Emirates is know a market leader in IFE I would be interested to whether and if you FFs would be interested in having this feature on ICE ? I have quite enjoyed it on UA, and would like to see it on EK especially given the diversity and range of EK as a global airline

Channel 9 is very popular among UA FF PAX see their thread on UA Mileage Plus for how lively the discussion is
I used to love it on UA and it would be fantastic if EK did it. It woudl be a great point of differentiation Vs other ME carriers.
