As part of its global expansion plans, marhaba, a UAE-based company, has introduced its ‘Meet & Greet’ services at Manchester Airport.
Manchester Airport is one of the UK’s busiest gateways serving 27 million passengers annually.
The service will help arriving, departing or transiting travellers navigate airport complexities and late-night flights.
It offers personalised support from kerb to gate, including fast-track access through immigration and security, baggage handling and optional porter services.
Marking its entry into the UK market, the launch reflects broader trends in airport hospitality as premium travel services gain traction with families, corporate travellers and tourists looking to minimise stress at busy terminals.
First introduced in the UAE in 1991, marhaba’s Meet & Greet services are now available across eight countries in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Australia.
Over the years, it has expanded its portfolio to include everything from fast-track immigration clearance to chauffeur services.
More recently, it started offering off-airport services for passengers based in Dubai – including Check In Anywhere and Land & Leave. Customers can also book access to over 400 lounges and Meet & Greet services provided by global partners.
Clive Sauvé-Hopkins, CEO, Airport Operations at dnata, said: “Launching marhaba in the UK is part of our broader strategy to bring the warmth and care of Arabian hospitality to more travellers around the world. This expansion reinforces our focus on delivering a seamless airport experience – one that’s efficient, personal and consistently high quality. As part of dnata, marhaba builds on our strong UK presence across airport operations, catering, retail and travel services, allowing us to offer even greater value to passengers and partners.”
