In-flight entertainment is taking the world by storm, and the fever has reached SriLankan Airlines, too. The airline is all set to introduce wireless in-flight entertainment on select narrow-body A320 aircraft, enabling passengers to seamlessly stream content on their own devices.
The new technology means that passengers on certain short-haul flights can now experience a greater degree of personalization and convenience while enjoying their favorite movies, music, and more onboard.
Excited to announce the onboard entertainment content with enhanced accessibility, Maria Sathasivam, manager, Product Development, SriLankan Airlines, says that this was the most natural step for SriLankan Airlines to join the ranks of global carriers offering wireless in-flight entertainment. “Wireless entertainment is emerging as a game-changer in the industry, offering multiple advantages for both customers and airlines,” Sathasivan further adds.
Passengers can use their smartphones, tablets or laptops to access and stream on-demand content onboard via the airline’s Wi-Fi network, SkyPlus, without the need for seatback screens. Powered by the wireless streaming solution, Everhub, passengers are instantly connected to SriLankan’s in-flight entertainment system, featuring an expertly curated library with something for everyone.
From the latest Hollywood blockbusters to regional favourites, the library contains hours of movies and TV shows in a variety of languages and genres, including action, comedy, drama, adventure, kids, musical, and sports. Passengers can also enjoy over 100 handpicked audio albums, featuring music for every listener, from international hits to local classics.
With this technology, SriLankan Airlines’ in-flight entertainment will also become more environmentally friendly by going wireless. Wireless entertainment systems are lightweight, contributing to fuel efficiency and savings in the long run, all while ensuring that passengers have on-demand access to the latest content for a more engaging and enjoyable experience.
