MAS Increases In-Flight Entertainment Choices

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has increased the content of its in-flight movies, television (TV) programmes and songs library on all Boeing 737-800, 777-200, 747-400 and Airbus 330-300 aircraft in its fleet. In a statement Friday, MAS said starting this year, it has increased the in-flight entertainment (IFE) content by 100 per cent for both Hollywood movies from 30 to 60 and audio compact disc selections from 200 to 400, 80 per cent for TV content from 94 to 170 programmes and 50 per cent for international movies from 24 to 36. Its head of customer experience, Mohd Salleh Ahmad Tabrani, said the airline was always looking for ways to enhance the in-flight experience of its customers and offer them more choices. "They can now choose up to 60 Hollywood films, double the number offered when the IFE was first installed. "Included in this are new film titles like 'Happy Feet Two' and 'The Adventures of TinTin', plus the top 10 highest grossing movies of all times," he said. He said the increased content also meant the customers would be able to watch something new every time they travel. Mohd Salleh said the airline planned to extend this upgrade later this year to cover the contents of Going Places (monthly travel magazine), Select (in-flight entertainment guide) and Temptations (in-flight sales catalogue). -- BERNAMA
