Emirates has opened a dedicated lounge for First Class and Business Class passengers, as well as Gold members of Skywards - the airline's frequent flyer programme, at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport (IST).
The grand opening was marked by a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by local dignitaries, members of the media and senior Emirates staff.
“We reaffirm our commitment to providing our discerning customers with consistently high standards, with our 1.5 million euro investment in the new Istanbul lounge,” said Mohammed H. Mattar, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president - airport services. “Lounges are an integral part of a stress-free, seamless travel experience, and it is this type of investment that sets Emirates apart. It is a matter of great pride to be adding Istanbul as the 30th Emirates Lounge in our network of lounges.”
Located at the transit area of the international terminal of Ataturk Airport, the new Emirates Lounge offers seating for over 100 customers covering an indoor area of 520 sqm. It offers a range of gourmet dishes from Turkish and world cuisine, as well as a complimentary full-bar service including premium wine, spirits and champagne. The Lounge also offers services like a fully equipped business centre with Wi-Fi connectivity, TV and reading areas, shower facilities and a prayer room.
“We do not want to limit the joy of travel to only the flight time, but to extend that to the entire journey,” said Bahar Ahmet Birinci, Emirates Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria general manager. “Recognizing the fact that travel starts from the moment you leave your home, from our chauffeur service to the new lounge at the airport, we want our guests to enjoy their complete travel experience with Emirates.
“Designed in keeping with the international standards of Emirates, the Lounge distinguishes from other dedicated lounges with the amenities on offer.”
