In a bid to steal a march on the never-ending competition in the aviation world, Turkish Airlines has finally revealed its much-anticipated Crystal Business Class cabins. Due to be retrofitted on its fleet of Boeing 777 aircraft in 2025, the upgrade is a significant improvement from its current offering, and as Arif Ali Gezmisoglu, senior vice president of marketing, says, it is based on detailed passenger feedback on the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 Business Class seats, which are the newest cabins in the airline’s existing fleet.
Unfolding over 42 pods, all with lie-flat beds and their own sliding doors for added privacy, the staggered 1-2-1 layout means each seat has direct aisle access, while every other row in the middle section has a pulldown divider, making it ideal for passengers travelling together.
