Air Canada Enhances Inflight Entertainment

Air Canada has expanded the selection on its Inflight Entertainment System to offer customers twice as many movies to choose from than before.

The enriched personalized seatback system will give each customer free access to a menu of up to 150 movies ranging from the latest Hollywood blockbuster to classic art house and international films.

"Air Canada customers already love our award winning, seatback entertainment system because of the wide variety of movies, television and music it provides on-demand in a digital format.

Our on-board entertainment is available gate-to-gate and is free of charge to all customers," said Craig Landry, Vice President of Marketing at Air Canada.
