While major airshows are known for setting the stage for big aircraft deals, they are also popular for airlines to unveil new products and services. Qatar Airways has piqued curiosity by announcing that this year’s Farnborough Airshow will reveal its ‘Qsuite Next Gen’ – the latest in the carrier’s business class offering.

Qsuite Next Gen

If you’re a fan of Qatar Airways’ Qsuite, then this year’s Farnborough International Airshow will be even more appealing as the airline will present its Qsuite Next Gen in a big reveal. The popular aviation event will be held from July 22-26, and Qatar has chosen it to display the future of its business class product.

The reveal will happen at the Qatar Airways Discover Lounge, with the Qsuite Next Gen forming the centerpiece of the airline’s presence at the popular airshow. Indeed, the Farnborough International Airshow is attended by aviation leaders across the world and followed by avgeeks and the media, so Qatar Airways has chosen the right platform to present its next-generation business class seats.

What to expect?

Qatar is saving pretty much everything for the airshow but has revealed enough to keep everyone curious. It said that customers could expect Qsuite Next Gen to offer further advancements in comfort, collaborative and social design elements, and passenger dining experiences. Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, commented,

“We are highly anticipating this year’s Farnborough International Airshow and as the Best Airline in the World we are confident that the reveal of our latest business class offering will be a huge draw for the global aviation community. We also look forward to welcoming visitors to our installations and onboard our aircraft which will be on display, to experience what we offer.”

Current Qsuite

Qatar Airways Qsuite is considered by many to be one of the best business class products in the world. It is available on select routes for Qatar Airways Business Class and has several features that make it popular with passengers.

Those traveling with friends and family can take advantage of the movable panels to transform the space into a social area, such as the Twin Suite, Double Suite, and what the airline calls “The Quad” for up to four people.

It offers an exclusive space and is the carrier’s first business class seat with a door. The Qsuite also has ambient mood lighting, fully lie-flat beds, and generous storage space. It is also the airline’s first cabin to offer aft and forward-facing seats, which helps achieve the quad configuration.

The media panel comes with all the features one would expect in a premium cabin of a global airline, such as an all-access power port with USB, HDMI, and NFC capabilities. While many consider Qatar’s Qsuite a brilliant way to travel long-haul, it’ll be interesting to see how the carrier steps up its game with the Qsuite Next Gen.
