Emirates is globally recognized for its innovative in-flight technology and luxurious passenger experiences especially in its premium classes. Their commitment to high standards in passenger comfort and technological enhancements makes them a principal competitor when considering in-flight video calls. Emirates continuously explores technology upgrades that could potentially include seamless video communication experiences.

Singapore Airlines, renowned for its customer service and technological integration within its aircraft, has consistently been at the forefront when it comes to enhancing passenger experience through technology. The potential introduction of video call functions within their in-flight system could significantly rival the Qatar Cam, by leveraging their existing robust in-flight entertainment ecosystems.

Etihad Airways is another major competitor known for its innovative cabin features and technological amenities offered to Business and First Class passengers. Like Qatar Airways, Etihad is focused on enhancing the customer journey with tech-forward solutions and could easily implement similar video call facilities integrated into their in-flight services, targeting the high-end market segment.

As of the last update, Emirates does not offer a specific video call integration feature like the Qatar Cam described. However, Emirates provides onboard Wi-Fi and may support the use of external video calling apps on passenger devices.

As of the last update, Singapore Airlines does not offer a dedicated video call functionality integrated into its in-flight entertainment systems for Business and First Class passengers.

As of now, Etihad Airways does not offer a feature equivalent to the 'Qatar Cam' for in-flight video calls integrated into the entertainment system. Video calling capabilities are not advertised as part of their in-flight services for Business or First Class passengers.

• Emirates provides in-flight Wi-Fi, allowing passengers to access video calling through their own devices on apps like WhatsApp, Skype, or FaceTime, depending on service availability and internet speeds.
• Integration of video calling as part of in-flight entertainment systems or other dedicated offerings has not been reported.
• The focus is more on providing general internet access rather than specific applications like Qatar Cam.

• Singapore Airlines provides high-speed Wi-Fi on board, which could theoretically support third-party video calling applications on passengers' own devices.
• The airline focuses on premium content and connectivity for in-flight entertainment rather than integrating specific business tools like video calling directly into their systems.
• Any potential development in this area would likely leverage its existing partnership with providers of satellite communications to ensure consistent and reliable connectivity.

• Etihad currently focuses on providing high-speed Wi-Fi and mobile connectivity services, allowing passengers to use their own devices for communication.
• There is no integration of video calling platforms like Zoom or Teams directly into their entertainment systems.
• Passengers must use their personal devices if they wish to engage in video calls during flights.

Emirates' approach is less integrated and requires passengers to use their own devices for video calls, which may not be as seamless or convenient as a built-in system like Qatar Cam.

The current setup requires passengers to use their personal devices for video calls, which may not be as convenient or comfortable as an integrated system like the proposed Qatar Cam.

Without an integrated video call system, passengers need to rely on their own devices, which may not provide an optimal, hands-free communication experience during long flights. This could affect the convenience and comfort, especially in premium classes.

Emirates differentiates through broad service offerings such as diverse in-flight entertainment options and connectivity but has not yet differentiated in the area of integrated video communication for business and first-class passengers.

Currently, there is no direct differentiation in this specific area because Singapore Airlines has not implemented video calling through their in-flight entertainment systems. Their competitive edge primarily remains with the general quality of service and extensive digital media offerings.

Etihad Airways does not differentiate itself in this specific feature area as it lacks an integrated solution for video calls as described for 'Qatar Cam'. They remain traditional in focusing on general broadband and network access.

Onboard Wi-Fi is offered either for free or at a cost, depending on the flight, ticket class, and passenger's Skywards membership status. This is indirect pricing for any potential video calling uses, as there's no specific feature dedicated to video calls.

Wi-Fi access, which is necessary for any form of video calling, is available for purchase in tiered plans based on duration of use or flight length, often with premium passengers receiving free or discounted access.

Etihad’s in-flight Wi-Fi is available either as a paid add-on or included in certain premium tickets. However, specific charges for video calling via personal apps depend on the broadband package purchased by the passenger.
