A cutting-edge version of KrisWorld, Singapore Airlines’ award winning inflight
entertainment (IFE) system will be introduced as the airline welcomes new
aircraft into its fleet later this year.
The world’s first carrier to launch the eX2™ IFE system by Panasonic Avionics
Corporation, Singapore Airlines’ latest version of KrisWorld will offer an
unprecedented number of on-demand entertainment and information options, and
greater interactivity.
Programmes will also be displayed on larger, high-resolution screens across
all three classes in the airline’s new Boeing 777-300ER (Extended Range) and
Airbus A380 super-jumbo.
“The new KrisWorld represents the future of inflight entertainment and is
designed to cater to the demands of our customers who increasingly want to do
more with their time when inflight,” said Mr Yap Kim Wah, Singapore Airlines
Senior Vice-President Product and Services.
“So besides offering more high quality movies, TV programmes and music CDs,
we are also harnessing the capabilities of the eX2 system to offer new
interactive learning programmes and applications,” added Mr Yap.
The current version of KrisWorld offers an extensive selection of
entertainment options, including 80 movies, up to 100 TV programmes, 180 music
CD albums and audio books, 90 video games, as well as the ever-popular
interactive language learning programme Berlitz Word Traveler.
More details of the next generation KrisWorld are expected to be announced at
the carrier’s new cabin product launch on 17 October. |
