Turkish Airlines has announced the launch of 'Companion Entertainment', a new mobile application for its inflight entertainment (IFE) platform Planet, turning it into an interactive outlet that can be used before and after flights.
           
Transforming the flag carrier’s inflight entertainment into a concept that can be interacted even outside of the plane, this new application will be available at over 100 planes during the first stage.

With the “Companion Entertainment”, passengers will be able to browse the rich variety of content offered by “Planet” before their travels. Adding their preferred movies, TV shows and series to their favourites, they will be able to watch them on top of the clouds immediately.

In addition, passengers will be able to control the seatback screens with their mobile devices using the app. They will be able to play, pause, browse and control the volume with their mobile devices. The app also turns the mobile device of the passenger into a second screen for the Planet platform.

Turkish Airlines passengers can download the “Companion Entertainment” app to their mobile devices from IOS and Android stores and then pair their mobile devices to the Planet platform during their flights. - TradeArabia News Service
