Qatar Airways to Debut QSuite on Shanghai Route

Qatar Airways will debut its new Business Class seat, the acclaimed Qsuite, on its Doha-Shanghai route from next month.

Patented by Qatar Airways, Qsuite features a double bed and private cabins for up to four people with privacy panels that stow away, allowing passengers in adjoining seats to create their own private room, a first of its kind in the industry. The adjustable panels and movable TV monitors on the centre four seats allow colleagues, friends or families travelling together to transform their space into a private suite, allowing them to work, dine and socialise together.

“Shanghai was Qatar Airways’ first gateway to China in October 2003. It is therefore fitting that we have chosen it to introduce our award-winning Qsuite product on flights to China, further demonstrating the strength of our commitment to the Chinese market,” says Qatar Airways group chief executive Akbar Al Baker. “With Qsuite, we have redefined industry norms and have truly revolutionised Business Class travel by offering passengers a First Class experience in a Business Class cabin, bringing unparalleled inflight comfort, luxury, and style to our discerning customers.”

Qatar Airways currently has 31 weekly flights to six mainland China gateways: Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Chongqing, and Chengdu.
