Delta refreshes IFE content
Delta has updated its entertainment library on Delta Studio including new partnerships with Starz and KidNation.
“Our dedication to bringing the very best entertainment onboard is never ending,” said Jaclyn Gonzales, Manager – In-Flight Entertainment. “Whether it’s binging a full season of a favourite TV show or discovering a new feature film, our team has hand-picked the perfect selection of entertainment to ensure customers have something new to enjoy when flying on Delta.”
Passengers travelling throughout August and September can access more than 240 films, with 16 new releases spanning action, comedy, documentary and drama genres. This includes a select number of highly anticipated new release films including A Quiet Place Part II, The United States vs. Billie Holiday, City of Lies and Here Today.
Delta is also refreshing TV shows with the addition of 182 new episodes of top shows onboard – including content from premium network Starz now available free of charge through Delta Studio. The partnership includes a feature collection including STARZ Originals Power Book II: Ghost, Hightown, Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult, The Spanish Princess and Party Down.
Ahead of the Emmys in September, customers can catch up on several Emmy-nominated titles on their next flight, including RuPaul’s Drag Race from MTV Entertainment Group, as well as Hulu Originals The Handmaids Tale and Shrill, among others.
Delta is also testing how it can offer full seasons of top performing shows. Selected based on previous viewership trends, featured shows include the tenth season of Friends, The Office (US), Bahamas Life, and Beat Bobby Flay.
The airline is also launching a new partnership with KidNation, which delivers family-friendly, wholesome educational entertainment through danceable songs and dynamic videos designed by artists, educators and child development experts.
“We’re so excited to partner with Delta as we introduce KidNation to the world,” said Bridges. “It’s so important for our children to have access to safe, high-quality and fun media where they can not only learn but see themselves represented proudly. Delta is the perfect vehicle for KidNation.com to take flight.”
KidNation’s enriching content focuses on key developmental areas such as health and wellness, education, and current social and cultural movements.
The refresh also gives an opportunity to celebrate the return of international travel, with 20 new films from more than eight countries. Among those, Delta will have onboard The Girl Who Wore Freedom – an independent film added in partnership with Delta’s Veterans Business Resource Group (BRG) – that details the connections made between the people of Normandy, France, and the American GIs who liberated them on D-Day.
