Apple TV+ shows are already available on American Airline flights, and the streamer recently signed a deal to have its programming on France's Canel+ service. Now Air Canada says that as of August 1, 2023, Apple TV shows, series, and films will be added to its more than 2,500 hours of onboard entertainment.
"At Air Canada, we know that inflight entertainment is an important part of our customers' travel journey, particularly on long-haul flights," John Moody, Managing Director of Product Design at Air Canada, said in a statement. "We continually evaluate opportunities to expand our entertainment and introduce exclusive, current content that our customers will love."
"We look forward to welcoming customers onboard to catch up on their favourite Apple TV+ shows or discover new hits during their flight," continued Moody. "This new partnership with Apple puts us on track to increase our onboard entertainment content by more than 95 per cent since last year."
As well as adding these shows to its inflight entertainment package, Air Canada is partnering with Apple to offer two months of Apple TV+ free, whether they are new or existing Apple subscribers.
Air Canada also says that more entertainment deals will be made before the end of the year.
