Business class passengers on Turkish Airlines‘ longest flights are in for a treat (in a year or so). The carrier’s new Crystal Suite business class cabin, introduced at the 2024 Farnborough International Airshow, will deliver more space, more privacy, and more comfort for travelers as it is rolled out to the fleet.
Our new Crystal Business Class suite will … carry the airline into the future with a new level of comfort and privacy across our extensive global network.
– Prof. Ahmet Bolat, Turkish Airlines Chairman of The Board and Executive Committee
The 1-2-1 cabin layout is a big win for passenger comfort, as is the 23″ wide seat. Sliding doors provide increased privacy, while a 22″ IFE screen will keep travelers entertained throughout their flight.
Multiple charging options (universal AC, USB-C, wireless) will similarly keep passengers powered on board.
The new seat, developed by TCI Aircraft Interiors, offers a number of features unique to the Turkish Airlines implementation. These include a marble side table and leathers and fabrics sourced from Türkiye, helping to fly the local economy around the globe.
The new cabins will fly first on the Turkish 777 fleet (currently a 2-3-2 layout) as part of a retrofit program. The seats are also expected to be “gradually installed” new on A350s; the carrier holds orders for ~80 of the type from Airbus.
