ABOVE has been approved as a Tier 1 delivery platform for Inflight Entertainment (IFE) to distribute Disney Entertainment content.

This designation enables ABOVE to receive Disney assets in advance of theatrical release, allowing early work on localization, quality control, and screening — well ahead of standard delivery timelines.

This early access improves operational planning and supports faster, more efficient content readiness for airline partners and CSPs, a capability central to ABOVE’s vision.

ABOVE consistently delivers titles well ahead of the typical two-week processing standard, recently demonstrating this agility by successfully completing an urgent delivery of a Disney title for Aeroplay in a fraction of the usual time.

Efficiency is built into the system architecture through automation, enabling cost reductions and supporting rapid refresh cycles with a 48-hour SLA.

The platform is fully cloud-native, providing seamless, end-to-end workflow capabilities — spanning editing, localization, packaging, and delivery — ensuring consistent reliability and security compliance with studio requirements.

ABOVE is engineered for compatibility with all major IFE systems, and its infrastructure is designed to scale and adapt as airline and studio needs evolve.

This Tier 1 status complements ABOVE’s existing partnerships with studios such as Warner Bros., Shemaroo Contentino, and Universal Music Group, and supports its broader media distribution capabilities, already live with 20+ airlines and multiple CSPs worldwide.

Airlines and CSPs interested in subscribing to ABOVE’s Disney encodes or exploring broader inflight content services are welcome to contact the team for further information.
