Assaia (Gold Sponsor)

The turnaround has historically been one of aviation’s least observable operating environments. Dozens of teams, vehicles and processes come together around an aircraft, but much of what is actually happening exists outside traditional airline and airport systems. Assaia changes that. “Our computer vision platform transforms existing apron video into a real-time digital representation of the turnaround while automatically identifying operational milestones, risks and deviations as they occur,” explains Tim Toerber, President – Americas, Assaia. “Having now observed more than 2.5 million turnarounds, Assaia connects airlines, airports and ground handlers around a shared operational picture. That visibility helps operators predict delays earlier, improve safety, reduce unnecessary APU usage and ultimately make every minute of the turn more predictable.”

Aviation has spent the last decade digitising the passenger journey. “We believe the next major opportunity is digitising the physical operation around the aircraft,” says Toerber. “FTE Global is strategically positioned with both broad airline, airport, and ground handler participation to lead this movement which is critical to growth of the air travel industry.”

Assaia’s strategic goals for FTE Global 2026 include:

• Celebrating operational excellence: Highlighting forward-thinking airlines and airports pushing the boundaries of technology.

Moonware (Gold Sponsor and Exhibitor)

Moonware builds the systems every aircraft needs to operate out of any airfield. Its flagship product, HALO, is an AI-powered Ground Traffic Control platform that manages aircraft turnarounds from gate-in to gate-out. HALO combines live operational data with AI to understand what’s happening on the ground, anticipate what’s likely to happen next, and help teams take the right action in real time. Moonware works across the ecosystem because a turnaround is inherently shared. Airlines, airports, and ground handlers all depend on the same operation running safely and on time. HALO gives those teams a common operational picture, moving them beyond disconnected systems and reactive coordination toward identifying risk early and acting on it.

“Ground operations are one of the biggest untapped opportunities in aviation,” says Javier Vidal, Founder & CEO, Moonware. “They shape punctuality, aircraft utilisation, and passenger experience, yet they haven’t received the same level of technology investment as other parts of the journey. We became a Gold Sponsor because FTE Global brings together the people who can change that. Our goal is to show what happens when AI moves beyond dashboards and analytics and becomes part of the live operation itself. That’s what we call Physical AI: software that understands what’s happening in the physical world and helps people coordinate and respond to it in real time. Better ground operations aren’t just an efficiency play. They’re a lever for safer operations, stronger commercial performance, and a better passenger experience.”

At the Moonware booth, attendees can see HALO in action through a live airfield deployment. Moonware will walk through how HALO coordinates crew, equipment, tasks, and aircraft activity across a turnaround, flags operational risk as it develops, and helps teams respond before issues become delays. It will also show the broader operational data HALO captures, including how that data now flows into billing and finance workflows.

“What I value most about FTE is the mix of people in the room,” Vidal shares. “Airlines, airports, ground handlers, innovators, and technology partners are all looking at different parts of the same journey, and many of aviation’s hardest problems sit between those organisations rather than within any one of them. I’m especially interested in the conversation around how AI becomes operationally useful by moving from dashboards and analysis into the physical operation itself. I’m looking forward to hearing directly from operators about where coordination breaks down today and where they see the most value in that shift.”

Hear more from Moonware at the 20^th anniversary edition of FTE Global, taking place in Dallas, Texas, on 8 to 10 September 2026.

Exhibitors

AAT Automation

With over 30 years of experience in industrial automation and more than 15 years in automated baggage loading, AAT Automation GmbH’s ABLE (Automated Baggage Loading Equipment) helps airports improve efficiency, reduce manual work, and integrate smoothly into existing baggage handling operations by automating the loading of baggage into ULDs and carts.

 

ADB SAFEGATE

ADB SAFEGATE is challenging airports to rethink what airfield infrastructure can do in an increasingly demanding operating environment. As airports face tighter turnarounds, rising traffic, pressure on margins, and increasingly ambitious sustainability targets, the company believes the traditional reactive approach to airfield maintenance and operations is no longer enough. Its Airside 4.0 vision represents a shift towards infrastructure that can participate actively in airport operations – identifying issues before they become disruptions, feeding real-time data into operational decision-making, and helping airports make better use of the assets they already have.

