Selected aircraft and cabin classes will feature OLED screens, while active noise-cancellation headphones and spatial audio will enhance the listening experience.
Passengers will also be able to connect their personal Bluetooth headphones to compatible systems, making it easier to watch movies, follow television shows or listen to music during a flight.
