Qatar Airways unveils updated Qsuite business class at Farnborough Airshow

Another key update involves inflight entertainment screens from Panasonic Avionics’ Astrova line. These 22-inch OLED screens can be folded away by crew members, allowing passengers in certain seat configurations to face each other and dine together or watch shows at a 90-degree angle to the screen.

However, some aspects of these changes have drawn criticism. Walton observed that "the moving monitor assembly is, frankly, clunky" and suggested that further design iterations could improve its refinement.

The suite also includes additional storage options such as two drawers—one functioning like a hotel safe—and standard amenities like wireless charging and various plug sockets.

Regarding materials used in construction, Walton pointed out that many surfaces felt overly reliant on thermoplastics. Despite this, some elements like Kydex Lumina thermoplastic above headrests were praised for their aesthetic appeal under cabin lighting conditions.

Although Qatar Airways did not disclose the manufacturer of these new suites during the event, it was noted that executives from Adient Aerospace were present. It is understood that Adient Aerospace is producing these seats based on Qatar's intellectual property in collaboration with Acumen designers. This marks a shift from Collins Aerospace, which manufactured the original Qsuite.
