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.
