September 06 2018 - 5:15PM
American Airlines has activated free live TV on its first 100
domestic aircraft, with plans to extend live TV and high-speed
internet across its long-term mainline narrowbody fleet of more
than 700 aircraft during 2019. American is already the only U.S.
airline to offer live TV on international flights.
What you can watch Twelve live TV channels
powered by DISH on domestic flights:
- Bravo
- CBS
- CNBC
- CNN
- Disney Channel
- ESPN
|
- FOX
- NBC
- NFL Network
- Telemundo
- TNT
- USA
|
All channels stream directly to customers’ laptops, phones or
tablets free of charge. Live TV is easy to use and available from
gate to gate – customers can choose it from American’s lineup of
free entertainment that includes hundreds of movies and on-demand
television shows.
“Our customers have told us they want a living room experience
in the air – the ability to watch free entertainment, stream their
favorite shows on-demand, charge their phones and stay connected
from start to finish during their travels,” said Kurt Stache,
Senior Vice President for Marketing, Loyalty & Sales. “Free
live TV on our mainline domestic fleet is the latest step in making
that a reality, and it complements the live TV we offer on all of
our international widebody flights today.
“We are working quickly to update every part of our fleet to
give our customers excellent entertainment and connectivity options
no matter where they fly with us,” Stache said.
Where you’ll find it todayFree live TV is now
available on more than 100 aircraft equipped with Gogo 2Ku
high-speed Wi-Fi including all 48 Airbus A320s, which are receiving
in-seat power during 2019. It is also available on more than 60
A319s, which have power outlets in every row.
American’s entire long-haul international fleet features the
best of sports and news with five channels including CNNi, BBC and
Sport24.
What’s nextAmerican will add free live TV to
aircraft equipped with Viasat high-speed Wi-Fi, bringing both of
these features to American’s long-term mainline narrowbody fleet
during 2019. American has high-speed Wi-Fi on 240 aircraft
including all A321T three-class transcontinental aircraft.
American already offers customers more power outlets on mainline
aircraft than any other airline, and more are on the way as
American updates its mainline domestic fleet through 2021 to add
power throughout the cabin. American is also adding power outlets
throughout the cabin on two-class regional jets through 2020.
