Etihad Airways is to introduce a new interactive Airshow TV channel across its fleet of aircraft.
The new channel will be launched in June and allows passengers to view flight path, destination and flight information in extensive detail, high definition and on demand.
A second upgrade is scheduled for 2008 and will offer passengers live network news feeds, airport arrival and connecting gate information, airport terminal maps, and destination city guides.
The multimedia platform captures real-time flight information from the aircraft’s flight management computer, long-range navigation system and aircraft communication system.
