Emirates today celebrates the first anniversary of the launch of its First and Business Class lounge at Cairo International Airport, which was officially opened on July 12, 2018, to serve Emirates passengers travelling to Dubai and connecting to its extensive network. Over the past year, the lounge welcomed 48,000 passengers, accommodating 3 daily flights between Cairo and Dubai.
The First and Business Class lounge at Cairo International Airport is the airline's 42nd lounge worldwide and the first in North Africa. Its investment cost was about $3.6 million, it covers an area of 880 m2 and has a capacity of 152 passengers, and it is dedicated to providing premium customers with a smooth and enjoyable journey.
In a related context, Emirates plans to increase the number of flights between Dubai and Cairo by adding 4 new weekly flights to the current operation of 3 weekly flights, starting next October 28, which means more customers will need more services, at a distinguished level of luxury, at the Cairo airport lounge.
