Emirates has doubled its regional lounge
offering in the UK within the space of just six months. A brand
new luxury lounge has been officially opened in Birmingham.
First Class and Business Class passengers, plus
Gold Skywards members, travelling on Emirates’ twice-daily service
from Dubai to Birmingham can now seek sanctuary in the 7,000
square foot facility. It is situated opposite the airline’s
departure gate (number 54) in the new international pier in
Terminal 1.
The Emirates Lounge offers luxury leather seating for up to 117 people, plasma
TVs showing the latest news, a business centre with complimentary
internet access and full shower facilities.
Guests to the lounge can also enjoy an extensive
menu of complimentary hot and cold gourmet dishes accompanied by a full bar service - all supported by
a team of dedicated lounge staff.
Mohammed Mattar, Emirates’ Divisional Senior
Vice President, Airport Services, who officially opened the
lounge, said, “This significant investment to our operation at
Birmingham further highlights our commitment to the region and the
importance of our twice-daily service to the Midlands. We hope our
premium customers will enjoy this new facility next time they fly
with us and look forward to experiencing our trademark attentive
service for which we are renowned.”
Paul Kehoe, the CEO of Birmingham International
Airport, added, “Emirates has been operating flights between
Birmingham and Dubai for 10 years now and over this time it has
provided a vital connection for the Midlands, not just to the
Middle East, but onwards to all corners of the globe ... We are therefore delighted to
see the opening of this stunning new facility in our new
International Pier, which signifies a long-term commitment by the
airline to Birmingham and the wider region.”
Emirates has been operating to Birmingham for a
decade and offers almost 800 seats a day on its two daily flights
from Dubai.
