Emirates Airline has launched its next generation, cutting-edge ice digital widescreen system which features the airline world's largest wide-screen TVs measuring 23 inches in first class, 17 inches in business class and 10.6 inches in economy.
The airline said this ground-breaking new system represents a significant enhancement in the overall passenger experience and provides an authentic home-cinema experience. "Of course, we've also bumped up the programming choice so there's even more movies, TV and audio as well as over 100 games to play," said Mike Simon, Emirates divisional senior vice president, corporate communications.
The system is currently available on half of Emirates' passenger fleet which has been voted best in in-flight entertainment in the world in 2005 and 2006. The digital widescreen system first debuted on the Emirates Dubai-Paris service. Over the next 18 months, the airline will receive 24 new aircraft fitted with this new product.
New features include My USB, which allows passengers to view their holiday photos onscreen during the flight home, and My Playlist, which makes it possible for passengers to create their own compilation from the nearly 10,000 tracks of music available.
Passengers in first class and business class can select their entertainment through wireless handset controllers, featuring a seven-inch touch screen interface.
Every seat is also equipped with an advanced ice TV remote control with a colour display. Laptop charging points are provided on every seat in first class and business class, and in economy class cabins there are several charging points per seat row.
Passengers are also kept up-to-date with the latest news headlines. These are updated every hour throughout the flight.
Emirates operates to 92 cities in 59 countries, including Malta with five flights weekly between Malta and Dubai via Larnaca in Cyprus.
