Global travel media agency SPAFAX has launched an inflight entertainment channel entirely devoted to the American sitcom Friends to celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary.
The channel will be called “30 Years of Friends” and will offer 108 episodes from the show’s 10 seasons. The decision was made due to the popularity of the series, with Friends averaging 25 million viewers per week during its entire time on air. SPAFAX currently provides in-flight services for airlines such as British Airways, Emirates, and Air Canada.
“Friends has been a passenger favourite for as long as it’s been available for IFE, “said Rachael Harris-Boyce, Senior Account Director at SPAFAX. “The show’s relatable characters, hilarious jokes, and incredible on-screen chemistry between the actors make it universally accessible. Whether you’re watching Ross and Rachel’s rollercoaster romance for the first time or the fiftieth, Friends brings a sense of comfort that’s hard to beat. We are excited to offer this dedicated channel and are confident it will resonate deeply with passengers.”
The announcement follows other recent developments by SPAFAX, such as adding BBC Maestro to its in-flight portfolio in January, and a partnership to provide in-flight music with Tuned Global in April.
