MONTREAL — Air Canada has become the first airline in the world to offer Disney+ Originals through its in-flight entertainment (IFE) system.
Beginning this month, customers can enjoy a selection of episodes from beloved Disney+ Original series like ‘Limitless with Chris Hemsworth’ and ‘Cars on the Road,’ as well as Original movies such as ‘Disenchanted’ and ‘Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers.’
This marks Air Canada’s most recent investment in its family-focused travel experience, which John Moody, Managing Director, Product Design at Air Canada, says further solidifies its expansive range of leading content.
“Families with kids and enthusiasts alike will enjoy watching familiar favourites and exciting new Originals from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and more. Taking in a Disney+ Original is a great way for our global customers to start or end their journey with us,” said Moody.
Other recent family-focused air Canada collaborations with Disney have included Florida’s Walt Disney World Resort’s themed in-flight safety video launched for the summer travel period, a special Walt Disney World Resort themed children’s room at Toronto Pearson’s Transborder Maple Leaf Lounge, and a special aircraft livery celebrating the launch of Disney and Pixar’s acclaimed movie, ‘Turning Red,’ with more to come.
This year, Air Canada was named by Skytrax as the world’s most family friendly airline at the 2023 Skytrax World Airline Awards, Best Family-Friendly Airline in North America for the fifth consecutive year and Best Family-Friendly International Airline for the fourth consecutive year at the Wherever Awards. It was also recognized by Global Traveler as Best Airline for Onboard Entertainment for the fifth consecutive year, and by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) with the Passenger Choice Award for Best Entertainment in North America, earlier this year.
Air Canada offers 420+ movies, 1,000+ TV episodes, 130+ music albums, podcasts and more through its IFE system, complimentary for all customers.
