marhaba, one of the world’s leading airport hospitality services providers, is launching at Manchester Airport.
The Dubai-headquartered company is introducing its signature Meet & Greet service, available from 1 September 2025, which promises to give travellers a hassle-free experience when flying to or departing from Manchester, the UK’s third busiest airport.
Passengers using the service will be met by a dedicated host who will guide them through fast-tracked check-in, security and immigration. Additional support includes baggage handling, an optional porter service, and help with flight information and connections.
Prices start at just £75, offering a premium experience at an accessible price point for travellers.
The launch comes as Manchester Airport revealed near record-breaking footfall, with almost 3.3 million people traveling through the northwest hub in July alone.
Demand for premium travel services has grown during busy periods such as football matches, conferences, school holidays and music festivals, with marhaba’s launch offering passengers a way to ensure a smooth journey through Manchester Airport.
Clive Sauvé-Hopkins, CEO – Airport Operations at dnata: “Our launch in Manchester is the first time we’ll offer marhaba’s signature service in the UK – a big milestone for us. While using marhaba might feel like luxury, it’s not only for celebrities, executives, and ‘VIP’ travellers. The service has been launched to support busy families juggling children and luggage, solo, business or elderly travellers, nervous flyers, and those heading off on long-haul or multi-leg journeys.
“With Manchester Airport seeing such a high footfall year-round, it’s the perfect location to introduce our signature service. At a competitive price point, we look forward to bringing the warmth and care of Arabian hospitality to a breadth of passengers travelling in the northwest.”
The launch at Manchester Airport marks the first time marhaba’s signature offering will be available in the UK after introducing the service in eight countries across the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Australia, including some of the busiest travel hubs in the world, such as Dubai, Zurich and Sydney.
marhaba is part of dnata, which belongs to the wider Emirates Group, with a significant presence in the UK.
marhaba’s offering at Manchester is priced competitively, with starting rates designed to make premium airport hospitality accessible to more travellers:
- Arrivals: £82.50 per adult / £185 for a family of four
- Departures: £75 per adult / £170 for a family of four
- Optional porter service: £140–£145 per booking
