Air France and Canal+ have announced a new partnership. From May 1st, the airline will be offering access to a selection of Canal+ programmes on all its long-haul flights. Customers will be able to watch Canal+ Creation Originale series, popular programmes, comedy shows, documentaries and children’s shows during their journey.

All this content will enhance Air France’s entertainment offer, which devotes 30 per cent of its entertainment offer to French productions, and also includes a large number of movies.

In total, around 100 Canal+ titles will be available at the time of launch – such as The Embers, Of Money and Blood, En Aparté and Versailles –  in French, subtitled and adapted for the deaf and hard of hearing. This selection will be renewed with twenty new programmes every month.

“We are proud to be showcasing Canal+ programmes on board our flights. Renowned throughout the world for their creativity, I’m sure they will appeal to our customers and promote French culture. They also enable us to offer more up-to-date content on board our flights,” commented Fabien Pelous, SVP Customer Experience at Air France.

“We are delighted with this unique partnership, which will enable Air France passengers to enjoy an exclusive entertainment experience on board its long-haul flights. We are particularly honoured that Air France has chosen CANAL+ to create its first and only dedicated media space, reinforcing our commitment to promoting French, and soon African, audiovisual creation throughout the world,” added Christophe Pinard-Legry, CEO of Canal+ France in charge of Business activities.
