Speaking on the new development, Mohammed Mattar, Divisional Senior Vice President, Emirates Airport Services, said "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.”
