Emirates Lounge Investment Tops Dh230 Million
DUBAI - Emirates has launched its first airport lounge in Africa at the OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, bringing the total number of lounges the airline has established across its network, for the exclusive use of its customers, to 23.
The Dubai-based airline has also unveiled plans to introduce three more Emirates Lounges to cater for its First and Business Class passengers and frequent flyers over the next 12 months, to be located at Manchester, Birmingham and Hamburg airports. “Emirates Lounges continue to provide a luxurious sanctuary and unbeatable service to our cherished customers. Together with other value-added services such as Emirates Chauffeur Drive, dedicated check-in counters and priority baggage handling, the Emirates Lounge is an integral part of our premium product,” said Mohammed Mattar, Emirates’ Divisional Senior Vice-President for Airport Services. Emirates began developing dedicated lounges outside of its Dubai hub in 2004. Today, the airline’s 23 lounges can serve over 5,600 Emirates passengers at any one time, giving its premium customers the ability to wait for their flights in a comfortable environment.
To date, Emirates has invested over Dh230 million ($63m) in expanding its lounge network worldwide. Including its newest in Johannesburg, the airline has opened four Emirates Lounges since April this year, the other three in Dusseldorf, Mumbai and Beijing.
