Dubai International trials free movie streaming

DUBAI International Airport has launched a new service allowing travellers to stream the latest films and TV shows to their devices while at the airport. The initiative sees the hub partner with regional content provider Icflix, enabling passengers to stream “the latest Hollywood, Bollywood and Jazwood [Arabic] content to their smartphones and laptops” using the airport’s free wifi.

Content is available in English, French and Arabic, and is being offered for free during an initial two-month trial period concluding at the end of October, following which “Dubai Airports and Icflix will assess customer feedback and options for future services”. dubaiairports.com
