Japan Airlines has announced that it has introduced a selection of Disney+ Originals in its inflight entertainment on both international and domestic flights.   They will be the first Japanese airline to offer Disney+ Originals inflight.  Other airlines, including British Airways, also offer a selection of Disney+ Originals onboard.

Disney+ offers beloved content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and more. With the addition of Disney+ Originals, JAL’s inflight entertainment now features an even wider variety of movies, dramas, and series, including exclusive original content, ensuring a magical journey in the sky.

JAL provides entertainment services on all its aircraft, allowing passengers to enjoy movies, anime, and TV programs on personal monitors, or on their own smartphones and tablets, even on aircraft without built-in monitors, ensuring a comfortable journey for all. The latest Airbus A350-1000 features 4K monitors and Bluetooth connectivity in all classes, and the world’s first in-seat speakers in First and Business Class, offering an even more immersive inflight entertainment experience. Additionally, JAL plans to offer free inflight Wi-Fi on international flights to enhance the internet connectivity environment.

Through continuously evolving inflight entertainment, JAL aims to create the best possible journey tailored to each customer’s needs.

Some of the Disney+ Originals available include:

  • Loki
  • The Mandalorian
  • Behind The Attraction
  • Monsters At Work
  • Zootopia+
  • Lady & The Tramp

Junko SAKIHARA, Deputy Senior Vice President of the Customer Experience Dept, said in a statement:

“We are delighted to be the first airline in Japan to offer a wide range of Disney+ Originals on both domestic and international flights. We are very pleased to provide a comfortable journey to many of our customers. JAL aims to offer services that allow each customer to choose according to their preferences, through a variety of inflight entertainment and stable inflight Wi-Fi. During this summer vacation, please create unforgettable memories with your family and friends by enjoying the wonderful works of Disney+ Originals on JAL flights.”

Roger’s Take:  This is a great move for both Disney and Japan Airlines, it allows Disney+ Original content to reach a larger audience and also provides additional revenue for Disney.  Plus, if you’re flying to or from Japan, now you can work your way through “The Mandalorian!”
