The iPad offer a lot in a relatively compact package. The device can be used to watch movies, read books and magazines, listen to music and play games.
That’s most likely for those who travel often might carry their beloved iPad with them on the plane.
That’s also why it makes perfect logic that one airline sees the iPad as an chance to make some additional revenue.
Jetstar, a low-cost Australian airline, and also a subsidiary of Qantas, performed a trial back June in which 30 iPads were experienced over a two week period on domestic flights over an hour in length.
Based on the success of that trial, the airline is ready to move forward with a full deployment of the program which will permit passengers to rent an iPad for AUD$10 a flight beginning in April.
The program’s scheduled launch will be dependent upon the airline finalizing license agreements with Apple.
The airline hopes to use the iPads on its A320s in Australia and Asia Pacific in addition to is whole domestic and international network.
Airlines have previously shown signs they are keen to embrace the iPad. Back in June of last year Malaysia Airlines began offering self-checkout kiosks powered by iPads and the airline’s own MHmobile app.
Other airlines have also started offering iPad apps include Oneworld which is an alliance of airlines including American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN, Mexicana and a number of other carriers.
