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.

The airline already offers free Wi-Fi in all its global lounges globally and on nearly 120 aircraft.

“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 vice president, airport services.

“We are working with 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 conspicuously 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 tray is compatible with Android and Blackberry phones, as well as iPhones using a cable. Customers can simply place their compatible device on the tray to charge it wirelessly.

Passengers on board Emirates also have other ways to stay connected with personal mobile phones services offered on more than 75 per cent of the fleet, and in-seat e-mail, telephone and SMS services on every aircraft.

With more than 120 aircraft also offering Live TV, customers can now stay connected to news as it happens or cheer for their favourite team in real time.

Emirates operates a daily scheduled flight between Dubai and Malta via Larnaca, Cyprus.
