SINGAPORE, 26 March 2024: Emirates is the global winner of the ‘Best Inflight Entertainment Award’ in Airline Ratings 2024 Airline Excellence Awards, announced online last week.
Emirates scooped the top award for inflight entertainment from an extensive finalist list of global airlines due to its whopping 6,500 channels of high-quality and acclaimed content — the world’s largest entertainment library in the sky — making it a clear winner for the Best Inflight Entertainment award.
Emirates updates its inflight content every month, adding hundreds of movies, TV shows, podcasts, and music channels each month to its extensive entertainment library and securing exclusive partnerships with the best content providers.
Customers can also curate their own ice experience before their flight by browsing and pre-selecting movies or TV shows on the Emirates app. These can then be synchronised to ice the moment they board, maximising the seamless travel experience.
Emirates inflight entertainment journey began almost 30 years ago when it was one of the first airlines to introduce seat-back videos for economy-class passengers. Emirates is also committed to setting industry standards and accessibility for people of determination and was the first airline in the world to introduce Audio Descriptive soundtracks and Closed Captions on movies on an inflight entertainment system.
Airlineratings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas commented on the award: “Our editors were unanimous in their praise for Emirates ice system as a step above. That early investment in inflight entertainment has paid off for Emirates, and when you think it can’t do better, it lifts the bar once again.”
The AirineRatings.com Airline Excellence Awards are evaluated by an editorial team with many years of experience based on robust criteria, including product and safety ratings, passengers’ reviews on AirlineRatings.com and Trip Advisor, and overall profitability.
