 Emirates Airline has continued its commitment to innovation by today launching its next generation, ice Digital Widescreen system.
Available in all classes, the new system represents a significant enhancement in the overall passenger experience. It features the airline world’s largest wide-screen TVs measuring 23” in first class, 17” in business class and 10.6” in economy, and provides an authentic home-cinema experience.
Emirates’ ice Digital Widescreen system has been developed over the past three years – focussing on adding innovative features.
New features include ‘My USB’, which allows passengers to view their holiday photos onscreen during the flight home, and ‘My Playlist’, which makes it possible for passengers to create their own compilation from the nearly 10,000 tracks of music available.
First and Business Class passengers of the new Emirates fleet can select their entertainment through Emirates wireless handset controllers, featuring a 7” touch screen interface. In addition, the wireless controllers can adjust seat position, lighting and massage functions.
Every seat is also equipped with an advanced ice TV remote control with a colour display. Passengers can simply enter the channel number they want and go straight to that channel, just as if they were using their TV remote control at home. The handset also features a full qwerty keyboard, helpful for sending SMS or emails from the flight, while also doubling as a satellite telephone and games controller.
Laptop charging points are provided at every seat in First Class and Business Class, and in Economy class cabins, there are several charging points per seat row.
Passengers can now see a full 3-D animated model of their aircraft as it flies en-route to the destination, highlighting cities and points of interest on the way.
Passengers are also kept up-to-date with the latest news headlines – updated every hour throughout the flight.
