Cathay Pacific claims that from August 2025 it will be one of the very few airlines to offer both 100 per cent seatback inflight entertainment and 100 per cent high-speed inflight connectivity across its fleet, setting what it says is a new standard for premium air travel.
Customers travelling on Cathay Pacific flights will be able to enjoy the airline’s IFE system and high-speed Wi-Fi in every cabin on every route.
General Manager Customer Experience Design, Guillaume Vivet, commented: “This significant milestone reflects Cathay Pacific’s long-standing commitment to and leadership in innovation and customer-centric design. We understand the importance our customers place on having access to top-notch entertainment and reliable connectivity when they travel. Whether for business or leisure, our customers will soon have access to both award-winning entertainment and unparalleled connectivity onboard all of our flights, making their journeys as memorable as their destinations.”
Since introducing seatback IFE for the first time in 1992, Cathay Pacific has continuously invested in inflight digital innovations to enhance the customer experience. The airline’s commitment to excellence was further solidified this year when it introduced 4K HDR, offering UHD screens and a broader colour range inflight to create a more immersive, enjoyable and intuitive viewing experience.
Cathay Pacific customers can enjoy a tailored experience featuring a curated IFE library with exclusive branded content. Furthermore, those travelling in First or Business class, as well as Cathay Diamond members, can enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi services on Cathay Pacific’s flights.
