Qatar Airways Group chief executive, Akbar Al Baker said that the stepping up of inflight entertainment options for the airline’s passengers reaffirms Qatar Airways’ commitment to continuously upgrade its product offerings. 

“One of the reasons why we remain one of the world’s favourite airlines is because we constantly keep looking for ways to enhance the inflight experience of our passengers. With our on board content, we aim to offer something for passengers of all ages, and now with this increased content, our customers will be able to experience new entertainment options every time they travel. Going to their favourite places for leisure or business will now be more interesting, entertaining and relaxing,” said Al Baker. 

“We are happy to bring Star Wars: The Force Awakens on board as the latest addition to our innovative on board entertainment system, Oryx One. Stars Wars fans can now choose from the full collection of all seven movies to watch during their flights as well as the many other entertainment options on board,” said Ms. Salam Alshawa, Qatar Airways senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. “Offering a wide selection of movies, TV, games and music on board is a key element in providing our passengers with the ultimate comfort on board all Qatar Airways flights, and we continue to update our collection every month to keep the selection fresh and current.”
