ANA is next month introducing a new in-flight entertainment (IFE) system that will have 351 channels, including 51 movie channels, and programmes in 13 languages.
The airline said the new technology will represent a 40 per cent increase in content from March last year and a 400 per cent increase from January 2009.
Seventy per cent of the content screened will be in 13 languages, ANA said. The 13 languages are Japanese, English, French, German, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Thai, Tagalog and Hindi.
The carrier's IFE guide 'ANA Sky Channel' will also been redesigned.
The IFE system will have 52 film channels, 142 video channels, 148 audio channels and nine gaming channels.
It was last year announced that ANA is doubling the availability of inflight wifi across its international network and introducing it on select domestic routes (see news, October 13).
