Airline Entertainment International - In this issue

NEW: Airline Entertainment International September 2009 is now available online! A special supplement for our IFE readership, providing detailed coverage of the following hot topics:

Ancillary revenue: Earning significant extra cash from IFE and passenger communications has long been a Holy Grail for the airlines, but now the disastrous state of their business has added new urgency to their efforts

Connectivity: The argument about passenger demand for onboard connectivity is over, but it’s still anybody’s guess as to which technology will dominate in the long run

Content delivery: For years the antiquated ‘Sneakernet’ that delivers content to the aircraft on the ground has made IFE an anomaly in an increasingly wired world – How close to realisation is the vision of end-to-end network delivery?

Handhelds: The apparently low costs of entry have attracted a crowd of hopefuls to the handheld IFE market over recent years, but now there are just two main contenders, with a pack of B-listers fighting for the scraps

PLUS: Exclusive interviews with IFE managers and decision-makers at the major airlines:

Dee Brady: Q&A with British Airways' IFE programming manager

Christian Köerfgen: Q&A with Lufthansa's VP of product management and innovation
