Emirates Launches New Luxury Lounge in Johannesburg
DUBAI — Emirates moved to further cushion passengers from travel weariness yesterday by officially opening a brand new luxury lounge in Johannesburg.
Leather armchairs, complimentary gourmet chef prepared food, refreshing drinks, reading material and shower facilities now await premium passengers at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport, courtesy of the award winning airline.
This is Emirates’ first exclusive lounge in Africa and the sixth to be opened this year on its ever broadening route network. Throughout 2009, lounges have opened in Hamburg, Manchester, Dusseldorf, Mumbai, Beijing, and in the months ahead Birmingham will come on stream, representing investment of more than Dh266 million ($72 million). “At Emirates, we are constantly investing in the comfort of our passengers and rewarding loyalty by providing high quality service offerings. This lounge is another example of our dedication to offering the very best to our customers,” said Mohammed Mattar, Emirates’ Divisional Senior Vice President, Airport Services, who was in Johannesburg for the opening.
The lounge, with seating for 135 guests, contains flat screen televisions for the latest TV news, an extensive collection of international and local newspapers, magazines and a state-of-the-art business centre with free internet access.
