Emirates and Spotify Collaborate to Raise the Bar for In-Flight Entertainment
Offering passengers a wider range of music and podcasts to enjoy during their flights.
Spotify and Emirates have joined forces to elevate inflight entertainment, introducing passengers to an enriched audio experience during their journeys. Starting today, Emirates travellers can dive into a curated selection of music and podcasts through Spotify’s expertly designed content on Emirates' award-winning inflight entertainment system, known as Ice.
Diverse Content Collection for Passengers
This partnership brings an array of Spotify’s top podcasts and signature playlists to passengers. Through ice, Emirates offers over 140 podcast episodes across a variety of genres, including business, sports, entertainment, and true crime. Featured shows include popular titles such as ‘What Now? with Trevor Noah’, ‘The Bill Simmons Podcast’, ‘Case 63’, and many more.
Signature Playlists for Every Musical Taste
For music enthusiasts, Spotify’s signature playlists have been transformed into mixtapes curated by Spotify’s editorial team. Monthly updates ensure a fresh selection, with fan favourites like RapCaviar Mixtape, Viva Latino Mixtape, Jazz Classics Mixtape, and Arabic Classics now available onboard. Passengers can enjoy an extensive range of music tailored to every taste, adding a new dimension to the inflight experience.
Personalize Your Journey with Custom Playlists
Emirates passengers can further personalize their journey by creating custom playlists on the Emirates Mobile App, which can then be synced onboard for a seamless and tailored experience. For those who want to continue their listening journey post-flight, QR codes on select playlists and podcast episodes enable passengers to easily access content on Spotify after landing, extending the inflight entertainment experience well beyond their time in air.
“At Spotify, we want to be everywhere our listeners are so we're thrilled to partner with Emirates to deliver best-in-class playlist and podcast entertainment for flyers around the world,” said Ian Geller, VP of Business Development at Spotify. “From signature playlists to top podcasts, we're bringing Emirates customers an inspiring, curated experience - at 30,000 feet and beyond.”
“Emirates is proud to bring some of Spotify’s best podcasts and playlists to ice, continuing to provide a best-in-class inflight entertainment experience for all our customers. Spotify fans will be happy to see their favourite content onboard, and we are excited to introduce great conversations and music to new audiences across our global customer base”, said Patrick Brannelly, SVP Inflight Entertainment & Connectivity Emirates.
