What to Expect?
Qatar Airways introduced the original QSuite at ITB Berlin in 2017, setting a new standard for business class travel. The QSuite featured a sliding door for enhanced privacy and a unique quad-seat configuration, allowing four passengers to share space.
Despite its innovations, the QSuite faced criticism for its sleeping surface, limited storage, and excessive weight. Its width made it incompatible with Qatar Airways’ Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet.
The upcoming Next Gen QSuite, set to debut at the Farnborough International Air show from July 22-26, 2024, aims to address these issues. Expected improvements include:
- Lighter materials
- Updated sliding door
- Improved storage
- Enhanced foot space for better sleep
- Latest tech features like wireless and USB-C charging
- Bluetooth headphone connectivity
Qatar Airways Group CEO, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer also revealed plans for a new First Class product inspired by private jet experiences. This product is 70-80% complete, with an announcement expected soon.
The development of the new First Class follows a strategic review after the departure of former CEO Akbar Al Baker. These innovations demonstrate Qatar Airways’ commitment to maintaining its position as the World’s Best Airline and World’s Best Business Class.
