Qatar Airways emphasized that The Qsuite Next Gen aims to facilitate a mindful work-life balance with its revolutionary attributes for all professionals, friends, and families. The redesigned Quad Suite is now equipped with movable 4K OLED Panasonic Astrova IFE screens – a first for any airline in the world. These screens can be repositioned to create a large social and productivity space for up to four passengers in the Quad Suite and up to two passengers in the Companion Suite.

Rest on board has also been enhanced with increased space for dining together and added privacy through taller dividers. With larger lie-flat and double beds, the new Quad Suite will offer Qatar Airways' turn-down service with a dedicated ‘Make My Bed’ feature.

The new Companion Suite shares similar characteristics with added shared space in window aisles.

Adopting new technologies for increased passenger convenience and connectivity, the Qsuite Next Gen delivers various customization options ranging from ambient lighting to privacy controls through upgraded touchscreen Passenger Control Units.

The Qsuite Next Gen will be featured on board Qatar Airways Boeing B777-9 aircraft by 2025.
