Qantas to test onboard iPads
In what it says is a world first, Qantas will next month trial the latest in-flight entertainment (IFE) technology on board a domestic aircraft.
Q Streaming will allow all customers travelling on a dedicated aircraft during the trial the ability to stream inflight entertainment content to individual iPad tablets supplied by Qantas whilst inflight.
Customers travelling on the aircraft will also be able to watch Qantas’s in-flight entertainment on their laptop computer, smartphone, tablet or other WIFI enabled device later on in the trial.
The initial six-week trial of the IFE product will be on board a B767-300 that operates flights from Perth to Melbourne and Sydney and will run from the end of October through to early December this year.
Following the trial, Qantas will assess opportunities for the application of Q Streaming across both the domestic and international fleet.
