Emirates’ award-winning ice Digital Widescreen entertainment system
Emirates continues its record-breaking streak for its ice entertainment system which has been awarded the ‘World’s Best Airline In-flight Entertainment’ at the 2015 Skytrax World Airline Awards for the 11th consecutive year.
The Skytrax World Airline Awards polled over 18 million business and leisure air travellers from more than 160 countries. The award was accepted by Emirates’ Divisional Vice President – Customer Experience Patrick Brannelly at the ceremony on 16 June in Paris. Emirates additionally won an award for ‘Best First Class Comfort Amenities’.
Always pioneering, Emirates’ in-flight entertainment system continuously sets industry standards from being the first airline to launch personal TV screens in all seats in 1992, to Live TV in 2013 and free Wi-Fi on its compatible aircraft in 2014.
Now with over 2,100 channels on ice Digital Widescreen, Emirates continues to push boundaries in the depth and breadth of content it offers the global traveller. Emirates’ second award at the 2015 SKYTRAX World Airline Awards for Best First Class Comfort amenities highlights the popularity of its men’s and women’s kit with products from luxury Italian brand Bvlgari.
“These awards are particularly gratifying as they reflect a vote of confidence from global travellers, who appreciate our ongoing efforts to deliver high-quality content. We don’t believe in resting on our laurels, and will keep pushing the limits of what is possible. We aim to stay creative, stay relevant, and keep building content that appeals to the broad cultural diaspora that travel on Emirates,” said Brannelly. “Receiving this honour for the 11th year is truly a testament to our unrelenting effort to offer a consistently great product that surprises and delights customers, and I believe that this is what sets us apart.”
“I congratulate Emirates on its long standing winning record in taking the award for the Best Airline In-flight Entertainment. It’s a huge accomplishment to win this fantastic customer recognition for in-flight entertainment year after year, and the team must be very proud. As an onboard product offering, in-flight entertainment continues to grow in importance for customer satisfaction rankings, and it’s a richly deserved recognition to remain a favourite airline for this amongst passengers,” said SKYTRAX CEO Edward Plaisted.
