Key improvements include adjustable doors and privacy panels, increased seat width and additional footwell space. Amenities have been modernised, with new ambient and reading lights, universal and Type C power outlets, wireless charging, noise-cancelling headphones and a larger in-flight entertainment screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new suites will feature marble-inspired tables, rose gold finishes and fabrics sourced from T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur Crystal Business Class suite will add a new chapter for our long-haul luxury travel,\u201d said<\/a> Turkish Airlines Chairman Ahmet Bolat, before explaining the upgrades will extend to Turkish Airlines’ Airbus A350s and retrofitted Boeing 777s. \u201c[The suites] will carry the airline into the future with a new level of comfort and privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkish Airlines aims to update 50% of its fleet by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qatar Airways, meanwhile, announced its highly anticipated Qsuite Next Gen, featuring revamped Quad Suites and a new Companion Suite, plus larger lie-flat beds, enhanced privacy with taller, digitally controlled dividers and a turn-down service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The redesigned Quad Suite features 4K Panasonic screens that can swivel against the wall, making it a world-first for any airline. The innovation allows up to four passengers to connect their suites into a ‘family’ configuration, creating the \u201clargest social and productivity space in the sky.\u201d The new Companion Suite mode similarly allows adjacent window aisles to merge, ideal for \u2018face-to-face\u2019 dining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to have finally revealed the long-awaited Qsuite Next Gen,\u201d said<\/a> Qatar Airways CEO Badr Mohammed Al-Meer. \u201cWe continue to build on our promise of delivering unparalleled excellence in each and every iteration of our products and services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fleet will feature on Qatar Airways\u2019 Boeing B777-9 aircraft by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
