Building on the incredible success of our 2024 event with 2,000+ registrations from 60+ countries, APEX FTE Asia Expo 2025 promises to be our most impactful edition yet, uniting airports, airlines, vendors, startups, OEMs, government agencies, and other key stakeholders for two days of unparalleled insights, networking, and collaboration.

In the Expo Hall, the industry’s most forward-thinking product and service providers from Asia and beyond will showcase their latest solutions designed to elevate the performance of airlines, airports, and their partners. The Premium Conference and free-to-attend sessions will provide attendees with a chance to learn from global pioneers and thought leaders, while additional highlights include access to the co-located Onboard Hospitality Forum Asia, a dedicated Startup Zone, and a vibrant social and networking agenda.

As the region gears up for unprecedented growth, APEX FTE Asia Expo will serve as the definitive platform for stakeholders to explore new technologies, embrace innovation, and foster collaboration to improve efficiency, operations, customer experience, revenues, and sustainability.

Delegate and exhibitor testimonials

“There is so much taking place in the Premium Conference and on the Expo Stage that I wish I could be in two places at once. In the exhibition, it’s great to see the improvements in technology and what’s new in the market. It’s also an opportunity to meet with my customers, clients and suppliers here in one location in Singapore. The attendees are right in the markets that we are interested in. I look forward to coming back next year.”
