The blips are a series of short "advertisements" that were aired on TV during the lead-up to Radiohead's third and fourth studio albums Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001). They were usually between five and ten seconds long, with a short extract from one of the songs from the promoted album. The visuals for the blips were made by Stanley Donwood along with several collaborators.

As an anecdote, I've flown United and Turkish across the Atlantic and it's a world of difference.
In 2016, the United airplane I was in still did not have a seatback screen and they expected all 200+ passengers to connect to the wifi to try to get in-flight entertainment. Of course no one got on. So all of us were left craning our necks trying to catch a glimpse of whatever was on the CRT in the aisle.
Meanwhile, Turkish Airlines has a touchscreen interface with beautifully done transitions and an amazing selection of movies and music. I remember seeing Radiohead's Kid A on there, along with the Blade Runner soundtrack.
Next month, I'm flying to Berlin via Turkish even though it will take 4 more hours because the price and comfort are worth it. Only problem is, this electronics ban may compromise my electronics.
(And yes, I'm aware of early adopter pitfalls and government subsidies for airlines, but United has no qualms treating non-status passengers like trash.)
