On Thursday (June 5, 2025), United Airlines announced the start of a new and unique collaboration with Spotify.  United’s guests can now enjoy over 450 hours of Spotify content for free on more than 130,000 seatback inflight entertainment (IFE) screens, many of which offer stunning 4K quality and Bluetooth audio capability.  Flyers can now access over 65 pieces of content, including popular titles like Good Hang with Amy Poehler, The Dave Chang Show, and The Comment Section with Drew Afualo.  Additionally, from 2026, customers will be able to use their personal devices to log into the Spotify app on the IFE screen.


In Thursday’s announcement, United Airlines’ MileagePlus CEO, Richard Nunn, said,


“Spotify has a huge audience and people love their content. And now our customers can enjoy it all in a simple and easy way, at 35,000 feet.  Together, we’re giving millions of customers an entirely new way to experience and explore premium content from the world's most popular artists, authors and podcasters –all while flying with the latest technology in the sky.”


Also commenting on the new collaboration, Spotify’s VP – Business Development, Ian Geller, added,


“As a frequent United flyer myself, it's incredibly exciting to see Spotify now available on the world's largest airline.  At Spotify, we're dedicated to being everywhere our users are, giving creators opportunities to reach new platforms and engage different audiences.  I’m especially looking forward to bringing an even more personalized app streaming experience to seatbacks next year.”


At United Airlines, ‘Good Leads the Way.’  The airline operates the most comprehensive network among North American carriers with U.S. hubs in Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York/Newark, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.  United and United Express operate over 4,000 flights per day to more than 350 airports across six continents.  In 2024, United carried nearly 174 million customers, a company record.
