BA’s new lounge concept in Dubai was launched simultaneously in Miami in the US. 

Calum Laming, British Airways’ Chief Customer Officer, commented: “These unique spaces have been created with our customers in mind and are the next step in our extensive lounge transformation plan.

"We’re proud to bring our brand to life in these spaces, having blended our British originality with each destination’s unique character.” 

The opening forms part of BA’s broader investment in its premium service and customer experience across key international gateways.

The carrier continues to strengthen its presence in the Middle East, recently adding more flights from London Heathrow to Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi, starting late October. 

According to the International Air Transport Association’s 2024 World Air Transport Statistics report, 14.7% of travellers in the Middle East fly business or first class – more than double the global average of 6% – underscoring the demand for elevated travel experiences across the region.
