In-flight DVD players on Korean Air

Korean Air is offering personal DVD players in first and business class.

The service is available on flights between Korea and London and Sydney, and will be expanded to New Zealand, Los Angeles, Washington and Rome routes from April 1.

Separate portable Samsung DVD players are provided to each passenger instead of using monitors attached to each seat.

Passengers can choose from a selection of movies, video and audio, and decide when to start and end the movie.

Korean Air said it was launching the DVD services in response to the rising demand from passengers for enhanced in-flight entertainment.

The carrier also plans to introduce other home entertainment systems such as interactive video services and video on demand.
