1 min read
Summary
United Airlines has partnered with Spotify to expand its in-flight entertainment offering to include the music platform’s entire slate of podcasts and audiobooks, as well as curated playlists, on more than 130,000 seat-based entertainment screens.
The move makes United the first airline to offer Spotify content onboard, with passengers able to access the entertainment offering without needing a Spotify account.
The airline is also working to introduce a login feature that would allow passengers to sign into their Spotify accounts on their personal devices and large in-flight screens, with the aim of rolling this out in 2026.
United plans to continue upgrading its in-flight entertainment and Wi-Fi offerings as part of its broader goal of investing in its onboard and on-the-ground experience.
