Qatar Airways reveals in-flight lounge
Dedicated first class lounges are to be incorporated in new long range Airbus aircraft ordered by Qatar Airways.
A new livery for the Doha-based carrier on new aircraft from the summer has also been unveiled.
The in-flight lounge for premium passengers on the A340-600 aircraft due for delivery from the summer will feature a stand-up bar, leather sofas seating up to six and electronically operated window shades.
The airline has ordered 10 of the Airbus aircraft for delivery over two years. They are capable of flying 14 hours non-stop, enabling Qatar Airways to start flights to the US.
The airline’s CEO Akbar Al Baker, speaking at the ITB trade show in Berlin, said: “Our new first class lounge on board our A340-600 aircraft reflects the importance we pay to our most loyal customers – our premium class passengers who are looking for that little more attention, privacy and comfort.
“We cannot rest on our laurels, which is why we are taking significant steps forward with both our image and product offering.
“Over the next few weeks and months we will be unveiling further details of our onboard product on the A340-600 and I promise that they will be revolutionary in design and style.”
