Qatar Airways unveils new business-class seat
Qatar Airways presented a new business-class seat, “Q Suite,” at ITB Berlin March 8. Qatar Airways Group CE Akbar Al Baker said next year “all the current fleet will be reconfigured with the new product.” He declined to say how much the carrier invested in the new seats. To achieve the aggressive roll-out plan, Al Baker said Qatar will have 3 aircraft permanently on the ground for reconfiguration “in Doha and at some maintenance facilities in Europe.” He said the new product will have a “huge impact on our operation.” The first aircraft reconfigured with the new business-class seats will be a Boeing 777-300ER, which operates on the Doha-London Heathrow route, “followed by Paris and New York,” Al Baker said. He added that the Airbus A350-1000s, for which Qatar is the launch customer, will be equipped with the new product at the Airbus factory. <br/>
