Emirates inflight entertainment journey began

seat-back videos for economy-class passengers. Emirates is also committed to
setting industry standards and accessibility for people of determination and
was the first airline in the world to introduce Audio Descriptive soundtracks
and Closed Captions on movies on an inflight entertainment system.
Airlineratings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas
commented on the award:
“Our editors were unanimous in their praise for
Emirates ice system as a step above. That early investment in inflight
entertainment has paid off for Emirates and just when you think it can’t do it
better – it lifts the bar once again.”
