Emirates airline of the UAE has launched a dedicated premium lounge at Terminal 2 of Narita International Airport in Japan.

The Emirates Lounge is the first airline-owned lounge in Japan, and will provide an experience of seamless luxury and comfort for its First and Business Class customers, as well as Platinum and Gold members of Emirates Skywards – the Dubai-based airline’s frequent flyer programme.

Makato Natsume, president and CEO, Narita International Airport Corporation, said: “I would like to express my congratulations to Emirates for opening its world-class lounge here at Narita Airport. This is a Japan first. I look forward to further developments as Emirates and Narita International Airport move forward.”

The lounge provides a seamless transition to the elegant environment of the on-board First Class and Business Class offering with a colour palette reflecting the neutral, earthy tones that customers have come to associate with the Emirates brand.

In the lounge, passengers are able to choose from a complimentary selection of fine beverages and a wide range of hot and cold delicacies from a gourmet buffet.

State-of-the-art LED TVs ensure passengers remain up-to-date with the latest news and entertainment, and a fully equipped business centre is available for those needing to catch up on that last bit of business before flight. 

Complimentary wi-fi service is also offered throughout the facility. Passengers are also able to freshen up prior to their flight with the lounge’s shower facilities.
