Qatar Airways to launch ‘super business class’ seat in November
Qatar Airways has revealed it is planning a new ‘super business class’ seat to close the gap between First and Business class. The airline expects to debut the new seat offer on a Boeing 777 this November. The seat will feature sliding doors to convert it into a suite-like cabin, similar to a concept proposed by British firm DCA Design International for SIA. However, this particular design will be patented and exclusive to Qatar Airways. The airline’s CE Akbar Al Baker said the new seat will “frankly be first class at a business class fare”. He added: “I really feel that private suites become a bit claustrophobic, so when we are designing our new business class product we are making sure it is not claustrophobic." The new Super Business Class berth will likely debut on a Boeing 777-300ER. <br/>