At the heart of this approach is the idea of a connected, intelligent airfield. ADB SAFEGATE’s AXON EQ elevated light, with integrated sensors, transforms an essential piece of airfield infrastructure into a source of operational data, while LINC connectivity provides the connections between systems and CORTEX adds monitoring and learning capabilities. Together, these technologies are designed to move the airfield away from infrastructure that simply waits to be inspected towards infrastructure that can communicate its condition and the environment around it.

At FTE Global, ADB SAFEGATE will bring this Airside 4.0 vision to the exhibition floor, demonstrating what greater digitalisation of the airfield can look like in practice. The company will explore how connected infrastructure can support more proactive maintenance, provide earlier visibility of operational or environmental changes, and help airport teams make more informed decisions using data generated directly from the airfield.

The potential benefits extend beyond individual technologies. By reducing the need for manual data collection and helping maintenance teams identify issues before they lead to unplanned downtime, a more connected airfield can support greater operational resilience while making better use of resources. For airports under pressure to do more with less, ADB SAFEGATE sees this as an important part of the business case for moving towards smarter infrastructure.

The company is particularly looking forward to having practical conversations with airport operators and engineering teams at FTE Global about what airside digitalisation means in real-world environments. That includes discussing how new technologies can integrate with existing airport systems, as well as addressing the challenges airports have encountered when implementing connected infrastructure in the past.

For ADB SAFEGATE, the connected airfield is no longer a distant concept. The technologies to make infrastructure more intelligent are already here – and FTE Global will provide an opportunity to explore what that means for individual airport operations, from maintenance and engineering through to day-to-day airfield decision-making.

ALBA Robot

ALBA Robot builds and operates the first autonomous indoor mobility platform for airports. Its self-driving electric vehicles transport passengers on demand through the terminal without an escort and without any infrastructure modification.

The platform delivers three layers of value from a single vehicle. The first is autonomous mobility for PRM, elderly, families, and any passenger who needs to move efficiently. The second is a moving DOOH advertising channel: a rear display delivers proximity-triggered promotions as the vehicle passes duty free, lounges, and F&B, creating non-aeronautical revenue from passenger transport. The third is mobile computer vision: the onboard sensors capture people flow, dwell time, and queue data across the terminal as a by-product of navigation, producing operational intelligence at zero incremental hardware cost.

“We integrate with airport operations through a centralised fleet management platform with standard APIs, and we reduce PRM service cost by 35% compared to the manual wheelchair model,” explains Giulio Ranucci, Chief Revenue & Marketing Officer, ALBA Robot. “We are currently operational at Paris CDG with Groupe ADP, Manchester, Nice, and Cagliari, with Basel and a major confidential international hub coming online shortly. In the U.S., we have just completed a significant pilot at Dallas Fort Worth International during the FIFA World Cup and are launching a new project at Denver International Airport.”

ALBA Robot’s first objective at FTE Global is to share real operational learnings. “We have just completed a major pilot at DFW during one of the most intense passenger traffic periods in the airport’s history and we are now working on a full-scope project that leverages all the platform’s value-added services,” says Ranucci. “At FTE Global we want to bring those insights to the conversation alongside the experience from our European deployments in Paris, Manchester, Nice, and Cagliari. Second, to engage directly with airport decision-makers evaluating autonomous mobility. We have proven unit economics, a clear commercial model, and a deployment playbook refined across multiple airports on two continents. Third, to expand the conversation beyond PRM. Our experience shows that most passengers who use the service are not PRM at all. They choose it because it is faster and more convenient. That shift from accessibility tool to universal terminal service, combined with DOOH revenue and data intelligence, is the story we want attendees to take home.”

The ALBA Ride vehicle will be on the company’s stand for hands-on interaction with the passenger interface. ALBA Robot will run live demonstrations of the fleet management platform showing how a single operator can dispatch vehicles, manage DOOH content, and monitor terminal intelligence from one screen. “The innovation I am most excited about is the data layer,” Ranucci shares. “We will show real terminal intelligence from our deployments: people flow, dwell time at retail zones, queue formation at gates. No static sensor network produces what a fleet of moving vehicles captures as a byproduct. That is the layer most people have not seen yet, and it changes the economic equation for airports entirely. We are also eager to share how our work with Groupe ADP at Paris CDG, our growing European footprint, and our new project at Denver are shaping the next phase of the platform.”

