IFE Services, Part of Global Eagle Entertainment, Develops Inflight Entertainment App for Iberia
Los Angeles, CA | May 28, 2014– IFE Services, a subsidiary of Global Eagle Entertainment (NASDAQ:ENT), announced today that it has developed Iberia’s new inflight entertainment (IFE) content app.
Called ‘IberiaOnBoard’, the freely downloadable app allows travellers to check out all of the IFE content available to them on their upcoming Iberia flights. Every movie and TV show is listed by genre and has a trailer with accompanying useful information including synopsis, cast, director, rating, duration and language availability. Music album information lists tracks and their times. A special Kids’ section showcases all of the specially selected children’s content on offer inflight.
Mobile app development is just one of many new products Global Eagle Entertainment has introduced to the airline industry recently as the world’s leading inflight entertainment content and connectivity provider continues its focus to innovate on behalf of clients.
A spokesperson for Iberia said: “The IberiaOnBoard app makes our inflight entertainment line up accessible to anyone with a mobile device before they board, enabling them to better plan their inflight experience in advance. We’re delighted by the app IFE Services developed in conjunction with our team and we look forward to bringing more innovative solutions to market as we continue to offer the best possible inflight experience to our customers.”
“Iberia has long been at the forefront of identifying and creating opportunities to deliver a better passenger experience,” said Andy McEwan, SVP Content for Global Eagle Entertainment. “The IberiaOnBoard app represents a very productive collaboration with Iberia to deliver inflight entertainment in a new and innovative way for the airline, and underscores IFE Services’, as part of Global Eagle, ability to deliver intelligent and intuitive inflight innovations that build on the increasing demand for inflight connectivity and access to entertainment.”
The headset is the most critical part of any IFE system. It defines the quality of audio delivery and its look and feel defines the quality of the Airline. The headset is probably responsible for more passenger complaints, and IFE reliability issues than any other IFE component - so why do most airlines leave its procurement to the catering department?”
