In this session, which was first broadcast during the FTE APEX Virtual Expo show in May 2021, a panel of industry leaders focused on how inflight entertainment & connectivity (IFEC) will evolve post-COVID-19. The session kicked off with an exclusive presentation from James Blackwell Jr, Managing Director of Sales, Delta Flight Products, who provided more details on how Delta Air Lines’ new spinoff company is positioned to respond to new trends and realities created by the pandemic.
