Today, you no longer need a built-in screen in the seatback to watch movies and TV shows during a flight. Wireless multimedia systems are becoming increasingly popular, allowing passengers to connect to the in-flight server from their smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
One of the Russian developers of such solutions is the company “OblaKo,” which created the domestic Wi-Fly multimedia server. The platform offers passengers a wide selection of content: movies, TV series, music, games, magazines, and children’s programs. In addition to entertainment, the service allows passengers to track their flight path on a map, change their seat on board, and communicate with the crew via in-flight services.
Content for the platform is provided by Russia’s largest online movie theaters—Premier, Okko, and Wink. It is their projects that most often rank among the top in viewership on partner airlines’ flights.
Premier
Among Premier’s projects, the series “Holidays” is particularly popular with passengers. This family comedy explores the complex relationships among relatives who regularly gather for a wide variety of occasions. Relatable situations, humor, and vivid characters have made the series one of the most sought-after choices for in-flight viewing.
For fans of dramatic stories, viewers recommend the series “Chewing Gum.” The suspenseful plot and the characters’ emotional journey keep viewers hooked from the very first episodes, which is why many passengers continue watching even after landing.
The series «Restaurant by the Book» has also made it onto the list of popular comedies. The story of former inmates who decide to open their own restaurant combines a crime plot, humor, and charismatic characters, which is why the show remains popular among viewers.

The series «A Kid’s Word. Blood on the Asphalt» remains as popular as ever, having become one of the major cultural phenomena of recent years. This coming-of-age story set in the late 1980s sparked widespread public interest and continues to rank among the most sought-after projects.
The top-viewed shows also include the series «Chiki» — a dramedy about four friends trying to change their lives in a small southern town. Authentic characters and relevant social themes have earned the series the love of viewers and high praise from critics.
The projects listed here are just a small part of the Wi-Fly multimedia server’s catalog. New releases from Russian online movie theaters, popular hits, and classics of Russian cinema are available to passengers during the flight without an additional subscription, turning the journey into a full-fledged movie experience at an altitude of several thousand meters.
