Air Canada Passengers Can Now Enjoy Free Audible Originals on Flights
Air Canada today became the first airline to offer Canadian Audible Original titles to its in-flight entertainment (IFE) system. Passengers will get to choose from a catalog of audiobooks and podcasts for an immersive, relaxing listening experience during their journey.
“We’re thrilled to announce Audible as the latest global brand to work with Air Canada as we continue to expand the in-flight entertainment choices we offer our customers,” says John Moody, who is the managing director of product design at Air Canada. “Entertainment is an important part of the in-flight experience, and with a growing interest in audio stories, the addition of inspiring and engaging articles and interviews in audio format complements the diverse range of content available in our unparalleled in-flight programming.”
Georgia Knox, Canada Country Manager for Audible, says, “Audible is committed to creating exceptional listening experiences for its customers around the world—including as they travel for pleasure or business. Through our collaboration with Air Canada, we’re able to inspire, entertain and inform more listeners than ever before on their journeys. Travelers will have access to an extensive list of content, including a selection of Canadian Audible Originals that we develop with up-and-coming talent and some of the country’s biggest names.”
The collaboration will start with 160 hours of Audible Original audiobook and podcast content, now available onboard Air Canada’s IFE-equipped aircraft, spanning sports, true crime, family, wellness, action/adventure, comedy, and more. The catalog features a wide range of Canadian content in both English and French, with highlights including Sidney Crosby: The Rookie Year; Seven Truths; Women Talking; Roudoudous en laponie; Main-Basse sur le monde; and more, with new titles to come. Audible is also offering Air Canada customers two free months of membership, so they can enjoy their new favorites at home or on their next trip.
Audible is proud to team up with Air Canada, a five-time winner of both Best Airline for Onboard Entertainment by Global Traveler and the Passenger Choice Award for Best Entertainment in North America by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX), to offer exceptional listening experiences to travelers.
