access to the aircraft directly from the lounge. 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.”
Emirates has partnered with Sussex-based Full Circles Farms, to roll out a ‘farm to table’ food concept in its lounge, offering customers seasonal menus with fresh, organic vegetables and local dishes. Customers can also enjoy premium spirits and liqueurs, a selection of wine, and a range of Moet & Chandon champagnes.
