Every passenger can now take advantage on new, wider screens available on Emirates flights

The technology is available across all three classes in first, business and economy class. Personal screens will be wider in every class; 27 inches in first class, 20 inches in business class and 12.1 inches in economy class - an increase from the 10.9 inch screen, making it the largest screen in the world.

Emirates' new screens feature high definition (HD) resolution, developed by Panasonic Avionics Corporation (Panasonic) allowing passengers to enjoy content in bright, vivid colour and ultra-sharp detail.

The new hardware will complement Emirates new, enhanced Graphical User Interface (GUI), which was recently launched and designed specifically to make content and system features easier to navigate.

"Emirates' goal is to ensure maximum comfort and choice for passengers during their in-flight entertainment, communications and inflight experience," said Adel Al Redha, Emirates Executive Vice President Operations and Engineering. "In this, like other areas of its operation, Emirates seeks to lead the industry; enabling our customers to get the very most out of their Emirates journey."

Emirates operates flights on a daily schedule from Malta to Dubai via Larnaka, Cyprus.
