Passengers on South African Airways‘ widebody aircraft now have access to a brad range of inflight entertainment, thanks to a new content deal with Inflight Dublin. And the single-aisle fleet will also soon have entertainment on board, as the carrier rolls out the Everhub portable IFE solution.
IFD has vast experience in the region and can provide a first-class inflight entertainment solution, particularly the addition of content that highlights the rich culture and diversity of South Africa. – Myriam Bracke, Lead Guest Experience, South African Airways
“From our early days of providing inflight audio to now offering a full suite of content, as well as wireless IFE and digital services, we couldn’t be more excited to grow our strategic partnership with SAA,” explained John White, CEO, Inflight Dublin. “Inflight Dublin’s Everhub Wireless IFE product and our expertly tailored content will elevate SAA’s passengers’ experience to an unprecedented level.”
Under the agreement Inflight Dublin will provide entertainment spanning Hollywood films, classics, extensive box sets, foreign language films, and African content for the carrier. The companies are also partnering on a trial of the Everhub platform, with a portal branded for South African Airways, to deploy streaming entertainment options quickly and inexpensively on planes that do not carry screens today.
In addition to the video content the Everhub solution will offer games, a moving map, and other entertainment options.
