Emirates continues its record-breaking streak for its ice entertainment system which has been awarded the ‘World’s Best Airline Inflight Entertainment’ at the 2015 SKYTRAX World Airline Awards for the 11th consecutive year. The Skytrax World Airline Awards polled over 18 million business and leisure air travellers from more than 160 countries. The award was accepted by Patrick Brannelly, Emirates’ Divisional Vice President – Customer Experience, at the awards ceremony on 16 June, 2015 in Paris. Emirates additionally won an award for ‘Best First Class Comfort Amenities’.
Always pioneering, Emirates’ in-flight entertainment system continuously sets industry standards from being the first airline to launch personal TV screens in all seats in 1992, to Live TV in 2013 and free WiFi on its compatible aircraft in 2014. Now with over 2,100 channels on ice Digital Widescreen, Emirates continues to push boundaries in the depth and breadth of content it offers the global traveller. Emirates’ second award at the 2015 SKYTRAX World Airline Awards for Best First Class Comfort amenities highlights the popularity of its men’s and women’s kit with products from luxury Italian brand Bvlgari.
“We aim to stay creative, stay relevant, and keep building content that appeals to the broad cultural diaspora that travel on Emirates,” said Patrick Brannelly, Emirates’ Divisional Vice President – Customer Experience.
