Etihad airways will screen the GAA Hurling All Ireland Senior Championship Final between Kilkenny and Tipperary on its flights.

Screened for the first time on a commercial flight, passengers flying with the airlines on September 7 will be able to enjoy the live broadcast on the E-Box in-flight entertainment systems.

Beatrice Cosgrove, Etihad Airways’ general manager Ireland, said: “The GAA Hurling All Ireland Senior Championship Final is one of the highlights in the Irish sporting calendar and I am sure our guests who can't watch the match on the ground will enjoy the excitement and passion that will be on display live from Croke Park.”

“We have always taken an innovative approach to our partnership with the GAA, which has included the Senior Championship “Home For Hurling” promotion and our club competitions, “Best Club Under The Sun” and “Raise The Bar”, and screening the final in the skies with RTÉ is another great example of this,”  she added. – TradeArabia News Service
