Looking for in-flight entertainment?
• Air France offers a highly varied in-flight entertainment programme on board its long-haul aircraft, which is continually being upgraded thanks to partnerships.
Europe's largest cinema
Among the 85 available films in the video library, passengers can find 10 box-office hits, some thirty recent blockbusters, classic films, and a selection of world cinema films, all screened in their original language (Italian, English, German, Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Korean, Tamil, Brazilian, Hispanic, Arabic and African). This selection is specially designed to meet the variety of tastes and cultures of Air France customers, more than half of whom are non-French.
With the new programme of some 600 hours of viewing, Air France has become:
• Europe's biggest cinema by number of films,
• the European airline with the most seats equipped with in-seat video in all
cabins, with 33,000 screens,
• the airline offering the largest number of language versions (up to 9 for a single film). Air France is, for example, one of the only Western airlines to screen films in Tamil.
In addition, on its airfrance.com website, under the In-flight Entertainment heading, Air France will shortly be offering customers the possibility of viewing the trailers of the latest box-office hits.
Non-stop news bulletins
News is relayed from all angles (economic, sports, cultural, etc.). A daily sports news round-up in pictures is screened in French and English. Exclusively produced for Air France in partnership with Infosport, this programme presents all the sports news.
TV news bulletins are adapted to the destination. For example, the CCTV news on flights between Paris and China supplements other TV news bulletins (France 2/France 3, NHK, France 24, Euronews, etc.).
Since February 2008, following the news programmes on the News channel, Air France has been the only airline to present, in picture form, the weather in the world's major capitals. This programme is produced in partnership with EarthTV.
The best contemporary TV series and a variety of documentaries
Since February 2009, Air France has offered a new selection of 9 famous TV series, such as Damages with Glenn Close, Gossip Girl, Sex and the City, The Sopranos, etc.
Air France also offers showbiz, culture, travel, lifestyle and sports documentaries (with Infosport).
An extensive audio programme
A choice of 240 CDs offers a programme of over 3,000 titles. Air France has asked the FNAC, which has all the required expertise, to select the albums for some fifteen musical categories, from French light music to favourite classics, including jazz and pop rock.
The FNAC also presents its best picks and provides a selection of artists to discover, with their latest albums. 23 radio stations featuring all musical genres are also available. Wanting to offer its passengers the best available quality, Air France is the only airline to offer the Arkamis digital audio solution in all classes.
Images of landscapes overflow
Air France has added pictures of landscapes overflow to those it has screened since September 2007, in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA).
In this way, the landscapes overflow en route to China and Japan supplement those of existing routes such as Paris Singapore or Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore Paris.
Passengers can thus discover images of Russia (Siberia, the Volga), Mongolia (the Gobi Desert) or Mount Fuji in Japan.
