Qatar Airways has announced that it is offering a choice of up to 3,000 in-flight
entertainment options.
With this, the Doha-based carrier is providing passengers with “one of the world’s largest and best in-flight entertainment libraries”, it has said in a statement.
The airline, which previously offered up to 2,000 entertainment options, has increased its on-board entertainment options from this month to up to 3,000 options, offering a wide selection of up to 550 movies, 1,400 episodes of TV shows, 1,000 audio
selections and 50 games.
Passengers travelling with Qatar Airways in March will also find the full collection of seven Star Wars movies on board, including the latest instalment, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Other premieres on board this month include the final part of the Hunger Games series - Mockingjay Part Two, Creed, The 33, Trumbo and Macbeth. The latest family movies on board include Alvin the Chipmunks Road Chip, The Good Dinosaur, The Peanuts Movie and Pan.
“Qatar Airways has one of the most extensive selections of entertainment available in the skies on its award-winning Oryx One in-flight entertainment platform. As well as the full Star Wars collection, passengers can enjoy the full box set of Marvel movies, all the Harry Potter movies and 10 of the best James Bond movies, including the most recent instalment in the franchise – Spectre,” the statement notes.
Qatar Airways Group chief executive Akbar al-Baker said the stepping up of in-flight entertainment options for the airline’s passengers “reaffirmed Qatar Airways’ commitment to continuously upgrade its product offerings”.
“One of the reasons why we remain one of the world’s favourite airlines is because we constantly keep looking for ways to enhance the in-flight experience of our passengers. With our on-board content, we aim to offer something for passengers of all ages, and now with this increased content, our customers will be able to experience new entertainment options every time they travel,” said al-Baker.
“We are happy to bring ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ on board as the latest addition to our innovative on-board entertainment system, Oryx One,” said Salam Alshawa, Qatar Airways senior vice-president of marketing and
corporate communications.
Qatar Airways launched Oryx One, an enhanced interface for its in-flight
entertainment system, in 2015.
