Emirates is to reopen more than 20 executive lounges across its network in line with an upsurge in travel demand.
Premium passengers will have access to over 120 airport lounges by February.
Facilities at Gatwick and Glasgow will reopen in January following Heathrow, Birmingham and Manchester by late December as the Dubai-based carrier resumes operations to the majority of its pre-pandemic network.
The airline said: “All Emirates lounges have resumed operations after stringent health and safety measures have been put in place to ensure the wellbeing of passengers.
“Furthermore, Emirates’ airport services teams around its network have worked closely with partner lounge service providers to ensure specific protocols are met to provide services to its premium and frequent flyer customers.
“Depending on specific local guidelines in each market, either buffet service or a la carte dining are offered to customers and only contactless menus are available via one’s smartphone.
“Special seating arrangements have been made to ensure social distancing guidelines are met.”
