Press Release
Vancouver, BC – December 18, 2016
Streaming aviation channel launches on mobile devices for the inflight entertainment system. As the business model of Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) has disrupted the broadcast business of traditional TV, many households have abandoned their television cable packages for the mainstream and specialist streaming services such as Amazon, Crave and Netflix. Now, 37 percent viewers of the Canadia are using such services, said Nielsen.
JetFlix Vancouver has launched the SVOD theme as the world’s first aviation theme on 1st November. It offered 60 aviation videos with its full features, which can be accessed on mobile devices on a monthly subscription.
Henry Tenby, the founder of JetFlix said, “our aviation content is specially curated or exclusively created in house”.
According to JetFlix.TV founder Henry Tenby, “our aviation content is either specially curated or exclusively created in house.”
Tenby has launched the SVOD themed aviation as a re-branding and natural continuation of his DVD aviation’s business. For about a decade, this business had been in process. According to Tenby, “people have stopped purchasing silver discs and the DVD business has died overnight”.
The SVOD JetFlix business model is different from YouTube. It is an AVOD, advertising or ad based VOD service. It is a short duration video with low value of production video clips. Most of the specialized niches have created loyal and engaged fans of the SVOD business model. The aviation sector has riped for this opportunity.
JetFlix offers Canadian aviation content on a fair amount. It includes Air Creebec, NWT Air, the Martin Mars, Air North, Hawkair’s Bristol Freighters, Yellowknife Airport and the Canadian Forces Boeing 707s.
Moreover, JetFlix work with the airlines, airports and manufacturers, whoever interested in being featured on the Streaming aviation channel. According to Tenby, “we don’t have a shortage of the partners of global aviation to work with us and their inspirational stories”.
Tenby also said that “It is not just about the future. The past is just as interesting as it is where we came from as an industry”. Most of the viewers of JetFlix interested and passionate about the airline and aviation history. “So, that’s why we digitized, preserved and shared the histories of airline and aviation visual films and also, archives something that is high on our agenda”, said Tenby.
With two large international airlines, JetFlix is already in discussions about providing specialized content for aviation on their inflight entertainment system. Looking for more new ways to compete, Airlines try to provide their passengers with the uniqueness of services without the involvement of heavy expense and price competition.
The video screen on every seat back is a direct access to the passengers. This will make passengers engaged for a longer period. For most of the passengers, aviation a very interested topic, and the concept of the aviation channel with the inflight entertainment system holds a big promise for JetFlix.
