Qatar Airways' chief executive Akbar Al Baker has confirmed that the carrier will divulge a fresh business class next year, regardless of its present fully flat bed in business class being less than 2 years old. The shift will come right away after the carrier's move from T3 to T4 at London Heathrow and the opening of its own lounge at London Heathrow in the first quarter of 2011.


Mr Al Baker stated that when Qatar Airways shifts from Terminal 3 to Terminal 4 in November 2010, the carrier will be in the concluding stages of finishing its new lounge for both business and first class flyers.


Mr Al Baker also stated that Qatar Airways is considering launching its flagship B777-300ER aircraft on the London Doha route, though denied this was due to the flyers utilizing the carrier to Doha and then on to destinations such as Sydney would witness an inconsistent product in business class.
