LONDON, April 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Over a third of airline passengers would download songs from Apple iTunes if they were available in seat-back in-flight entertainment systems, a recent poll suggests.
The poll, run by leading aviation media portal http://www.flightglobal.com/, showed that 38% of site visitors would download songs from iTunes if they were available in seat-back in-flight entertainment systems, while 62% said they would not.
The poll was run in response to recent talks held between Apple and Aircraft in-flight entertainment (IFE) system providers on the possibility of licensing iTunes media download software for airlines' in-flight systems, enabling passengers to use their frequent-flyer miles to download music and videos onto their iPods in-flight.
The poll attracted 750 participants, and ran between April 12 and 18 at http://www.flightglobal.com/, the world's leading aviation media website, attracting a wide range of aviation professionals and enthusiasts.
