British Airways Partners with DJ Cuppy to Bring Afrobeats to Passengers

In a delightful collaboration, British Airways is all set to elevate the inflight entertainment experience by bringing the vibrant beats of Afrobeats to its passengers, thanks to Nigerian-born musician and DJ, Cuppy.

Starting November 1, travellers will have the exclusive privilege of enjoying Cuppy’s curated playlist during their British Airways flights. This is certainly music to the ears of passengers, literally.

London-based Cuppy, whose DJ talents have taken her across over 30 countries worldwide, is the perfect artist to craft a playlist that adds a dose of rhythm and energy to British Airways’ inflight entertainment system. This musical partnership aligns with the airline’s expansion of its flight offerings between Africa and London, including the launch of its new route from Accra to London Gatwick, complementing its existing daily services to London Heathrow.

Cuppy’s playlist is designed to transport travellers to a far-off paradise before their journey even begins. The tracklist includes some of her popular hits like “Jollof On The Jet” and “Feel Good,” blending the infectious rhythms of Afrobeat with elements of hip-hop and reggae.

Cuppy, not just a musician but a frequent flyer and philanthropist, shared her excitement about this partnership, emphasizing the unifying power of music to transcend borders and cultures. She expressed her enthusiasm to introduce British Airways passengers to her exclusive mix, inviting them to immerse themselves in the uplifting vibes while en route to their destinations.

Calum Laming, British Airways’ Chief Customer Officer, highlighted the importance of providing travellers with a comprehensive entertainment experience during their flights. British Airways has doubled its inflight entertainment content this year, offering an array of content, including curated playlists and popular podcasts spanning various music genres.

Customers who prefer to stream content on their personal devices can also take advantage of British Airways’ WiFi connectivity, with a range of packages available, from messaging to browsing and streaming options. The airline continues to roll out WiFi services across its fleet, both long and short-haul, ensuring that passengers stay connected and entertained throughout their journey.

So, as you prepare for your next British Airways flight, don’t forget to plug in your headphones, turn up the volume, and get ready to groove to the beats of Cuppy’s Afrobeats playlist. It’s the perfect way to set the mood for your adventure in the sky.
