In-flight Entertainment Market 2018 Global Key Leaders: FDS Avionics, Eagle Entertainment, Gogo, Inmarsat, Lufthansa Systems

Market Highlights:

In order to provide better and unique flying experience, airlines are equipping their fleets with advanced In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) systems. Moreover, connectivity within the flight has become an important catalyst in airline's day-to-day operations and it provides the operator with the opportunity to enhance customer loyalty and satisfaction. Airlines, across the world, are widely adopting Air-to-Ground (ATG) and satellite networks to avail this facility. Meanwhile, the conventional (embedded or seat-back) in-flight entertainment system implementation necessitates sizable investment and extensive cabling that adds bulk and weight to seats, causing the aircraft to burn fuel more quickly, ultimately increasing the cost of air travel. Therefore, owing to these factors, along with the emerging trend of personalization and wireless IFE concept, airlines are focusing on streaming content to passengers’ device.

Over the past decade, the airline industry has been tremendously influenced by copious changes in technology. Airline technology now cannot only transport travelers from one destination to another but can also provide an entertaining travel experience, tailored to meet the requirements of passengers. In the recent years, there has been an increase in the use of personal devices for availing in-flight entertainment service, and according to IATA Global Passenger Survey, nearly half of the North Asian passengers prefer to use their own devices for viewing digital content rather than the embedded equipment. When comparing with the seat-back in-flight entertainment display systems, personal devices are considered more beneficial by both passengers and airlines.
