WestJet looks at ditching TVs for tablets
http://business.financialpost.com/20...s-for-tablets/

WestJet Airlines Ltd. will introduce pre-loaded tablets on some of its flights as an interim solution to finding a permanent fix for its lacklustre in-flight entertainment.

The Calgary-based carrier will begin renting the tablets on two new Boeing 737s in June, and another two aircraft by the end of the year, charging passengers between $10 and $12 apiece for the service, said Marshall Wilmot, WestJet vice-president of product development.

Mr. Wilmot said the Samsung Galaxy tablets, provided by Seattle-based SkyCast Solutions, will replace WestJet’s live TV and pay-per-view in-flight entertainment on those planes.
