FTE APEX Asia Expo

“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.”

“The event is very good and very beneficial to airlines. The conference speakers have been real experts sharing their insights. Meanwhile, in the exhibition there are many IT and service infrastructure providers, so it’s very beneficial for new ideas.”

“It has been amazing. Connectivity and personalisation are two of our key objectives for 2023 and we’re seeing so much of it here at the expo, which has been so great for us. We’re really grateful that we had the privilege to come here. We’ve already decided to attend next year.”

“FTE APEX Asia Expo has been fantastic – it has been incredibly stimulating, with lots of great ideas, interesting people and fantastic talks, so there’s really a lot to take home and think about. The exhibition has had some fantastic suppliers and a lot of companies I didn’t know before. I’m already looking forward to coming back next year.”

“I’m a big supporter of this show because at its heart is a desire to bring industry stakeholders together not only to view the latest products and services, but to share experiences and expertise with one another, and to collaborate for the benefit of the wider air transport sector.”

“The expo has been an amazing experience. I really love it, as I have made many new connections… We have found a diverse range of potential partners to work with here.”

“The experience at FTE APEX Asia Expo has been great. I love the networking and the opportunity to meet new people, especially in this market. I haven’t been here before, so it’s been a good opportunity to come out to Singapore, meet some new people, and learn more about what’s going on in this culture and environment in the industry.”

“This is my third FTE event this year and it has been excellent. APAC is a very big market for us and I have had a great opportunity to meet lots of our partners here in the region. The overall atmosphere at FTE APEX Asia Expo has been second to none. The networking opportunities that FTE brings are always very special. I’m able to do five weeks’ worth of work in five minutes because there are just so many people here and the calibre of attendees – whether it’s airports, airlines or suppliers – is fantastic.”

“It has been brilliant. This is my first time in Singapore and I really enjoyed the Changi Airport T2 tour – it’s very inspirational to see all of the exciting new things there. I have also really enjoyed the social events and networking opportunities, and the chance to meet customer airlines in Asia Pacific. I was able to meet and share experiences with other airports in this region, as well as potential new suppliers for our projects.”

“It was very inspirational to be back in person and have the chance to meet many people from within the aviation ecosystem. It has been a fantastic event with great discussions and exchanges on the various panels. We need this kind of event to bring all of the ecosystem partners together and find solutions that support everybody.”

“It’s a great experience to be at this expo, where the exhibitors are showcasing what passengers would like to have in the future. This event is very good because it gives airlines the opportunity to see what’s coming in the future, so we can improve the passenger experience.”

“My experience at FTE APEX Asia Expo has been great this year. We’ve been able to see many companies that offer innovative solutions. One of the most valuable things is making connections with airports and other airlines, and people who are trying to solve a lot of the same problems that we’re trying to solve.”

“The event has been very effective for us. The conference sessions have been interesting. We have had the opportunity to see which initiatives other airlines are working on right now and perspectives from different markets. The exhibition has also been very interesting – we have seen a lot of vendors from different areas. You can find solutions for airports and airlines. It’s our first visit to FTE APEX Asia Expo and I hope to be back.”

“In 2023, this is one of the best shows we have attended. We have had a very busy stand with a lot of high-quality leads, so it has been an absolutely wonderful experience for us. For 2024, this event for the Asia Pacific region will absolutely be a must.”

“Our experience has been great. What we’ve enjoyed is meeting professionals across the aviation industry, having very deep conversations and learning from them, as well as sharing our own journey. It has been a very diverse range of people we have met in terms of networking, so it has been a very enriching experience. I would love to keep coming to this event.”

“FTE APEX Asia Expo has been a great networking event. We’ve had a steady stream of visitors, some very good meetings and made some good new connections. The social and networking events have been very strong. There’s been a good quality of visitor here and we’ve had the opportunity to meet people we otherwise wouldn’t have. We will definitely be coming back again next year – it’s an important event for us.”

“We have been able to showcase many new technologies to airlines and airports, so they can visualise how they are going to help them through transformation and digitalisation. The quality of visitors has been great. There has been a lot of regional, Asia Pacific customers coming through. This is one of the main events for us in Asia Pacific.”

“The quality of people here is extremely high, and we have been speaking to the decision-makers. The social events have been great for networking and meeting people we haven’t met before. The FTE team was very good at introducing me to many airlines during the event, so it has been very positive. The networking app has also been exceptionally good, and I’ve had some very high-quality meetings because of it. We will definitely be here next year.”

“The part I have most enjoyed is getting to meet a lot of new people and companies and learn about new technologies. The networking opportunities are very good here, with a lot of diverse companies represented. It has been a very good experience and we will definitely return to exhibit in 2024.”

