Qatar Airways announces: First Class cancelled! The reason turned out to be...
Akbar Al Baker, chief executive of Qatar Airways, revealed that first-class seats will no longer be available on the next generation of long-haul aircraft.
"Qatar Airways' Business Class is very competitive, and the upgraded Q-suite specifications of Business Class are comparable to First Class, double bed and good space planning, so there is no need to invest in First Class," he said. ”
After all A380 aircraft are replaced by the next generation of long-haul flights, the Boeing 777X, the first class service will be cancelled in favor of its "private suites in the sky" business class service.
Qatar Airways says the business class can support single, double and even four-person cabin layouts, and each private suite in the sky is equipped with a door, providing more privacy than traditional first class.
Qatar Airways was named the World's Best Airline last year by Skytrax, a British aviation review agency, and First Class is known for its luxury, the seventh time Qatar Airways has been named the best since the awards were launched in 1999.
