Marhaba, part of dnata and a leading global airport hospitality brand, continues its expansion in the Philippines with the launch of a new, spacious lounge at Clark International Airport (CRK). The addition complements marhaba’s renowned Meet &Greet services, which have been available at the airport’s Terminal 2 since 2023. 

 

Located at gate nine in the departure terminal, the new marhaba lounge offers a comfortable and stylish retreat for up to 170 guests. Travelers can enjoy a diverse all-day buffet, featuring local and international cuisine, along with a variety of hot and cold beverages. Guests can unwind in private sleeping pods, watch live TV, or stay productive in dedicated business meeting rooms, while benefitting from complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi. The lounge also includes a private mother’s room, shower facilities and prayer rooms to accommodate the needs of all travelers.

In addition to the lounge, passengers at CRK can also take advantage of marhaba’s signature Meet & Greet services, designed to provide a seamless and stress-free airport experience. These services provide a personalized journey through the airport formalities with the assistance of customer-oriented agents who ensure a smooth transition to either the arrivals area or departure gate.

 

Besides Clark, marhaba offers airport Lounge services at Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) in the Philippines.
