Qatar Airways Qsuite Next Gen Revealed

We’ve known for quite some time that Qatar has been working on a new Business Class product for its incoming widebody jets, with the Qsuite Next Gen to be first seen onboard the Boeing B777-9 by 2025.

Touted as ‘luxury redefined’, Qsuite Next Gen retains the same layout as the current product, alternating between front and rear-facing seats. The real focus is on enhancing the premium finishes and attention to detail that are loved on the original Qsuite.

Here’s what we know about Qsuite Next Gen so far;

• Enhanced design materials including a marble countertop finish and new premium seatback material
• Redesigned ‘Quad Suite’ for a fully open centre pod for four passengers seated together by swivelling TV screens to the side
• A new concept where a pair of window seats can be turned into a ‘Companion Suite’ to dine face-to-face
• Improved privacy with taller, digitally controlled dividers
• Even wider seats and a wider fully flat bed
• A new secure draw below the countertop that can be locked with a custom PIN code
• Improved tech with Panasonic 4K OLED screens, wireless charging and individually customisable ambient lighting
