American Airlines to roll out entertainment on demand across its entire Wi-Fi narrow body fleet

American Airlines (Dallas/Fort Worth) has announced the expansion of entertainment on demand – the airline’s inflight streaming video product – to approximately 400 Wi-Fi enabled aircraft by the end of 2012. American, a founding member of the oneworld® Alliance, was the first North American airline to offer inflight streaming video, which enables customers to wirelessly stream content such as movies and TV shows from an inflight library to select Wi-Fi-enabled laptops during flights.

The entertainment on demand product is currently available onboard American Airlines flights operated by 15 Boeing 767-200 aircraft – primarily transcontinental flights between New York JFK and Los Angeles and JFK and San Francisco. In addition, the streaming video product will be installed on more than 90 DC-9-82/83 (MD-80) aircraft before the end of 2011. The remainder of the Wi-Fi-enabled fleet, including additional DC-9-82/83 (MD-80) aircraft and Boeing 737-800 aircraft, will be equipped with streaming video by the end of 2012.
