Ever wondered which airlines offer the best in-flight entertainment (known in the industry as ‘IFE’)? The 19th WAEA Avion Awards, the presentation of which was held in Toronto earlier this month, exist to recognise this particular aspect of the airline industry. The best overall winners, large and small, are as follows:
Best Overall IFE – Large Airlines
Winner: Emirates
1st Runner-Up: Singapore Airlines
2nd Runner-Up: Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd.
Best Overall IFE – Small Airlines
Winner: Jet Airways (India) Ltd.
1st Runner-Up: Etihad Airways
2nd Runner-Up: SriLankan Airlines
(For the purpose of the awards, a large airline is defined as one with more than 25 aircraft.)
I’m always glad to read that Emirates have won awards because they really are a good airline, especially for Business Class. Too often BA win awards despite being Bl**dy Awful.
I agree Emirates are a great airline – an extensive network, great service and an enjoyable experience. I haven’t had any bad experiences with British Airways so cannot comment, obviously kay has!
