Emirates wins ‘Best Inflight Entertainment Award’ Globally at the 2024 Airline Excellence Awards
Last week, Emirates was crowned the global winner of the ‘Best
Inflight Entertainment Award’ in Airline Ratings 2024 Airline Excellence
Awards, announced online.
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.
Customers enjoying Emirates flights can access a world-class entertainment library of 6,500 channels which includes:
Emirates continually 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,
simply by browsing and pre-selecting movies or TV shows on the Emirates app,
which can then be synchronized to ice the moment they board, maximizing
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.
“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 just when you think it can’t do it better – it lifts the bar once again,” said Airlineratings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas.
