Virgin Atlantic has entered a new in-flight audio content partnership with Stellar Entertainment.
The partnership will see Stellar Entertainment provide Virgin Atlantic with two boarding playlists across its fleet, one each for daytime and night flights, as well as curated album collections and playlists for passengers to listen to throughout their journey via the carrier’s in-flight entertainment system.
Stellar Entertainment Audio Programming Manager Sebastian Conde explained, “We add 27 albums and playlists every month. Though the mix differs from month to month, it is usually about 22 albums and 4 playlists, including the boarding playlists […] We receive monthly data that lets us know how many people are interacting with each album.”
The boarding playlists, which are updated monthly, are also available via Virgin Atlantic’s Spotify channel, Virgin Atlantic Vera, which is already showcasing the airline’s February 2026 playlists as well as past versions.
“Our partnerships across the music industry give us the ability to source and deliver content others simply cannot.”

Upbeat songs featured on the February 2026 daytime playlist include “The Fate of Ophelia” by Taylor Swift, “People Watching” by Sam Fender, and “Shut Up and Let Me Go” by The Ting Tings. Meanwhile, relaxing records showcased on the night-time February boarding playlist “Saturn” by SZA, “Pressure” by The 1975 and “Make Me a Better Man” by Malcolm Todd.
Virgin Atlantic Inflight Entertainment Manager Cathy Walters stated, “In a competitive market, creating an experience that connects with guests beyond their flight is a powerful differentiator. Through Stellar Entertainment’s expertise and access to music, we are building an audio presence that feels memorable and authentic, underpinning our entertainment heritage and continuing to engage with our customers long after their journey.”
Stellar Entertainment believes its relationships with major record labels Sony, Universal and Warner make its audio offering unique. “Our partnerships across the music industry give us the ability to source and deliver content others simply cannot […], which means Virgin Atlantic can offer a mix of music that feels current, interesting and authentic,” said Stellar Entertainment CEO.
Elsewhere, Stellar Entertainment was recently announced as the exclusive content service provider for Azerbaijan Airlines.
