Turkish Airlines is rolling out its next generation of luxury air travel: the Crystal Business Class suite.

Revealed at last week’s Farnborough International Airshow 2024 in Hampshire, U.K., the new business class, available on transcontinental flights, offers an elevated flight experience with enhanced comfort and privacy.

In addition to an adjustable suite door and high walls, the 23-inch-wide seats are arranged in a 1-2-1 layout—giving all passengers aisle access—and feature increased footwell space. When reclined, the seats can convert to a fully flat bed, complete with mattress topper, blanket, and pillow.

Turkish Airlines’ Crystal Business Class suite includes modern amenities like wireless charging, universal and Type C power outlets, ergonomic stow cushions, ambient lighting, and a 22-inch screen for inflight entertainment.

“Our new Crystal Business Class suite will add a new chapter for our long-haul luxury travel and will carry the airline into the future with a new level of comfort and privacy across our extensive global network,” said Turkish Airlines chairman of the board and executive committee Prof. Ahmet Bolat. “The specially created design will complement our award-winning in-flight dining options for us to keep providing an unparalleled experience above the clouds for our guests.”

The new seats were developed by Turkish Airlines subsidiary, TCI Aircraft Interiors, and feature unique aesthetic elements, like rose gold highlights and marble-patterned bench tops.

The new business class suite will debut on retrofitted Boeing 777 (beginning in 2025) and will be included in the airline’s on-order ultra-long range Airbus A350-1000 jets, expected in 2026.

Turkish Airlines is also rolling out free, unlimited high-speed wi-fi across its fleet, which should be completed within two years.
