Digital comics continue to permeate into the general market, with many people having used them at least once. The momentum of digital comics has been spurred by the diffusion of mobile devices, especially smartphones and iPads. It appears that manga may even become mainstream through digital comics. Now, it appears that an airline company is even making use of digital comics through new in-flight services for passengers. This airline company is Jetstar Japan, a new company that began operation in July 2012. Because they are a new company, they have decided to try something innovative.
The airline began its digital comic service in December 2012. Using the new service, passengers can read the manga magazines Comic Live! and Comic Frill. However, the lineup is planned to be expanded using the digital book store, BookLive!
When people think of in-flight services, many of them think of food and drinks. However, music and magazine services are now becoming popular. Jetstar is using such services as part of their in-flight entertainment. Of course, this also includes digital comics. The company has launched the service as a trial run on the Narita to Okinawa flights, and aims to expand it to include other flights as well. If this idea does catch on, passengers can expect an even more pleasant trip than before.
