Turkish Airlines debuts Crystal...

Seats feature an adjustable suite door and privacy panel

Turkish Airlines has unveiled its new luxury Crystal Business Class Suites, introducing them to the Middle East market for the first time.

The flag carrier, which features among the top 10 world’s best business class airlines in 2024, according to Skytrax, joins Qatar Airways in showcasing new business class cabins at Arabian Travel Market 2025, taking place 28 April to 1 May in Dubai.

First launched at the UK’s Farnborough International Airshow in July last year, Turkish Airlines' new Crystal suites provide a cocooning retreat enhanced privacy and comfort, and will be first introduced to the flag carrier’s new arrival aircraft, before being rolled out to its existing fleet, including Boeing 777-300-ER, 787, and Airbus A350-900, in the coming years.

Unfolding over 42 pods, the new Crystal cabin is the first from Turkish Airlines to feature an adjustable suite door for in-flight privacy, plus all come with lie-flat beds.

The staggered 1-2-1 layout means each seat has direct aisle access, with full visibility from every window suite, while every other row in the middle section has a pulldown divider, making it ideal for passengers travelling together.

Comfort is also a priority, with the new seats offering a wide 23-inch seat width with wider, higher footwell space.

Uniquely, the new cabin has been manufactured locally and designed in-house, by Turkish Airlines subsidiary TCI Aircraft Interiors, with plush leathers and fabrics used all sourced from Turkiye to reflect the flag carrier’s roots.

The new suites feature a lighter, warmer colour palette alongside natural materials, such as locally-sourced leather, a marble-style console table and rose-gold finishes.

Passengers will also enjoy wireless charging, adjustable ambient reading lights, a 22-inch high-definition screen and noise-reducing headphones.

At ATM, Turkish Airlines will also reveal its brand-new amenity kits, including one featuring Lanvin products, the other designed in collaboration with the Turkish National Commission for Unesco and celebrating Türkiye’s rich cultural heritage.

The kit draws inspiration from six World Heritage Sites and are made using sustainable materials, featuring skincare from Ex Nihilo.

The airline will also premiere its new promotional film for Türkiye, starring renowned actor and brand ambassador Burak Özçivit.

Commenting on the ATM reveals, Ahmet Bolat, Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee, said: “As the national flag carrier, we take great pride in presenting not only our latest premium offerings but also sharing the rich cultural heritage of Türkiye."

Visitors can find Turkish Airlines on stand EU6350 at ATM 2025 in Dubai.
