Emirates unveils new London Stansted airport lounge

The Gulf airline has invested more than £4 million to design the 900-square-metre lounge that can accommodate up to 125 guests, including First, Business Class and Emirates Skywards members.

This is Emirates’ sixth dedicated airport lounge in the UK, after facilities in London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Manchester.

All London airports served by Emirates now provide access to premium on-ground experiences ahead of their flight.

Emirates has its own network of 40 dedicated airport lounges around the world as well as complimentary chauffeur drive services for premium customers.

Mohammed Mattar, Divisional Senior Vice President Airport Services at Emirates said: “Emirates has been serving London Stansted since 2018, and the airport remains a very important gateway.”

It also marks a major milestone as we now offer dedicated lounge facilities across six airports in the UK.”

Gareth Powell, Managing Director at Stansted Airport, said: “The opening of Emirates’ new lounge is fantastic news for London Stansted and passengers using Emirates services to Dubai and beyond.”

The airline operates 14 weekly flights between London Stansted and Dubai.

Located in Satellite 1, adjacent to the departure gates, customers enjoy a food and beverage selection, complimentary Wi-Fi, and shower facilities and amenities.

The Stansted Emirates airport lounge is only a short walk for boarding access to the aircraft.

Emirates has partnered with Sussex-based Full Circles Farms, to roll out a “farm to table” food concept in its lounge.

Customers can enjoy premium spirits and liqueurs, a comprehensive wine list, and Moet & Chandon champagnes.

Emirates currently operates 133 weekly flights to the UK, including a double-daily Boeing 777 service to/from London Stansted.

The airline also serves the UK with flights to London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, and Edinburgh (starting from 4 November).
