Emirates has opened the doors to its new lounge at London Stansted Airport, a 900m² lounge that can accommodate up to 125 guests, including First and Business Class customers, as well as Emirates Skywards members.
An investment of more than four million pounds (US$5.33 million), the new lounge is Emirates’ sixth dedicated lounge in the UK. 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.
Located in Satellite 1, adjacent to the departure gates, customers can look forward to a spacious lounge with new furnishings and dedicated seating areas, as well as a wide food and beverage selection, complimentary Wi-Fi, shower facilities and amenities.
The Emirates lounge also offers customers a short walk for boarding access to the aircraft, with a short two- to three-minute walk to the aircraft.
In addition, the airline 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.
“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. The new lounge marks a major milestone for us as we now proudly offer dedicated lounge facilities across six airports in the UK,” said Mohammed Mattar, divisional senior vice president airport services, Emirates.
Gareth Powell, managing director at Stansted Airport, added: “The opening of Emirates’ new world-class lounge is fantastic news for London Stansted and passengers using Emirates services to Dubai and beyond… 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.”
