Qantas Airways will offer an iPad to passengers on its Jetstar flights as it competes for a growing share of the competitive market for low-cost travel in Australia and Asia, reports “MarketWatch” (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/qantas-unit-to-offer-inflight-ipads-2010-10-17).

“We’re in the final stages of putting in place what would be a broader roll out across the network,” a Jetstar spokesman said. “We’re in ongoing discussion with the manufacturer around a more integrated network proposition.”

The iPad will be made available to passengers on domestic and long-haul Jetstar flights following a successful trial period at Qantas, says “MarketWatch.”
