Dubai-based Emirates, one of fastest growing airlines in the world, continues its record-breaking streak for its ice entertainment system which has been awarded the ‘World's Best Airline Inflight Entertainment’ at the recent 2015 SKYTRAX World Airline Awards for the eleventh consecutive year. 

The SKYTRAX World Airline Awards polled over 18 million business and leisure air travellers from more than 160 countries. Emirates additionally won an award for ‘Best First Class Comfort Amenities’.

Always pioneering, Emirates’ in-flight entertainment system continuously sets industry standards from being the first airline to launch personal TV screens in all seats in 1992, to Live TV in 2013 and free WiFi on its compatible aircraft in 2014.

Now with over 2,100 channels on ice Digital Widescreen, Emirates continues to push boundaries in the depth and breadth of content it offers the global travellers.

Emirates’ second award at the 2015 SKYTRAX World Airline Awards for Best First Class Comfort amenities highlights the popularity of its men’s and women’s kit with products from luxury Italian brand Bvlgari.

“These awards are particularly gratifying as they reflect a vote of confidence from global travellers, who appreciate our ongoing efforts to deliver high-quality content. We aim to stay creative, stay relevant, and keep building content that appeals to the broad cultural diaspora that travel on Emirates,” said Patrick Brannelly, Emirates’ Divisional Vice President – Customer Experience.

“Receiving this honour for the eleventh year is truly a testament to our unrelenting effort to offer a consistently great product that surprises and delights customers, and I believe that this is what sets us apart,” Brannelly added.

"I congratulate Emirates on its long standing winning record in taking the award for the Best Airline Inflight Entertainment. As an onboard product offering, inflight entertainment continues to grow in importance for customer satisfaction rankings, and it’s a richly deserved recognition to remain a favourite airline for this amongst passengers" said Edward Plaisted, CEO of SKYTRAX.
