Qatar Airways has won the ‘Airline of the Year’ award on Saturday 25 March at the 2017 Air Transport Awards for its innovation, service, hospitality and leading product design.

The awards ceremony, held at the Latrou Residence in Ekali, Greece, recognized Qatar Airways as the world’s leading airline, bestowing it with the highest honour of the evening, at an event attended by the world’s leading airline executives.

The award was given to Qatar Airways for its outstanding passenger experience innovations with regards to both product and service, including the airlines' recently launched new Qsuite for Business Class.

QSuite features the industry’s first-ever double bed available in Business Class, with privacy panels that stow away, allowing passengers in adjoining seats to create their own private room.

Adjustable panels and movable TV monitors on the centre four seats allow colleagues, friends or families travelling together to transform their space into a private suite, allowing them to work, dine and socialize together.
