RYANAIR LAUNCHES INFLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
The Revolution in Customer Service Continues
Ryanair, Europe's No. 1 low fares airline today (Tuesday, 21st September 2004)
announced its intention to introduce inflight entertainment (IFE) on all its
flights, with the acquisition - subject to board approval - of the APS inflight
entertainment system, which will be trialled initially on five Stansted based
aircraft from 1 November, and if successful will gradually be rolled out across
our entire Boeing 737-800 fleet over the Winter, making IFE available to all
passengers, on all aircraft in the Ryanair fleet from March next.
The APS portable video technology is one of the most advanced and easy to use
entertainment systems in the world. The Ryanair inflight video system will offer
Ryanair customers the latest Hollywood movies, up to date chart videos,
cartoons, comedy classics, sitcoms and audio cd's at a special introductory
offer price of GBP5 or EUR7 per flight.
Rolling out the Ryanair inflight video system in London this morning, Ryanair's
Chief Executive, Michael O'Leary said:
"Ryanair is delighted to be the first low fares airline in the world and the
first shorthaul airline in Europe to offer all our customers the latest
Hollywood movies on our inflight video system. This new technology will
allow Ryanair's passengers to enjoy the latest in inflight entertainment,
which will further enhance Ryanair's No.1 customer service package.
Nobody beats Ryanair's customer service, which includes:
-The lowest air fares in Europe.
-Brand new aircraft.
-All leather seats.
-New technology inflight entertainment
-No.1 on-time major airline.
-Fewest cancellations.
-Fewest lost bags.

"From November onwards in-flight movies won't be confined to rich people
travelling in business class on long-haul flights. Now the latest Hollywood
movies, music videos etc. will be available to all Ryanair passengers who
will continue to enjoy the lowest air fares in Europe together with the best

"Nobody beats Ryanair's low prices, nobody beats our punctuality and now
nobody beats our inflight entertainment either!"
