With 13 consecutive SkyTrax’s Best In-Flight Entertainment awards to its name, Emirates is regarded as the benchmark in in-flight entertainment and at the forefront of innovation.

Lee Paver was one of the co-pilots for the Emirates Airlines event.

It was the first to install TV screens in every seat on every aircraft in its fleet in 1992 and the first airline to allow mobile phone use inflight in 2008. So on 23 June, the community was invited to the Emirates’ Rocking the Globe event at the Barnyard Theatre in Cresta Shopping Centre.

Regional Manager, Southern Africa Emirates, Fouad Caunyhe said the airline is proud to provide one of the most comprehensive and state-of-the-art entertainment and connectivity services in the skies.

The offering today includes 2 470 curated music channels, 347 TV channels, including live sports, 39 language options and content with audio descriptions (AD) and closed captions (CC) for the visually and hearing impaired. It would take a passenger some 43 trips between Johannesburg and Dubai to watch the entire collection of movies alone.
