\u201cEmirates has always regarded inflight entertainment as an essential aspect of our onboard experience, and we were in fact the first airline to put personal screens onto every single seat onboard when that was far from the norm over 30 years ago. Today, Emirates ice remains unmatched in inflight entertainment content and experience, having won best-in-the-sky awards consecutively for the past 14 years. Our investment in next-generation Thales systems for our new A350 fleet will further our lead, enabling us to deliver even better experiences to our customers”, Adel al Redha, Emirates\u2019 Chief Operating Officer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game-changing technology in Thales\u2019 AVANT Up system features Optiq 4k QLED HDR displays – the only aircraft displays using Samsung\u2019s QLED technology to immerse viewers in more than a billion colors. This rich display capability provides the perfect medium for Emirates\u2019 unmatched ice inflight entertainment product which delivers over 5,000 channels of multi-language content including live TV, the latest box office movies, TV shows and music hits, and the world\u2019s first inflight shopping channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates\u2019 customers can also look forward to enhanced passenger connectivity with Optiq – the first smart display in the industry to offer two Bluetooth connections, built-in Wi-Fi for passengers to pair multiple devices including phones, tablets, headphones or even game controllers, while supporting up to 60 watts USB-C to fast-charge personal devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To further enrich passenger engagement, Emirates has chosen a variety of AVANT Up digital services including highly integrated personalisation features, expanded personal electronic device (PED) capabilities, and user interface enhancements which also enable visually impaired passengers to have an immersive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting a shared vision to innovate and shape future inflight experiences, Emirates and Thales also continue to collaborate on programmes through Dubai\u2019s Aviation X-Lab, an aviation-specific incubator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
