The travel community is abuzz with Berlin hosting the
largest travel trade show. For days, Qatar Airways was expected to
become a key player of this year’s edition…and the airline did not disappoint.
On the first day of the fair, Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker announced a
potential order of 50 Airbus A321neos and plans for a 100-aircraft domestic
airline in India. Two major announcements for the industry, even though nothing
as exciting as the unveiling of the airline’s new Business Class, happening on
the same day. The new QSuite concept will be retrofitted on to the existing
Qatar Airways fleet starting from June 2017, at an estimated rate of one
aircraft a month.
The lavish unveiling ceremony was attended by international
media and guests of honor, including the Mayor of Berlin, Mr. Michael Müller
and the Qatari Ambassador to Germany, His Excellency Sheikh Saoud Bin
Abdulrahman Al-Thani. Everyone celebrated the launch of this groundbreaking new
seat design, created over a period of 2 years.
Each seat is crafted with thoughtful and luxurious details
such as hand-stitched Italian leather and satin rose gold finishing, bringing
an unprecedented level of luxury, privacy, and style to Qatar Airways’ Business
Class offering. QSuite features the industry’s first-ever double bed available
in Business Class, with privacy panels that stow away, allowing passengers in
adjoining seats to create their own private room.
Adjustable panels and movable TV monitors on the center four
seats allow colleagues, friends or families traveling together to transform
their space into a private suite, allowing them to work, dine and socialize
together. These new features provide the ultimate customizable travel
experience that enables passengers to create an environment that suits their
own unique needs.
In addition to the existing decadent ‘dine on demand’
service, the new Business Class menu will now offer a selection of snack
‘sharing dishes’ available throughout the flight, allowing travelers to turn
dining at 35,000 feet into a social experience. A wake-up Express Breakfast
will also be available for those who choose to sleep a little longer by making
the most of the ‘Do Not Disturb’ option available on the door of their private
QSuite.
