Qatar Airways Qsuite is one of the world’s best business-class products, and it continues to wow customers over the years. The product was developed by the airline exclusively for itself; however, that did not stop the airline from innovating even further. Qatar Airways has just announced the next variant of the Qsuite, which will be outfitted on their next-generation aircraft, the Boeing 777X.
Qatar Airways’ new Qsuite
On the first morning of the Farnborough International Airshow 2024, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer unveiled the new, ultra-modern ‘Qsuite Next Gen’.
During the reveal, Engr. Al-Meer highlighted the Qsuite Next Gen’s new and enhanced features, including fully customisable Quad Suites, Companion Suites in window aisles, 4K OLED manoeuvrable in-flight entertainment (IFE) screens, and increased space and privacy in each suite.
The Qsuite Next Gen aims to facilitate a mindful work-life balance with its revolutionary attributes for all professionals, friends, and families, said the airline. The redesigned Quad Suite is now equipped with movable 4K OLED Panasonic Astrova IFE screens – a first for any airline worldwide. The screens can be repositioned to the side to create the largest social and productivity space in the sky for up to four passengers in the Quad Suite and up to two passengers in the Companion Suite.
Rest and relaxation on board the Quad Suite have also been enhanced with increased space for dining together—a hallmark of Qatari heritage—and added privacy with taller, digitally controlled dividers. With larger lie-flat and double beds, the new Quad Suite will also offer turn-down service with a dedicated ‘Make My Bed’ feature.
The new Companion Suite has similar characteristics to the Quad Suite, now with the noteworthy revamp of offering the same shared space in window aisles. A pair of window seats behind one another can be turned into a double suite, allowing a couple of people to sit and dine face to face by lowering the wall and moving the TVs to the side.
Adopting new technologies for increased passenger convenience and connectivity, the Qsuite Next Gen delivers various customisation options, ranging from ambient lighting to privacy controls, through its upgraded touchscreen Passenger Control Units. The seats also have other aspects where the technology has improved, including new wireless charging.
Here is a video of the new Qsuite that Qatar Airways has released.
The Qsuite Next Gen will be featured on board the Qatar Airways Boeing B777-9 aircraft by 2025, which is the current publicly committed timeline per Boeing. Qatar Airways currently has over 70 of these jets on order, and they’re expected to be delivered starting in 2025.
On this occasion, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, said,
We are excited to have finally revealed the long-awaited Qsuite Next Gen at the Farnborough International Airshow. Qatar Airways has once again raised the bar for its award-winning product, the Qsuite. We look forward to welcoming media and partners to our stand throughout the week to experience the future of business class travel with the World’s Best Business Class onboard the World’s Best Airline.
Bottomline
Qatar Airways has unveiled its new business-class product, Qsuite Next Gen, at the Farnborough Airshow. This is the next version of the already popular QSuite, taking the current product’s evolution to the next level. However, this new QSuite version will fly on the Boeing 777X for now, which means it should be seen in real life late in 2025 when the first 777X gets delivered to the airline.
