New Emirates lounge at London Stansted offers premium UK business travellers world-class amenities
Emirates has opened its new, £4 million lounge at London Stansted Airport, providing First and Business Class customers, as well as Emirates Skywards members, with premium hospitality before their flights.
This new lounge, the airline’s sixth in the UK, marks an important expansion of Emirates’ dedicated lounge network, which now covers London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester and now London Stansted.
Emirates’ premium customers can now enjoy the airline’s world-class service across all London airports, underlining the airline’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its on-ground experience. This significant investment further strengthens Emirates’ offering in one of its key global markets.
The new 900-square-metre facility accommodates up to 125 guests and offers a range of exclusive services, from complimentary Wi-Fi to luxurious shower facilities and gourmet dining. In keeping with Emirates’ tradition of excellence, the lounge is conveniently located adjacent to the departure gates, allowing for a short 2–3-minute walk to board the aircraft.
Mohammed Mattar, Divisional Senior Vice President Airport Services at Emirates, commented:
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.
The lounge’s food and beverage offering will spotlight the best of British cuisine, thanks to a partnership with Sussex-based Full Circles Farms. Customers will be treated to a ‘farm to table’ menu, featuring organic, seasonal produce, along with an array of premium wines, spirits, and Moet & Chandon champagnes.
Stansted Airport’s Managing Director, Gareth Powell, praised the new development:

Emirates’ decision to invest in this lounge reinforces its commitment to both UK business and leisure travellers, offering 133 weekly flights to the UK, including a double-daily service from Stansted.
Business travellers will benefit from seamless connections to over 140 destinations worldwide, making this lounge a significant upgrade to the travel experience for professionals flying from Stansted.
