Her name is Crystal Suite and is intended to replace the current long-haul business class fitted to aircraft Turkish Airlines. With this new product, the Turkish national carrier aims to continue to position itself among the world's top airlines. Particularly in the face of its Gulf rivals.
The biggest change offered by the Crystal Suite is the addition of a sliding door and panel around each seat. They give passengers greater privacy. The cabin has been given a new, more pastel colour scheme, to create a feeling of space. The airline has installed tables imitating marble, while the rose gold finish adds a certain elegance.
A wider seat
The most important thing, of course, is the seat. Designed directly by the workshops of a Turkish Airlines subsidiary, TCI Aircraft Interiors, it is 58 cm wide, with extra legroom.
Each seat has direct access from the aisles. Adjustable mood and reading lights, power sockets, a wireless mobile phone charger - simply place it on the faux-marble tray table - an adjustable mirror and a 56 cm screen complete the seat configuration.
Last but not least, Turkish Airlines will continue to pull out all the stops when it comes to catering, offering top-quality Turkish and international cuisine with a chef on board and à la plate service. According to thehe Chairman of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee of Turkish Airlines, Professor Ahmet Bolat, "Our new Business Crystal suite opens a new chapter in long-haul travel with its level of comfort and intimacy, so that we can continue to offer our customers an unrivalled experience in the skies".
The new seats will gradually be fitted to Airbus A350 on order as well as the existing fleet of Boeing 777.
