Dubai’s Emirates has opened its new lounge at London Stansted Airport, investing over £4 million ($5.3 million) in the facility.
The 900 sq. mt. space can accommodate up to 125 guests, including First and Business Class customers and Emirates Skywards members.
This marks the airline’s sixth dedicated lounge in the UK, joining existing facilities in London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Manchester. The addition ensures all London airports served by Emirates now offer premium on-ground experiences.

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 for our customers across the southern region of the UK. The new lounge is a testament to our brand promise of always flying customers better – in the air and on-ground.
And it also marks a major milestone for us as we now proudly offer dedicated lounge facilities across six airports in the UK – underscoring our ongoing commitment to one of the most important markets in our network. We look forward to taking the premium travel experience to new heights and to offering customers a chance to unwind and dine with Emirates’ renowned signature hospitality.”
Located in Satellite 1, the lounge features new furnishings, dedicated seating areas, and dining facilities.
Customers can access complimentary Wi-Fi, shower facilities, and amenities. The lounge’s proximity to departure gates allows for a short 2-3 minute walk to the aircraft.
The airline has partnered with Sussex-based Full Circles Farms to offer a ‘farm to table’ food concept, featuring seasonal menus with organic vegetables and local dishes. Premium spirits, wines, and Moet & Chandon champagnes are also available.
Gareth Powell, Managing Director at Stansted Airport added: “The opening of Emirates’ new world-class lounge is fantastic news for London Stansted and passengers using Emirates services to Dubai and beyond, and once again demonstrates the airline’s commitment to the airport and the wider region.
“Offering an experience of luxury and comfort for the airline’s First and Business Class customers, its location in Satellite 1 boasts excellent views over the airport and allows boarding access to the aircraft directly from the lounge. The 14 weekly flights between London Stansted and Dubai have been extremely popular with travellers since day one, not just to the Middle East, but right across the globe thanks to the airline’s huge worldwide route network.”
The airline currently operates 133 weekly flights to the UK, including a double-daily Boeing 777 service to and from London Stansted.
The airline’s network spans over 140 destinations, offering connections to Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, Africa, and Australasia.
