Enhancing In-Flight Entertainment with HTML5 Games: Forestry Games’ Solutions for Airlines
by forestrygames in Knowledgebase on September 6, 2024In today’s digital age, travelers expect more than just transportation. They want engaging and entertaining experiences, even at 35,000 feet. Forestry Games is here to revolutionize in-flight entertainment (IFE) by providing HTML5-based games for airlines and IFE companies. With our innovative solutions, airlines can offer passengers an immersive gaming experience directly from their devices, keeping them entertained throughout their journey.
What are HTML5 Games?
HTML5 Games are built using cross-platform HTML5 technology, which enables games to run directly within the mobile browsers of smartphones, tablets, and laptops. This powerful technology covers a wide range of devices, including:
- iPhones, iPads, and iPods
- Android smartphones and tablets
- Windows Mobile devices
- Blackberry
- Mac and PC desktops
- Firefox OS devices
Thanks to the versatility of HTML5, our games run smoothly across all these platforms without the need for additional software or hardware installations. This means airlines can deliver a premium gaming experience to passengers without the hassle of installing apps or purchasing special devices.
Why HTML5 Games for Airlines?
Forestry Games understands that in-flight entertainment is a key part of the passenger experience. Whether passengers are on a short domestic flight or a long-haul international journey, offering them access to a variety of engaging games can dramatically improve their in-flight experience.
Our HTML5 games are specifically designed for the airline industry, offering high-quality, cross-platform compatibility with modern IFE systems. We enable airlines to:
- Enhance Passenger Engagement: With over 300 million airplane passengers enjoying Forestry Games annually, our solutions keep travelers entertained, reducing boredom and enhancing the overall in-flight experience.
- Reduce Costs: Since HTML5 games can run directly within mobile browsers or IFE systems, there’s no need for dedicated hardware or software installations, which significantly reduces operational costs for airlines.
- Increase Brand Loyalty: Offering familiar, branded games based on iconic characters from franchises like Disney, Nickelodeon, and Warner Bros. can enhance brand loyalty and passenger satisfaction. Popular IP-based games instantly attract passengers who are already fans of these franchises.
Flexible Deployment Options for Airlines
Forestry Games offers a variety of deployment methods to suit the needs of different airlines. Whether you operate short-haul, long-haul, or private flights, we ensure seamless integration with your IFE systems.
- Wi-Fi Streaming via BYOD (Bring Your Own Device):
Passengers can connect to the aircraft’s internal Wi-Fi network and access games through their personal smartphones, tablets, or laptops. The games run directly in the device’s browser, without needing any app downloads, providing a hassle-free experience. - Preloaded on Tablets or Devices:
Airlines can preload our games onto tablets provided to passengers. These games can be delivered as HTML5 or even Android APKs, depending on the platform’s requirements. This is ideal for airlines that offer tablets for in-flight use or prefer to have games available offline. - Embedded in Modern IFE Systems:
Forestry Games’ HTML5 games can be embedded directly into your aircraft’s IFE system, offering passengers a seamless gaming experience from seatback screens or personal devices. Our technology ensures smooth, uninterrupted gameplay even at cruising altitude.
Can HTML5 Games Work Offline?
Absolutely! We understand that internet connectivity may be limited or unavailable on certain flights. That’s why Forestry Games provides the full game source code, allowing games to work offline. Once preloaded, passengers can enjoy the games without requiring internet access, ensuring an uninterrupted experience.
Game Customization for Airlines

We offer customization options to suit your specific needs, whether it’s adjusting game design, adding branded content, or integrating special features to enhance passenger engagement.

You can feature branded games that align with your airline’s brand or collaborate with our partner IPs like Disney, Warner Bros., Nickelodeon, and more, to offer recognizable characters and worlds to your passengers. - Educational and Family-Friendly Games:
For airlines that cater to families or offer services for younger travelers, Forestry Games provides a range of family-friendly and educational games featuring brands like PBS KIDS, BabyTV, and Disney Junior. These games entertain and educate children, making flying a pleasant experience for families.
