FE Report
Innovation and investment in cutting-edge in-flight entertainment (IFE) continues to reap rewards for Emirates Airline, as it swept three top accolades at the World Airline Entertainment Association's (WAEA) Avion awards for in-flight entertainment.
Emirates was lauded for Best IFE in the World -- for airlines with a fleet larger than 25 aircraft, Best IFE in Me Middle East, and Best IFE Achievenient -- for the airline's unique and creative customer offering during the 2006 FIFA World Cup where it successfully screened all football matches within hours of the game being played, and provided live score updates via its IFE system throughout its fleet.
Emirates recently unveiled its cutting-edge ice Digital Widescreen system which features many more firsts in the airline industry -- including the ability for passengers to personalise their IFE experience by creating their own music Playlists, and view digital photographs by connecting their personal USB device to their personal IFE screen, amongst many other features.
