The addition of the new lounge raises the Emirates airport lounge toll to 23.
The airport lounge features a bar, seating area and large plasma screen TVs. It also includes a fully-equipped business center with independent work stations and complimentary broadband and wireless LAN access.
Mohammed Mattar, Emirates’ divisional senior VP for Airport Services, said, “Emirates Lounges together with other value-added services such as Emirates Chauffeur Drive, dedicated check-in counters and priority baggage handling, make it an integral part of our premium product.”
Emirates invests in developing its own exclusive lounge facilities for customers at airports outside of its home base. It has invested over DHS230 million ($63 million approx.) in expanding its lounge network worldwide.
Emirates has unveiled plans to introduce three more Emirates lounge to cater to its first and business class passengers and frequent flyers over the next 12 months, to be located at Manchester, Birmingham and Hamburg airports.
Including its newest in Johannesburg, the airline has opened four Emirates Lounges in quick succession since April this year, the other three in Dusseldorf, Mumbai and Beijing.
