United today announced the launch of a new, dedicated inflight entertainment channel featuring content from NBCUniversal’s streaming home, Peacock, bringing fan-favorite series onboard and giving customers even more choice and flexibility in how and what they watch while in the air.
The new channel will be available across more than 160,000 seatback screens and on personal devices via the United mobile app starting on May 1, with new Peacock originals added regularly. Select episodes of shows available at launch include: The Traitors (Season 4), All Her Fault, The Paper and Poker Face. Episodes of additional titles, including The Copenhagen Test and Ponies, are expected to roll out in June.
“Entertainment plays a central role in the onboard customer experience, and we’re continuing to expand both the quality and variety of what’s available,” said Dominic Green, Director of Inflight Entertainment at United Airlines. “With these popular series from Peacock, we’re introducing a standout lineup of widely recognized series to our seatback screens and personal device entertainment, further strengthening our premium inflight entertainment offering and giving customers more engaging ways to spend their time in the air.”
The Peacock channel builds on United’s continued investment in its inflight entertainment experience, with a library that includes more than 450 movies, over 1,000 TV episodes, 100+ international titles and more than 140 hours of podcast content.
