Aeroflot has introduced a new concept of its multimedia inflight entertainment (IFE) programme with an increased variety of choices and frequency of content catalogue update.
From January 2022, at least 60 Russian and international film premieres and 40 new movie releases with an IMDb rating of 6 and up will be added to the IFE monthly. About half of most recent film releases will be supplied by the Hollywood studios and biggest rights holders. This serves as a guarantee of high quality, premium level and relevance of content. Aeroflot passengers will be among the first to see the best and most anticipated new films.
The IFE system will soon feature new trending genres: newms (short educational animated videos), podcasts, video interviews with celebs. The selection of award-winning movies and array of festival films available to passengers will expand. The catalogue section of Russian and Soviet films will be enhanced. Passengers with disabilities will be offered a wider choice of content with captions and audio descriptions.
The IFE system will deliver at least 220 movies and 200 episodes of TV series and shows. A new catalogue rubricator enhanced with an intuitive search function currently developed will improve usability for travellers.
Aeroflot’s IFE system is a cutting-edge multimedia portal containing about 5,000 items of video, audio, educational, infotainment and game content. Almost all Western-built aircraft in the airline’s fleet are equipped with IFE system. IFE programme is available in all classes of service on Airbus A350, Airbus A330, Boeing 777, Boeing 737, Airbus A320/A321NEO and most of Airbus A320/A321 aircraft.
