It’s Showtime on Air India’s domestic flights

New Delhi: It is going to be “Showtime” for passengers on board Air India’s domestic flights. The public sector carrier is adding in-flight entertainment service in its latest Airbus family aircraft — 41 of the brand new aircraft scheduled to join its fleet.
Air India has entrusted Thales, the world leader in in-flight entertainment services, to install the best and latest in technology on its new aircraft at an estimated cost of Rs. 250 crore. All the new jetliners will be equipped with five video, one DVD and 12 audio channels, offering non-stop fun and entertainment to passengers.
Two new aircraft, delivered earlier, have not been equipped with Thales entertainment system.
The new in-flight entertainment system, named “Showtime,” will also have the “Moving Map,” providing information about the direction, location and other details of the flight on the personal screens to the passengers, Air India officials said here on Wednesday.
