Qantas customers are set to enjoy a new standard of luxury on international flights from Asia, Hawaii and key domestic routes, with the airline unveiling the design of new Business Suites to feature on its A330 fleet.

They are to be progressively introduced from later this year, and are designed in collaboration with Marc Newson, the new Business Suite will be available on all 28 of Qantas’ A330 aircraft.

In a world first, the first seats to allow customers to recline in their seat from take-off through to landing, the Suites also offer fully-flat beds and direct aisle access for every Business Class passenger in a 1-2-1 layout.

Qantas Group chief executive officer Alan Joyce, said the airline was excited to unveil the Business Suite, as it will redefine the inflight experience for customers.

“We believe this product will deliver the best travel experience between Asia and Australia, and probably the best domestic travel experience anywhere in the world. We can’t wait for our customers to experience it for themselves,” Mr Joyce said.

Mr Joyce said they have listened to what matters most to Qantas customers and done extensive ergonomic trials to deliver the highest levels of comfort, privacy and intuitive design.

“There’s enough space to eat while continuing to work, which is something our business customers said was very important to them, and plenty of storage room to keep the range of electronic devices that people now travel with,” Mr Joyce said.

The work to refresh the aircraft interiors will start at Qantas’ heavy maintenance facility in Brisbane next month, the first of the domestic refurbished A330 aircraft will take to the skies in late December.
