Jet Star offer iPads on flights
21-Sep-2010Budget airline Jetstar is to offer Apple iPads as part of its in-flight entertainment from later on this month.
Jetstar said that the iPad will be distributed to passengers on “selected domestic routes” across Australia. In practice, this means flights that last over one-and-a-half hours, meaning that the popular Sydney to Melbourne route won’t feature the iPad.
Passengers wishing to use the iPad will have to pay $10. In return, they will be handed the device, which will have movies, TV programs, eBooks and music uploaded to it.
Jetstar said that the iPads will be distributed in a similar way to its exisiting in-flight entertainment, in which headphones are handed out by cabin staff to passengers.
The airline said it was “one of the first” carriers in the world to offer iPads to passengers.
Bruce Buchanan, CEO of Jetstar, said: "We are really excited to commence the trial of the iPads, as we're always looking for ways to enhance our customer's Jetstar experience.
"Given the demand for the iPad so far, I anticipate it will have strong appeal amongst our passengers.
"In addition to offering low fares, great customer service and more choice, it's important that we can provide the latest in innovative technology to entertain our customers on board.
"Based on demand for the iPads as part of the trial, we'll be looking to roll out the devices across our entire domestic and international network later in the year.”
