Premium passengers travelling on AA routes served by B767 aircraft, including several London services, will soon benefit from Samsung tablets loaded with IFE.
Following an announcement earlier this year (see online news June 14), American Airlines has begun rolling out Samsung Galaxy IFE tablets for business and first class passengers travelling on its B767-200 and -300 aircraft.
The tablets have a 10.6-inch screen, and will initially feature over 70 movies including 30 new releases, along with TV programmes and audio channels. Additional functionality will be rolled out over time, including e-books and wifi internet access on certain aircraft from the first quarter of 2012.
London routes featuring AA’s B767 aircraft (on selected services) include Dallas Fort Worth, Miami, Chicago and Raleigh Durham.
Selected European flights to Frankfurt, Milan, Zurich, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid also feature the B767, as do transcontinental services from New York JFK to LA, JFK to San Francisco, Miami to San Francisco and Miami to LA. Flights between Boston and LA served by B757 aircraft will also feature the new Samsung offering.
