Turkish Airlines Unveils New Crystal Business Class Suite

Turkish Airlines is raising the bar with its stunning new Business Class offering – the Crystal Business Class Suite. Revealed at the Farnborough International Airshow this week, the new Business Class has been designed with elements unique to the brand, while also taking into account the feedback from passengers.

The new Business Class seats will be featured on the carrier’s transcontinental flights, installed on the airline’s Airbus A350’s on order, starting in 2026. They will also be retrofitted on its fleet of 33 Boeing 777 aircraft. When the 777s are reconfigured, the size of the business class cabin is expected to be reduced from 49 seats to 44 seats.

The Overall Design

The idea behind this was to create a product unique to the airline. The new seating offers plush leathers and fabrics, sourced from Turkiye to emphasise the carrier’s roots. The new suites feature lighted and warmer colours, marble-style tables and rose gold finishes. 

Crystal Business Suite: The Offerings

The Crystal Cabin offers a blend of modern design and privacy. Each Business Class seat offers direct aisle access, while window seats will have full visibility. To add to this, each will be equipped with a suite door, adjustable privacy panel for the middle seats, marble-look cocktail table with wireless charging, ambient and reading lights, universal and type C outlets, noise-cancelling headphone jack, adjustable personal mirror, closed stowage area and a 22inch IFE screen.

Designed for Comfort

The Crystal Cabin has been designed with passenger comfort in mind. The seats transform into fully flat beds, complete with plush bedding, ensuring you arrive at your destination well-rested. There will be an expanded personal space and specially produced foam ergonomics.  

Stay Connected Above the Clouds

The airline has also announced that it will provide free Wi-Fi to all passengers by the end of 2025. The airline has signed with a state-owned satellite company Turksat, and subsidiary TCI Aircraft Interiors to add high-speed connectivity to its fleet. No matter if you need to catch up on work emails or share your journey with your friends and family, Turkish Airlines aims to keep you connected while in the sky.

In Summary

Turkish Airlines is one of the largest airlines globally in terms of its network (making it great for RTW fares!), and is also generally an excellent premium product. The reveal of its new Crystal Business Class shows its commitment to listening to passenger feedback and developing a product that suits their needs.
