Etihad Airways says it will "Make Flying Great Again" in its latest ad.

The new commercial, which was released on social media in response to the US government's ban on laptops and other large electronic items on flights from certain airports in Africa and the Middle East to the US, reassures customers that they will still have access to in-flight entertainment.

"Enjoy endless entertainment on demand ... including the latest movies, TV box sets, live news and sports," the ad says.

Etihad also reiterates that its passengers will have access to their cell phones during the flight and can use the onboard Wi-Fi to stay in touch.

Emirates released a similar commercial starring Jennifer Aniston earlier this week.

Business Insider reported earlier this week that the the ban will affect only nonstop flights to the US originating from these airports, which equates to roughly 50 flights a day.
