The trial will begin later this month on selected domestic routes across Australia.

Depending on demand, the budget airline will look to roll out the device across its entire domestic and international network later in the year.

The iPads will provide in-flight entertainment with movies, TV programs, eBooks, music videos, games and CDs and will cost passengers $10 to rent on board.

Jetstar CEO Bruce Buchanan said it anticipates huge demand for the mobile device.

He added: "We are really excited to commence trialing 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.”
