Budget carrier Tigerair Australia is moving upmarket with plans for new inflight entertainment and upgraded seating on its aircraft.
The carrier has sealed a major inflight entertainment (IFE) content partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and Fox Networks Group, which woll provide customers with access to a broad range of recent release movie and TV titles.
The deal would be the first of its kind for Tigerair and Fox and was confirmed at the Airline Passenger Experience Expo in California.
Once aircraft are installed with the new inflight entertainment, Tigerair will be the only Australian low-cost carrier to offer IFE across its entire domestic aircraft fleet.
Movies and TV shows would be provided on a pay-per-view basis.
Tigerair has also announced it will install state-of-the-art, slim line leather seats across its fleet of B737 aircraft from March 2018.
Features of the new seats include enhanced comfort, adjustable headrests, an additional storage pocket for personal items and a built in tablet/phone holder on the back of the seat complementing the airline’s new IFE product.
The introduction of slim line seats will result in an additional six seats being added to Tigerair’s B737 cabin configuration however, the airline says there will be no impact on passenger and crew space and comfort with seat pitch/legroom, toilet size and galley size all remaining the same.
