Emirates customers can now stay fully charged with the launch of 30
wireless charging trays for most smartphones in its First Class and
Business Class Lounges in Concourse A, B and C in Dubai. With free Wi-Fi
in all Emirates Lounges globally and on over 120 aircraft, customers can
also stay connected throughout their journey. This new offering is
another step in Emirates’ strategic plan to offer greater mobility and
connectivity to its customers.
"Our aspiration is to
provide greater comfort for our customers and a hassle-free, seamless
travel experience. Mobile devices are an intrinsic part of our lives, and
at Emirates we see free Wi-Fi and wireless charging on the go, as
becoming the norm in the future travel experience,” said Mohammed Mattar,
Divisional Senior VP Emirates Airport Services. “That is why we invest to
continually enhance connectivity in our lounges and onboard our aircraft.
We are working with leading technology providers to launch a broader and
more evolved deployment of wireless charging in our lounges and look
forward to expanding this service for our customers."
Placed in highly visible
locations around the lounges, the wireless
charging trays can currently be used to charge mobile phone devices only,
accommodating up to two phones at a time. The charging tray is compatible
with Android, Blackberry, as well as iPhones using a cable. Customers can
simply place their compatible device on the tray to charge it wirelessly.
Free Wi-Fi both in the lounges
and onboard, is extremely popular with constant connectivity now an
expected standard. According to the airline’s data, the websites its
passengers most frequently access onboard include Facebook and Google,
and chat services such as Skype and WhatsApp, reflecting travellers’
strong desire to stay connected on the move and their use of social media
channels to do so.
Passengers on board Emirates
also have other ways to stay connected with personal mobile phones
services offered on over 75 per cent of the fleet, and in-seat email,
telephone and SMS services on every aircraft.
With nearly 60 aircraft also
offering Live TV, customers can now stay connected to news as it happens
or cheer for their favourite team in real time.
Earlier this year, Emirates
launched its Apple Watch app and debuted the Emirates App for Android in
May. Emirates is ramping up its efforts to enhance its passengers’ travel
experience through mobile technologies, and these new charging solutions
play a crucial role in ensuring seamless connectivity.
