History of INFLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT

The fact is ... inflight "entertainment" for

passenger enjoyment was not the prime

motivation of the earliest air-borne

presentations. As a matter of record, the term

"inflight media event" is a much more accurate

label to describe the purpose of the first onboard

entertainment efforts.

Audio/video on-demand services, Sat TV/live TV,

games, flight information, shopping, in-flight

digital entertainment options.

Is this what the passenger needs?

Conclusion

With the next IFEC generation, the airline will be able to entertain the passenger in different forms and offer much more valuable real time information. Further more it will benefit for the IFEC technology in reducing aircraft operational cost and generating revenue in different part of the business, if proper resource are provided and allocated.

IFEC becomes the main interaction tool between the Airline and passenger.
