Kuala Lumpur, 24 July 2012
– Feel as
if you are watching the latest hit movie at the cinema, listening to your
favourite artist sing at a concert hall or even reading your favourite magazines
at your local coffee shop? With the new In-flight Entertainment System (IFE) -
the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 now available on AirAsia X’s flights to Australia,
Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan; guests are able to experience the features of
the tab with lifelike sound and excellent screen quality, throughout their
journey onboard.
AirAsia X in partnership with Tune
Box, the digital media arm of Tune Group, is currently offering the In-flight
Entertainment System – the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with an all-enhanced high resolution screen
and premium sound system onboard its flights to all its
long-haul destinations. Tune Box is also partners with Stellar, an established
supplier of entertainment content and technical services to the airline industry
which helps acquires film, television, music, games and digital magazine content
that prepares and integrate all digital assets onto the Tune Box
platform.
Guests travelling to/from AirAsia X
flights to Australia (Perth, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Sydney), China (Hangzhou,
Chengdu, Beijing), Korea (Seoul), Japan (Osaka, Tokyo) and Taiwan (Taipei) may
pre-book the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 online on airasia.com for only MYR35 one
way. The tablet which has a long battery life of up to 10 hours is also
available for rent onboard all flights for MYR45 one way.
As a gadget junkie himself, CEO of
AirAsia X, Azran Osman-Rani said, “We are always on the lookout for ways to
further improve our services and enhance our guests’ in-flight cabin experience.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be a great change to our previous portable
e-player as it offers one of the best high definition screens, sound system, and
a powerful processor all packed in a sleek yet lightweight tablet. On top of
that, the tablet is also considerably lighter than our previous e-player which
cost efficiently reduces the weight onboard our flights.”
Azran added, “At the forefront of the
long-haul low cost model, AirAsia X is constantly innovating ourselves to keep
up with the latest in technology. This partnership with Tune Box offering the
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 onboard is our commitment in driving innovation whilst
enhancing guests’ in-flight experience.”
Executive Director of Tune Box, Sami
El Hadery said, "We are very honoured to partner with an
internationally acclaimed airline like AirAsia X to deliver a sophisticated yet
affordable IFE system. Tune Box and AirAsia X have a shared vision about changing the IFEC
landscape in the region, and we are very excited about our long term partnership
as we work together on the next phase to offer wireless IFEC for an enhanced
passenger experience.”
Enjoy preloaded movies and TV shows,
from popular Hollywood titles to a variety of international foreign movies from
Korea, Japan, and China and local Malaysian movies made available for your
viewing pleasure. Guests may also groove to the likes of Gotye, Lana Del Ray,
U2, Girls Generation, Utada Hikaru, Eason Chan and many more music artists with
more than 150 tracks to choose from.
Guests will also be spoilt for
choice, as the tablet is also loaded with popular games like Uno, Where’s Wally
Now?, and Shark Dash. For those who prefer a more quiet form of entertainment,
