In 1992, Emirates became the first airline in the world to install personal video systems in all seats in all classes throughout its fleet. In 1996, the entry of the Boeing 777s added new features such as 17 audio visual channels, 22 audio channels and two external cameras beaming pictures of take-off, landing and enroute scenery directly to every seat's television monitor.
