Air New Zealand is set to elevate the in-flight experience for sports enthusiasts by introducing live TV entertainment on its widebody fleet, including the 787 and 777 aircraft.

This innovative feature, launching with a live TV entertainment trial, aims to provide passengers with an immersive sports-watching experience at 33,000 feet.

The live TV trial, beginning with today’s rollout, will allow Air New Zealand travellers to enjoy live sports events, including upcoming All Blacks matches, on their journey. This initiative is part of the airline’s ongoing efforts to enhance in-flight entertainment options for its customers.

Air New Zealand encourages passengers to embrace the live sports experience while respecting fellow travelers. The airline’s “Onboard Officials” guidelines emphasize responsible conduct, such as staying seated while cheering, respecting others’ preferences, and being courteous when sharing armrest space.

Leanne Geraghty, Chief Customer and Sales Officer of Air New Zealand, emphasizes the airline’s commitment to providing an unparalleled entertainment experience to passengers. With WiFi enabled across its widebody fleet, the addition of live sport programming aims to cater to sports enthusiasts and ensure they never miss out on a crucial moment of their favorite games.

The airline’s live TV offering will feature Sport 24, provided by Panasonic Avionics. This channel offers access to a variety of prominent sporting events, ranging from the Rugby World Cup and Premier League to the US Open, NRL, AFL, and NFL. The introduction of live TV onboard aligns with Air New Zealand’s goal of enhancing passenger comfort and satisfaction while fostering a positive and considerate in-flight environment for all travelers.
