FE Report
Qatar Airways unveiled its next generation inflight entertainment system onboard its newly-delivered Boeing 777 aircraft offering every passenger more than 700 entertainment options.
Rebranded Oryx Entertainment 'Multiplex in the Sky', there are more than 150 international movies, 150 hours of TV programming, over 50 games and 500 audio CDs for passengers to choose from.
Passengers have greater control of their entertainment from the comfort of their seat, by listening and watching on demand programmes at the time of their choice.
The flag carrier of the State of Qatar took delivery of the first of its 32 Boeing 777s aircraft with the Dash 300 Extended Range version flying into Doha International Airport direct from the US company's Seattle manufacturing base.
The first B777 aircraft is equipped with 335 seats split into two cabins. In Business Class there are 42 seats, each with 15.4-inch seat back wide TV screens, while Economy Class features 293 seats with each TV screen measuring 10.6 inches, all offering optimum viewing.
There will also be an opportunity to learn a host of languages through the Berlitz on-screen language guide and passengers can also read comprehensive books in minutes through the Executive Book Summaries guide.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said today marked an important day in the history of the airline with the delivery of its first Boeing aircraft - and with it a new interactive inflight entertainment system to be proud of.
