Middle East Airlines-Air Liban (MEA) is to commence a two-month trial of Panasonic\u2019 Avionics in-flight Live Television service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The service was rolled out on MEA\u2019s fleet of nine Airbus A321neoLR aircraft on the 1st of October 2021, helping passengers to Never Miss A Moment\u2122 with a wide range of premium news and live sporting events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Panasonic Avionics\u2019 Live Television service connects passengers to unmissable on-the-ground entertainment from the comfort of their seats. The integrated service enables passengers to watch news channels including BBC World and CNN International, along with live sporting action in partnership with Sport 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sport 24 is provided exclusively by Panasonic Avionics and is the world\u2019s first and only live in-flight sports platform. It broadcasts 24-hours a day, 365 days a year, connecting airline passengers to over 16 hours of premium live content from over 30 different global sports leagues each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Live Television service on board MEA\u2019s aircraft will be powered by Panasonic Avionics\u2019 in-flight connectivity services, and broadcast through its eX1 in-flight entertainment platform, both of which were launched on the airline\u2019s A321neoLR fleet in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
eX1 is designed specifically for narrowbody aircraft and offers elegant full HD seatback monitors, complete with touch displays and handsets, and an intuitive, personalized interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
