Kurt Stache, Senior Vice President for Marketing, Loyalty Sales:
“Our customers have told us they want a living room experience in the air – the ability to watch free entertainment, stream their favorite shows on-demand, charge their phones and stay connected from start to finish during their travels.
“Free live TV on our mainline domestic fleet is the latest step in making that a reality, and it complements the live TV we offer on all of our international widebody flights today.
“We are working quickly to update every part of our fleet to give our customers excellent entertainment and connectivity options no matter where they fly with us,”
