‍PARIS — Air France (AF) rolled out a strategic partnership with Apple TV to elevate its in-flight entertainment on long-haul services with highly sought-after original content.

Air France (AF) began offering more than 45 hours of award-winning Apple TV titles in January, adding global hits such as Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and Severance to its long-haul Audio Video On Demand (AVOD) system. This deal builds on AF’s existing 1,500+ hours of movies, series, documentaries, and cultural programming showcased on board, part of an entertainment refresh that supports diverse tastes and global routes.

The Apple TV selection sits alongside AF’s curated catalogue on personal screens in long-haul cabins and is fully accessible via the airline’s new high-speed Wi-Fi portal, which the carrier is installing fleet-wide through 2026. Passengers receive one week of complimentary Apple TV access on personal devices, providing continuity from plane to ground without subscription barriers.

Air France makes the first three episodes of each series available through a dedicated in-flight channel in French and English with subtitles and accessibility features. The broader entertainment strategy, including themed content, children’s programming, wellness segments, and interactive maps, has evolved over the years, with recent enhancements such as partnerships with Canal+ and expanded AVOD offerings that highlight French cinema and international productions.

The initiative ties into AF’s broader push to differentiate the long-haul experience through digital services, reflecting strong passenger demand for seamless connectivity and streaming-style entertainment at 30,000 feet. 

Full in-flight connectivity via the carrier’s high-speed Wi-Fi will be available across all cabins and aircraft types by the end of the rollout, enabling streaming, messaging, and access to personalized content on long-haul and, increasingly, medium-haul flights.
