Turkish Airlines has introduced its latest offering in luxury air travel: the Crystal Business Class suite. The new suite was unveiled at the Farnborough International Airshow 2024 in Hampshire, United Kingdom, marking a significant upgrade to the airline's long-haul business class experience.

The Crystal Business Class suite is the first from Turkish Airlines to feature an adjustable suite door and privacy panel, addressing the growing demand for enhanced in-flight privacy. The new seats boast a 23-inch width and increased footwell space, with direct aisle access for all passengers. Window suites offer full visibility, catering to travelers who prefer scenic views during their journey.

In keeping with the airline's "Flow" brand identity, the suite design incorporates lighter and warmer colors, marble-style tables and rose gold finishes. Amenities include adjustable ambient and reading lights, universal and Type C power outlets, a wireless charger, a noise-cancelling audio jack, an adjustable mirror, closed stowage, an ergonomic seat cushion and a 22-inch entertainment screen.

Turkish Airlines' subsidiary, TCI Aircraft Interiors, developed the new seats, incorporating plush leathers and fabrics sourced from Turkey to emphasize the carrier's national identity.

"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 Ahmet Bolat, chairman of the board and executive committee for Turkish Airlines. “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."
