Air Canada has launched Live TV on select
aircraft and domestic routes.
Live TV on Air Canada flights currently features
six Canadian English and French channels which are available as
part of the airline’s complimentary and extensive inflight
entertainment programming.
Live TV is presently available on domestic routes
from coast to coast operated with a Live TV-enabled aircraft.
Currently 40 Boeing 777, Boeing 787, Airbus A330
and Airbus A220 aircraft are Live TV-enabled and Air Canada
expects 50% of domestic flights operated by mainline aircraft to
offer Air Live TV by the second of quarter 2023.
Air Canada’s Live TV experience is delivered
through a satellite-connected, inflight entertainment solution and
comprises:
– TSN, TSN 2 and RDS delivering live sports
coverage for marquee sports events including soccer, hockey,
basketball, football, baseball, golf, professional motor racing,
and more;
– CTV News Channel delivering news from
communities across Canada and around the world as the country’s
24-hour all-news network;
– LCN, Quebec’s all-news station delivering news
and rich programming from morning to night; and
– BNN Bloomberg for business news, finance updates
and live market coverage.
“We are thrilled to launch Live TV,” said John
Moody, Senior Director – Product Design, at Air Canada. “Customers
will be able to enjoy content from great Canadian channels in both
English and French. Sports fans flying with us can enjoy the
exhilaration of watching regular season, playoff and championship
games in real time, while business news junkies will appreciate
remaining connected to market trends and current events, right
from their seat. As we continue elevating the customer experience,
we look forward to expanding Live TV to more flights, and bring
even more leading content and features in 2023.”
