Global Eagle to distribute Time Inc.-produced programming to
airline, cruise and maritime audiences under the newly created

The first two unique products under TIME Flies are films from
TIME’s celebrated multimedia project “100 Photos: The Most

on Time.com chronicling NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and
his record-breaking journey aboard the International Space

“This is a landmark agreement that brings exciting content to
air and sea travelers and highlights the depth of Global Eagle’s
content sources,” said Global Eagle Senior Vice President Jim
Griffiths. “The fact that Time Inc. – with brands that include
TIME, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, PEOPLE and FORTUNE – has chosen Global
Eagle as a partner is a wonderful endorsement of our distribution
leadership.”
“TIME Flies’ will be a great addition to Global Eagle’s
Content-To-Go platform, allowing passengers to enjoy this amazing
content throughout their entire travel journey,” said Alexis
Steinman, Global Eagle Senior Vice President Digital Media
Solutions.
“At Time Inc., we are always looking to expand our storytelling
to new platforms,” said Ian Orefice, Vice President and Head of
Programming at Time Inc. Studios. “We are excited to bring TIME’s
award-winning content to new audiences who are traveling in the air
and at sea.”
The films from “100 Photos” feature subjects such as Harry
Benson’s memorable shot of the Beatles pillow fight; Ron Galella’s
iconic photograph of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis walking the streets
of New York City; Abraham Zapruder’s images of John F. Kennedy’s
assassination; Nat Fein’s shot of Babe Ruth bowing out at Yankee
