SriLankan Airlines will be introducing wireless in-flight entertainment on select narrow-body A320 aircraft, enabling passengers to seamlessly stream content on their own devices.

The new technology means that passengers on certain short-haul flights can now experience a greater degree of personalisation and convenience, while enjoying their favourite movies, music and more onboard.

SriLankan Airlines Manager Product Development Maria Sathasivam said: “We are excited to make our award-winning onboard entertainment content even more accessible to our loyal customers. Wireless entertainment is emerging as a game-changer in the industry, offering multiple advantages for both customers and airlines. As an airline that embraces innovation, with passenger experience at the heart of everything we do, it is a natural step for SriLankan Airlines to join the ranks of global carriers offering wireless in-flight entertainment.”

Passengers can use their smartphones, tablets or laptops to access and stream on-demand content onboard via the airline’s Wi-Fi network, SkyPlus, without the need for seatback screens. Powered by the wireless streaming solution, Everhub, passengers are instantly connected to SriLankan’s in-flight entertainment system, featuring an expertly curated library with something for everyone.

From the latest Hollywood blockbusters to regional favourites, the library contains hours of movies and TV shows in a variety of languages and genres, including action, comedy, drama, adventure, kids, musical and sports. Passengers can also enjoy over 100 handpicked audio albums, featuring music for every listener, from international hits to local classics.

Winner of the prestigious 2025 APEX Best Entertainment Award in Central/Southern Asia based on certified passenger feedback, SriLankan Airlines’ in-flight entertainment is also about to become more environmentally friendly by going wireless. Wireless entertainment systems are lightweight, contributing to fuel efficiency and savings in the long run, all while ensuring that passengers have on demand access to the latest content for a more engaging and enjoyable experience.
