Cathay Pacific’s award-winning inflight entertainment just got better with Disney+ 

Cathay Pacific continues to deliver on its commitment to provide customers with  an unrivalled inflight entertainment experience by bringing them the best of Disney,  Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic right at their fingertips with an  exciting new collaboration with Disney+. Hong Kong’s home carrier is now the first  airline in Asia-Pacific to feature Disney+ Original titles as part of its award-winning  inflight entertainment experience.

Beginning 1 December, customers onboard Cathay Pacific flights can explore  more than 100 hours of films, series and documentaries from Disney, Pixar, Marvel,  Star Wars and National Geographic. This includes hours of exclusive Disney+  entertainment content never before available on Cathay Pacific.

Particular highlights that will soon be available to Cathay Pacific customers include  series such as the first two episodes of Marvel Studios’ Loki (Season 1) and Obi Wan Kenobi (Season 1), movies such as Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers and  Disenchanted, documentaries like Welcome to Earth and Limitless with Chris  Hemsworth, and family shows like Muppets Now.

Cathay Pacific General Manager Customer Experience and Design Vivian Lo said:  “We are delighted to be the first in Asia-Pacific to bring the original titles and  stories from Disney+ to our customers onboard. From beloved classics to  blockbuster originals, captivating series, documentaries and family content, there  is now an even wider selection of thoughtfully curated entertainment for  customers on board Cathay Pacific.

“We are extremely proud of the industry-leading inflight entertainment we provide and we understand the importance many of our customers place on entertainment  as a differentiator when choosing who they fly with. By delivering premium brands  and titles from Disney+, we are continuing our commitment to offer an unparalleled  entertainment experience.”

Earlier this year, Cathay Pacific was awarded the World’s Best Inflight  Entertainment Award for 2023 at the SKYTRAX World Airline Awards. Cathay  Pacific already has the largest inflight movie and TV library in Asia-Pacific and  seatback entertainment is equipped on every aircraft, in every seat.

Cathay Pacific has also invested in inflight entertainment technology onboard its  aircraft. With the Airbus A321neo – the newest aircraft to join its fleet – Cathay  Pacific was the first airline in the world to provide 4K ultra-high-definition screens,  a 4K video-on-demand experience as well as Bluetooth audio streaming across all  cabins, enabling customers to watch 4K Hollywood and Asian blockbusters using  their own Bluetooth-enabled headphones.

Meanwhile with the A350, the airline introduced a new graphical user interface (GUI)  that offers customers an intuitive user experience and makes navigating content  even easier. With a dark theme that makes for more comfortable viewing and  reduces disturbance for other passengers, as well as interactive flight maps,  customers can enjoy a truly seamless inflight entertainment experience. The new  interface will be progressively introduced to other aircraft types.
