You Can Now Listen To Spotify Aboard Emirates Flights

Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, and Spotify, the most popular audio-streaming service provider on the planet, have partnered to enhance the inflight entertainment experience. Beginning today, passengers aboard Emirates flights can listen to curated music playlists and podcasts directly through the inflight entertainment system—ice.

What’s being served via Spotify? Over 140 episodes from podcasts across various domains, such as business, sports, entertainment, and true crime. The list includes ‘What Now? with Trevor Noah’, ‘The Bill Simmons Podcast’, and ‘Case 63’. Those who’d rather relish Spotify’s music-streaming prowess can tune into one of the several “Mixtape” playlists available, including RapCaviar, Viva Latino, Jazz Classics, and Arabic Classics.

For select podcasts and playlists, travellers can scan a QR code and continue listening via their personal Spotify account after arriving at their destination. Another feature they can use is to create their playlists on the Emirates Mobile App and sync them onboard.
