Global airport hospitality brand marhaba, part of dnata, has expanded its presence in the Philippines with the opening of a new airport lounge at Clark International Airport (CRK | RPLC). The addition strengthens marhaba’s commitment to enhancing the passenger experience, complementing its Meet & Greet services already available at CRK’s Terminal 2 since 2023.
Located at Gate 9 in the departure terminal, the spacious new lounge offers a premium retreat for up to 170 guests. Travelers can enjoy an all-day buffet featuring both local and international cuisine, along with a selection of hot and cold beverages. The lounge also provides private sleeping pods, live TV, business meeting rooms, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi. Additional amenities include a mother’s room, shower facilities, and prayer rooms, catering to the needs of diverse travelers.
Beyond lounge services, passengers at CRK can take advantage of marhaba’s Meet & Greet services, designed to offer a seamless airport journey. These services provide personalized assistance through airport formalities, ensuring a smooth transition through arrivals and departures.
Marhaba currently operates airport lounges at Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL | RPLL), further solidifying its presence in the Philippines.
“We are delighted to further expand our airport hospitality offerings in the Philippines. Our new lounge in Clark, combined with our Meet & Greet services, allows us to provide travelers with a seamless, end-to-end airport experience. Our dedicated team is committed to ensuring a warm, welcoming and memorable journey for every passenger,” according to Margaret Yu, CEO of dnata The Philippines.
Originally launched in the UAE, marhaba was established to assist travelers at Dubai International Airport (DXB | OMDB). With Dubai’s growth as a major travel hub, demand for Meet & Greet services has surged, prompting marhaba to expand its services worldwide.
Today, marhaba operates 18 airport lounges across seven countries, including the UAE, Australia, Switzerland, Pakistan, Singapore, Tanzania (Zanzibar), and the Philippines. In several locations, including the UAE, Australia, Switzerland, Zanzibar, and the Philippines, travelers can also book Meet & Greet services for an enhanced airport experience.
