Emirates Inflight Entertainment wins SKYTRAX Award for eighth consecutive year

Emirates award-winning Inflight Entertainment (IFE) system, ice Digital Widescreen (‘ice’ stands for information, communications and entertainment), offers a staggering choice of over 1,400 channels of entertainment; including up to 300 movies from around the world, hundreds of TV choices and thousands of music tracks from contemporary to classical. As clear evidence of Emirates’ ongoing commitment to product quality and innovation in providing the industry’s best IFE, in March the airline introduced a new Graphical User Interface (GUI) which makes content and system features easier to navigate via a “swiping” or “scrolling” functionality. Furthermore, passengers aboard Emirates new Boeing 777 aircraft can use the ice system on larger personal TV screens with high definition (HD) resolution: 27-inch in First Class, 20-inch in Business Class and 12.1 inch in Economy Class; making the latter the biggest in the world. 

“Since becoming the first airline to install TVs in every seat on every aircraft back in 1992, Emirates has focused on continually investing in and improving our inflight entertainment experience for our passengers. To receive the prestigious SKYTRAX ‘World's Best Airline Inflight Entertainment’ award for the eighth year in a row is not only a testament to our efforts but illustrates our passenger’s appreciation of our ice system; that is the true reward for us,” said Patrick Brannelly, Emirates’ vice president corporate communications product, publishing, digital & events. “We would like to thank our loyal passengers for choosing Emirates again this year and, as always, we welcome their input and feedback on how we can continue to improve our offerings to ensure they have the best entertainment experience in the air.”
