Over a Third of Airline Passengers Would Download Songs From Apple iTunes

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 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
www.flightglobal.com, the world's leading aviation media website, attracting
a wide range of aviation professionals and enthusiasts.
