Patented by Qatar Airways, Qsuite features the industry’s first-ever double bed available in Business Class, and private cabins for up to four people with privacy panels that stow away, allowing passengers in adjoining seats to create their own private room, a first of its kind in the industry.

Adjustable panels and movable TV monitors on the centre four seats also allow colleagues, friends and families travelling together to transform their space into a private suite, allowing them to work, dine and socialise together. These new features provide the ultimate customisable travel experience that enables passengers to create an environment that suits their own needs.

Earlier this month, Qatar Airways won a Crystal Cabin Award for ‘Best Cabin Concept‘ in recognition of Qsuite’s innovative design. The award, announced at the Aircraft Interiors Exposition that took place in Hamburg, Germany, was decided by a jury of 28 international experts to distinguish pioneering on-board innovation by airlines.
