Emirates takes entertainment one step further by offering exclusive content to its passengers with its new partnership with Spotify.

Emirates has realized a new cooperation with Spotify, the world's most popular digital music service. With the collaboration, Spotify's many podcasts and playlists prepared for Emirates passengers to have a pleasant time in the sky can be listened to by music lovers on ice, the personal in-flight entertainment system located behind the seat, on all flights to the airline's 140 destinations.

Spotify's curated exclusive content for Emirates' global passenger audience includes a range of popular music playlists, as well as the best podcasts in English, Portuguese, Tagalog and German. In 2025, more language content will be added, including Spanish and Hindi. In addition, new podcasts and music will continue to be added regularly to complement Emirates' existing library of over 3500 hours of global music and thought-provoking conversations.
