April 8, 2025

DirecTV In Flight, a specialist in delivering live television to commercial and private aviation, is expanding access to entertainment by securing international programming rights to deliver channels on flights departing from and returning to the US. This will enhance in-flight entertainment with a curated lineup of live TV content, including sports, news and entertainment, available on international routes.

With this expansion, DirecTV In Flight establishes in-flight programming preeminence as the first US-based provider to offer a live programming experience on international flights. The new offering includes a selection of popular channels, allowing passengers to enjoy much of the same high-quality entertainment they experience at home while in the air.

“DirecTV In Flight is redefining the in-flight entertainment landscape for international travelers by connecting passengers to their favourite US content when they fly from and to the US,” says Kimberly de Flesco, Head of Aviation Strategy for DirecTV In Flight. “We’re helping to keep passengers engaged, informed and entertained while flying beyond US borders.”

Passengers travelling on international flights now have access to a variety of US-based programming previously unavailable on these routes. With over 24 available channels including sports networks such as NFL Network, NFL RedZone, NHL Network, Fox Soccer Plus, Golf Channel and CBS Sports Network. News and business programming includes Fox News International, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox Business Network International, and Fox Weather. Other popular entertainment options including Bravo, FX, USA, E!, NatGeo, Hallmark, and Disney Channel are available, plus additional Spanish-language content from Telemundo and Univision.

DirecTV In Flight service is compatible with both seatback screens and personal devices.
