Etihad Airways partners with PressReader: Heightens passenger experience with digital newspapers and magazines
A strong commitment to the customer experience and sustainability brought Etihad to PressReader from a previous digital platform. The switch was motivated by Etihad's wish to offer the widest selection of choice and best reading experience to their passengers while moving to 100% digital. Since late 2018, the airline has embraced an essential 'Choose Well' strategy, which reflects Etihad's evolution into an 'airline of choices.' The inspiration was taken from the Founding Father of the UAE, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan , and his choices to develop his nation. And, it's a strategy the airline has proved works. Last year Etihad received industry recognition with a sweep of awards that included the 'World's Leading Airline 2019', 'World's Leading Airline - Customer Experience 2019', 'World's Leading Airline Inflight Entertainment 2019', and 'World's Leading Excellence Inflight Service 2019'.
"We're thrilled to bring quality publications to Etihad travelers wherever their journey takes them. With the largest selection of publications globally to choose from, we're personalizing the guest experience with relevant content. With our solution, that's possible not just in-flight, but also before and after, in the safest possible way. Etihad is known for its high-quality inflight entertainment and customer experience, and we're honored to connect their guests with the widest selection of newspapers and magazines, to delight even the most discerning reader," notes Alex Kroogman , CEO, PressReader Group of Companies.
To browse PressReader's catalog and start searching for favorite titles, guests need to download the Etihad Airways mobile app to their device before their flight or click the PressReader link in their check-in reminder email. Every downloaded issue is free to keep to be read anywhere, any time. A curated selection of popular newspapers and magazines from the PressReader catalog is also available on Etihad's award-winning inflight entertainment system. Better still, when traveling through Etihad's codeshare partners, passengers can enjoy seamless access to newspapers and magazines with Aer Lingus , JetBlue, Air Canada , or Turkish Airlines – partners that already offer access to PressReader's catalog.
PressReader continues to help its commercial aviation partners like Etihad Airways offer choice and safety, and they're not alone. Over 200 lounges and more than ten international airlines already deliver an enhanced travel experience in partnership with PressReader. By collaborating with the world's largest digital newsstand, airlines and airport lounges provide content choice like never before in safe ways for their passengers.
PressReader is on a mission to improve the way people discover stories that matter to them. With offices in Vancouver, Dublin, and Manila, the company provides the largest all-you-can-read platform of newspapers and magazines where people can discover relevant and trusted content from anywhere in the world. Find publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Globe and Mail, The Guardian, Newsweek, Forbes, Le Figaro, and Vanity Fair, to name just a few.
Using their phone, tablet, or computer, readers can browse content online or download entire issues using the PressReader app. They can subscribe for unlimited access or get the full experience sponsored by one of its brand partners - businesses that leverage the premium content platform to enhance their customers' experience - household names like British Airways, Turkish Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Air Canada, Marriott, Fairmont Hotels, Seabourn Cruise Lines, Princeton University, and the New York Public Library.
