Revolutionising Passenger Experience with Wireless Entertainment
SriLankan Airlines has unveiled its latest wireless in-flight entertainment system, elevating passenger experience on select narrow-body A320 aircraft. This cutting-edge innovation allows passengers to seamlessly stream their favourite content on personal devices, enhancing comfort and convenience during flights. The introduction of this technology marks a significant step in the airline’s commitment to providing state-of-the-art travel experiences.
Seamless Connectivity with SkyPlus Wi-Fi Network
Passengers onboard select short-haul flights can now access entertainment through SriLankan Airlines’ proprietary SkyPlus Wi-Fi network. The wireless streaming solution, Everhub, powers the new entertainment platform, offering an extensive array of on-demand content without the need for traditional seatback screens. By simply connecting their smartphones, tablets, or laptops to the SkyPlus network, travellers can instantly enjoy a more personalised and engaging journey.
Extensive Content Library for Every Taste
The wireless in-flight entertainment system boasts an expansive library of movies, TV shows, and music catering to a wide variety of preferences. Passengers can select from the latest Hollywood blockbusters, popular regional favourites, and timeless classics across genres such as action, comedy, drama, adventure, musicals, and sports.
In addition to visual content, the entertainment system offers over 100 curated audio albums, featuring international chart-toppers and local music collections. Whether seeking a relaxing playlist or upbeat hits, the library ensures there is something for everyone.
Customer-Centric Innovation
Maria Sathasivam, Manager Product Development of SriLankan Airlines, commented on this latest product enhancement: “We are excited to make our award-winning onboard entertainment content even more accessible to our loyal customers. Wireless entertainment is emerging as a game-changer in the industry, offering multiple advantages for both customers and airlines. As an airline that embraces innovation, with passenger experience at the heart of everything we do, it is a natural step for SriLankan Airlines to join the ranks of global carriers offering wireless in-flight entertainment.”
This initiative underscores SriLankan Airlines’ position as a forward-thinking carrier, continually adopting emerging technologies to improve passenger satisfaction.
Sustainability and Fuel Efficiency
Beyond enhancing the passenger experience, the wireless in-flight entertainment system also supports the airline’s sustainability goals. By eliminating bulky seatback screens, the system significantly reduces aircraft weight, contributing to greater fuel efficiency and lowering carbon emissions. This aligns with SriLankan Airlines’ ongoing efforts to adopt eco-friendly practices while delivering top-tier services.
