Alaska Airlines has announced it will offer a new, customisable in-flight entertainment option, offering movies, TV and other content that can be loaded directly to a customer's mobile devices onboard its flight by year-end. The enhancement is part of a USD 100 million investment that Alaska Airlines is making to upgrade the cabins of its 737-800, -900 and -900ER aircraft with seats that feature both a personal space-enhancing design and 110-volt and USB power outlets. By summer, approximately half of Alaska's fleet with have the new seats and 36 aircrafts will be equipped with power outlets. The carrier expects to wrap up upgrades and offer the new in-flight entertainment system on flights by the fall.

The new system, called Gogo Vision, will allow customers to use their own laptop, tablet or smartphone to access more than 100 movies, 50 television shows and unique content while onboard an Alaska Airlines flight. Prices for Gogo Vision will range from under USD 6 for movies and under USD 3 for television content.

Alaska Airlines has also announced that Gogo has completed its Canadian air-to-ground Wi-Fi network, allowing for uninterrupted in-flight internet converge for the carrier's numerous routes between the Lower 48 and the state of Alaska.
