(CNA, Taipei, June 18, by reporter Yu Hsiao-han) Tigerair Taiwan announced today that on the 25th, it will launch a paid wireless in-flight entertainment system. Passengers can connect via their personal devices like mobile phones to watch movies, TV series, and more. The film list will be updated quarterly, and passengers will be offered a free trial until October 24.

Tigerair Taiwan issued a press release today stating that it has officially partnered with Bluebox Aviation Systems, a global leader in aviation entertainment and digital services. Starting from 00:01 on June 25, the wireless in-flight entertainment system "tiger.mov" will be officially enabled and introduced across its entire fleet.

Tigerair Taiwan pointed out that passengers only need to connect to the wireless in-flight entertainment system in the cabin via their own personal mobile devices such as phones, tablets, or laptops. Without downloading an app, they can enjoy blockbuster movies and popular TV series, and easily browse the electronic version of the in-flight magazine tigertales and keep track of the real-time flight map.

Tigerair Taiwan stated that the film list provided by the entertainment system is based on three core selection criteria: major Hollywood blockbusters, popular Asian films, and family-friendly content. The initial lineup includes an F1 movie, Tom and Jerry, Summer's Lemon Grass, You, Dead Boy Detectives, and Rebound, among others.

To celebrate the launch of the new wireless in-flight entertainment system "tiger.mov," Tigerair Taiwan announced that all passengers flying with them on or before October 24 can use the new system for free.

Tigerair Taiwan said that starting from October 25, passengers with tigerpro and tigersmart fare bundles will receive an exclusive experience code for free. Other passengers wishing to use this service can also purchase a code from the cabin crew on board for a price of NT$99.

Themed aircraft will be launched before September 13, featuring themed decorations in the cabin and custom headrest covers. Music from Sony Pictures' Spider-Man: Rebirth will also be played on board.
