Emirates has today opened its first lounge at Glasgow Airport.
Unveiled this morning by the Gulf airline's president Tim Clark, the facility's opening coincides with the start of the Commonwealth Games, which take place in the Scottish city this month and next.
It is located in the departures corridor of the main departures lounge and provides passengers with airfield views, while being a short walk from the Emirates Gate 30 boarding point.
Facilities include formal and relaxed seating areas, a dining area, showers and a business centre with wifi.
The 736 sqm lounge is open to Emirates First Class and Business Class passengers as well as Emirates Skywards Premium Gold members.
Clark said: "Our new Emirates Lounge at Glasgow is the largest at the airport and represents a significant £2 million direct investment. Its opening celebrates our decade-long operations and our close ties with Scotland.
"Our passenger numbers have grown as we progressively developed our services into Glasgow. The lounge opening today is a testament to the success of our double daily operation.
"The lounge will be an unrivalled premium experience for our customers travelling to popular destinations including Bangkok, Perth, Sydney and Singapore, via our hub in Dubai."
In April, Emirates operated a one-off A380 service into Glasgow to mark ten years since the Dubai-based carrier launched services in Scotland (see news, February 12).
