Emirates Tears Out In-Flight Entertainment Screens in Favor of Larger Ones

This isn’t about the industry’s largest seat-back screens or more content than you can consume on 100 trips around the world. It’s about personalization. Giving passengers what they value most is the new brand loyalty builder. The key for airlines, which serve global markets, is to understand that what passengers value most differs by region, by demographic, and from individual to individual.

JetBlue Moves Forward With All-Broadband Fleet and Amazon Prime Streaming

Somebody has to pay the bill for all that Wi-Fi power, but JetBlue has found it more profitable to give big corporations the partnership incentives they need to help fund the Fly-Fi service, rather than pick at passengers’ pockets for nickels and dimes.

3 Stats That Forecast the Rapid Growth of In-Flight Connectivity

The growth of connectivity and entertainment in-flight is both encouraging and impressive. We still feel the birds-eye view from the window is the most thrilling and entertaining thing about being on a plane, but it's great to have something to do when the lights are off.

Global Passengers More Willing to Pay for In-Flight Wi-Fi Than U.S. Flyers
