Two Major Airlines Admit to Undisclosed Cameras in Aircraft Entertainment Systems


Even cruising through the sky, the possibility of a digital privacy invasion remains. Two entertainment systems used by Singapore Airlines and American Airlines were recently discovered to have outward-facing cameras. Both airlines failed to notify passengers that their aircraft entertainment systems were equipped with such devices, but the carriers insist the cameras were never activated, BuzzFeed News reports.

A recent discovery was made by a savvy passenger, who spotted the small lens immediately beneath the screen monitor on the seat in front of him on a Singapore Airlines flight. Vitaly Kamluk tweeted photos of his finding, which drew a fair amount of engagement online.


Singapore Airlines responded to his pictures on Twitter, writing: "These cameras have been disabled on our aircraft, and there are no plans to develop any features using the cameras. Thank you."
