Singapore Airlines is launching a brand new entertainment system across all of its cabin products featuring even larger screens, PC applications and USB ports to load up your own media.

Currently the new eX2 system is available on all three classes across its A380 and B777-300ER products, but the airline will look to further roll-outs in the near future.

With more than 180 TV programmes, over 700 music CD albums and audio books, video games, as well interactive learning programmes, all travellers can now watch these from their 1280 x 768 high-resolution screens.

“Being the first to launch the eX2, applications were introduced on a familiar platform and our immediate focus was to provide for a wide and comprehensive suite of applications,” said Yap Kim Wah, Singapore Airlines Senior VP Product and Services.

“This is to cater to the growing needs of our customers of varying ages. What you see now is only the beginning and more will be added.”

The new eX2 system will boast new PC applications such as Media Player, Photo View and PDS reader, which means that through the USB port travellers can load up their own personal media such as documents, movies, photos or music.

More enhancements to the entertainment system can be expected in coming months.
