SkyTeam's new lounge opens for business

SkyTeam has officially opened its latest lounge at Dubai International airport. Situated in the newly-built Concourse D, Terminal 1, the lounge has been designed to offer top quality hospitality and amenities for Elite Plus, First and Business Class passengers of the ten SkyTeam member airlines serving the airport.

“Shared facilities like our new Dubai lounge are a tangible example of how SkyTeam airlines can offer a greatly enhanced airport experience to their customers through synergies,” commented Perry Cantarutti, SkyTeam CEO and Managing Director. “Since we opened our first lounge in 2009 at London Heathrow, we have seen their value increase because they are popular with our customers while delivering benefits to our members’ businesses. We have plans to open more shared lounges across our network, starting with Beijing later this year.”

“Congratulations to SkyTeam on the opening of this fantastic lounge. We at marhaba are extremely proud to be their partner, and we have a shared understanding of the evolving needs of travellers, and how to deliver great service. Dubai is the perfect location for this new lounge, and we hope to add value with the history and experience marhaba has had operating at this airport,” added Jon Conway, Divisional Senior Vice President, marhaba.

Marhaba services will manage the lounge on behalf of SkyTeam. The lounge encompasses over 960 square metres, has seating for 180 customers and will be open around the clock.
