Qatar Airways has pulled back the curtain on its highly anticipated ‘Qsuite Next Gen’ business-class cabins on the first day of the Farnborough International Airshow in the UK. The Qsuite Next Gen will be featured on Qatar Airways Boeing B777-9 aircraft by 2025.

First launched in 2017, the latest high-tech iteration of the award-winning Qsuite product aims to provide a mindful work-life balance with innovative attributes for business and leisure travellers, including groups and families.

Qatar Airways teased an update for the Qsuite in March 2024, announcing the debut at the Farnborough International Airshow from 26-28 July.

What’s on board?

The screens can be repositioned to the side to create the largest social and productivity space in the sky for up to four passengers in the Quad Suite and up to two passengers in the Companion Suite.
