Qatar Air Debuts Double-Bed Seats That Morph Into Meeting Room

  • Flexible berths can dock with others -- or swivel to face them
  • Al Baker says B/E Aero product will provide an edge in premium

Qatar Airways unveiled a new aircraft seat that can be docked with one next to it to create what the Gulf carrier says will be the industry’s first double bed in a business-class cabin.

The so-called QSuite is more flexible than earlier models and will also allow four berths to be realigned to form a mini meeting area, with adjustable screens creating a private area for couples, Qatar Air said Wednesday.