“It has been a brilliant experience. For us, the event has been very exhilarating, and we have found the conversations very meaningful. FTE events always live up to expectations. The number of attendees is growing each year and we find that decision-makers and influencers are here, and they want to have real, serious conversations. We find a lot of value exhibiting and will most definitely be back next year, hopefully with an even bigger booth.”

“FTE APEX Asia Expo is a great opportunity to connect with customers and this is one of the most critical events for us within the region. We’re very pleased with the quality and quantity of visitors – we’ve seen lots of our key customers and some target customers as well. 100% we will be back again next year – probably with a bigger booth than this year.”

“This is our third time exhibiting and I am totally satisfied. We will go home with a lot of new leads from the region. FTE brings the right quality of visitors to the event. I couldn’t expect that we would receive so many leads, so we are very happy. We will be back in 2024 and 2025, hopefully with an even bigger booth.”

“We’ve really enjoyed the event. It’s our first time here and we’ve met a lot of new clients in airlines and even some manufacturing partners that we’re looking forward to collaborating with. The quality of visitors has been fantastic, and we definitely have some new opportunities. We do plan to come back next year and continue to expand our reach into the Asia market.”

“The overall experience has been great. One of the things I’ve most enjoyed about the event is meeting all of the people in the industry, including the airline buyers and also other suppliers. The networking and quality of visitors at the show have been great – we’re seeing the full procurement teams. I would definitely do this event again – it has been very collaborative.”

“Singapore is the perfect networking location in Asia Pacific. There have been a lot of networking opportunities and we are very pleased that all of the major airports and airlines are present at the event. The quality of visitors is extremely high compared to what we are seeing at other events in this industry. We will definitely be exhibiting again next year.”

“The expo this year has been excellent. We’ve had some great visitors to the stand – the quality and depth of the visitors that we’ve had has been absolutely top-notch, so we’re very pleased with the last couple of days and what we’ve achieved here.”

“We’ve enjoyed the show, the traffic has been incredible, and we’ve had very interesting discussions with our customers and partners. I’m surprised with the quality and quantity of visitors to our stand – both have been beyond our expectations.”

“Our experience here has been amazing. It’s our first time here and we’re really grateful to be exhibiting. The number and quality of visitors to our stand has been very amazing – we’ve been able to make a lot of connections. After every conference session there has been a lot of people coming by our booth, so we’re very satisfied. Based on our experience this year, this is a very worthy event to come back to.”

“The experience here has been great. I’ve really enjoyed looking at the new innovations on the stands that are here, as well as the opportunity to showcase our own business. The number and quality of visitors to our stand has met our expectations – from our perspective, it’s much more about the quality of visitors and we’re very pleased. We’ve had some really good dialogue with some very senior people in the industry.”

“The expo has given Panasonic a unique opportunity to interact with Asia's leading airlines. We've been able to have meaningful conversations with key customers in the region about the Internet of Me experience we're offering through our NEXT IFEC platform. We've also been able to get real, tangible feedback about future technologies like biometrics that have the potential to even further improve airline efficiency and passenger engagement. All in all, it's been a tremendous success.”

“The show has been very interesting, and it has been good to see friends, partners, customers and potential customers face-to-face. We have had a busy show and we are very satisfied with the leads and conversations. The networking opportunities are always a highlight. We have booked again already for next year.”

“It’s good to meet people face-to-face again, which is very good in terms of collaboration. The audience coming to our booth is very diversified – we’ve had airlines, airports, agencies and authorities, so it’s a very positive audience we’re seeing here. The networking opportunities and social events are very good – there’s a very relaxed atmosphere. We will be back next year for sure.”

“The experience here was definitely very good. It’s great to be back and see everyone again. We’ve had a lot of visitors to our booth – I was impressed, it was even better than expected. The networking opportunities and social events have been very good, and I love the new event app that FTE is using. I have already booked our booth for next year.”

“It’s been great to show what we do to first-time customers and also to maintain that presence with our existing customers and build on those personal relationships. It’s also been great to look around the exhibition and see what’s coming next. The walk-ups to the stand have been very positive as well, so hopefully there’s plenty of business to come afterwards.”

“Our team had the opportunity to showcase an entirely new omnichannel approach that matches the changing customer needs. On top of that, we also spoke to hundreds of professionals from the aviation industry and beyond, sharing our expertise in digital customer care and our self-service solution. Together with our partners, Gen25, M2mobi, Prestop and 24 sessions, we had an extremely insightful experience at the Expo.”

“It has been a very good networking experience. This is a show that all of the leading suppliers and integrators have to attend – it’s a “go to” show for the aviation industry.”

“The show has gathered the key target market of airlines who we wanted to meet. It’s good that the show is dedicated to both airlines and airports because we can offer both in-flight seats and seating for airport lounges, so we’ve had a couple of airports stopping by too.”
