Air France has partnered with Apple TV to expand its long-haul in-flight entertainment, offering over 45 hours of original content and free access via its new high-speed Wi-Fi portal.
Air France has announced a new partnership with Apple TV aimed at enhancing its in-flight entertainment offering on long-haul flights. The collaboration, effective from January 2026, introduces more than 45 hours of Apple TV original content for passengers, alongside free access via the airline’s new high-speed Wi-Fi portal as it is progressively deployed across the fleet.
Â
Apple TV content available on long-haul services
On all long-haul flights, Air France passengers can now access a curated selection of Apple TV programmes through the aircraft’s in-flight entertainment system. The catalogue includes well-known original series such as Ted Lasso, The Morning Show and Severance, as well as titles reflecting French lifestyle themes, including Carême.
Â
 Documentary content such as Prehistoric Planet and The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy, together with children’s programmes like WondLa and The Snoopy Show, also forms part of the offering.
Â
For each series, the first three episodes are available in a dedicated Apple TV channel. Content can be viewed on individual seatback screens in French and English, with subtitles and accessibility options for passengers who are deaf or hard of hearing. The Apple TV selection represents a total of 45 hours of programming, with content refreshed every two months.
Access via high-speed Wi-Fi portal
In addition to seatback access, Air France is offering one week of free Apple TV access through its new high-speed Wi-Fi portal. This allows passengers to watch content on their personal devices during the flight and continue viewing after landing. The airline plans to further enhance this portal with co-developed content from Air France and Apple TV, creating a tailored trial experience available exclusively on board.
Â
The high-speed Wi-Fi service is being rolled out gradually across the fleet, including regional aircraft, and is scheduled to be available on all Air France aircraft by the end of the year.
Â
Broader in-flight entertainment offering
Beyond the Apple TV partnership, Air France’s long-haul aircraft provide passengers with access to more than 1,500 hours of on-demand entertainment via high-definition seatback screens. In newer cabins, anti-glare 4K screens are equipped with Bluetooth connectivity for personal headphones. The airline is also introducing a new touch-sensitive interface across its 38,000 screens, available in 12 languages.
Â
The entertainment catalogue spans over 310 films across multiple genres, alongside series, documentaries, music, podcasts, destination guides and children’s programming. Approximately 30 per cent of the content is dedicated to French productions. Additional features include a well-being section with options such as meditation and chair yoga, as well as an interactive map and on-board camera views during take-off and landing.