Baggage Media

Baggage Media is the world’s first specialist marketing agency dedicated to the aviation baggage industry. It works exclusively with airlines, airports, ground handlers and the technology companies that keep baggage moving. With 20 years of aviation and marketing experience, Baggage Media helps businesses launch products, build their brands and tell stories that resonate across the industry. “We don’t just understand aviation. We understand baggage,” says Caroline Blacklock-Vandy, Founder and CEO, Baggage Media. “For us, FTE Global is all about conversations. We’re looking forward to catching up with existing clients, meeting new innovators and showing what’s possible when marketing is backed by genuine industry knowledge.

BEUMER Group

BEUMER Group – a Strategic Partner of the FTE Baggage Innovation Working Group – will be demonstrating SECTRO, a new centralised screening solution to replace conventional linear security screening lines (SSLs). Designed to optimise flow, improve security and reduce the organisational pressures involved in keeping passengers and their cabin baggage safe, the SECTRO solution takes full advantage of the latest baggage automation technologies to optimise operations and enhance the passenger experience.

The SECTRO solution totally rethinks the passenger screening experience. It replaces multiple linear security screening lines (SSLs) with an automated process to guide people seamlessly through passenger and cabin baggage separation. The SECTRO solution is very flexible and can easily handle peak flows. It allows slower passengers to be overtaken, preventing bottlenecks. The automated baggage checking process is fully centralised, designed to optimise flow, and can achieve up to 30% savings in operational resources for the airport.

SECTRO is BEUMER Group’s fully automated system for screening passengers and their carry-on baggage. It replaces the traditional linear checkpoint with a parallel process by grouping functions together centrally.

Passengers divest at self-service stations, baggage is routed to a central screening system with images reviewed remotely, and passengers collect their belongings at a self-service reclaim station. Anything flagged goes to a separate re-check aisle, so the main flow keeps moving. The parallel layout screens the same number of passengers per hour as a serial flow, with up to 30% fewer operators. It works in new terminals and retrofits into existing ones.

Blueberry Technology

Blueberry Technology builds BBGo, an autonomous mobility service designed to help passengers who need mobility assistance move through airports with greater independence. BBGo gives passengers multiple ways to travel: autonomously, using a joystick, or with assistance from an airport mobility agent. For airports, airlines, and mobility service providers, the platform also provides fleet management, dispatch, mapping, telemetry, and operational analytics. Blueberry Technology works closely with the organisations that provide passenger assistance on the ground, so BBGo is designed to complement existing airport operations rather than operate as a standalone technology.

“Our biggest objective at FTE Global is to let people experience BBGo for themselves,” explains Rajeev Ramanath, Ph.D., Founder and CEO, Blueberry Technology. “There is a big difference between watching autonomous mobility in a video and actually getting into the vehicle, selecting a destination, and having it take you there. We also want to meet airport operators, airlines, accessibility teams, and ground service providers who are thinking about how technology can help them improve the passenger experience while addressing the growing demand for mobility assistance.”

Blueberry Technology is bringing a fully operational BBGo to FTE Global and setting up an autonomous route within the exhibition area, so attendees will be able to take an autonomous ride themselves. They will be able to experience how BBGo navigates a real public environment, how a passenger interacts with it, and how the vehicle operates as part of a broader cloud-connected mobility service. “We are particularly excited to demonstrate that autonomous mobility in airports is no longer just a concept or a prototype,” Ramanath shares. “BBGo is designed around the realities of day-to-day airport operations and the needs of passengers who may otherwise depend on someone else to get them through the terminal. We would especially like to meet people responsible for accessibility, passenger experience, airport operations, innovation, and mobility assistance services. We are happy to talk about the technology, but we are even more interested in understanding the operational problems teams are trying to solve at their airports. Our message going into FTE Global is simple: the best way to understand autonomous mobility is to experience it. Come ride BBGo.”

Bodd

Bodd is an Australian enterprise body intelligence platform helping organisations capture precise human body data at scale. Trusted by United Airlines, Bodd has built a 3D body scanner that takes about 60 seconds. That single scan matches a crew member to an airline’s entire uniform catalogue and gives them the right size across every garment, first time. It removes the need for large in-person fitting sessions, cuts returns and replacement orders, and keeps the uniform looking the way the brand intended it to look. The same scan also captures a broad set of health and wellness data, so airlines can support crew wellbeing, injury prevention and physical readiness across the whole workforce rather than one person at a time.

“Where it gets interesting for the wider ecosystem is at population level,” explains Rob Fisher, CEO, Bodd. “Once you have accurate body data across thousands of employees, you can plan uniform ranges properly, forecast sizing and stock with confidence, and understand workforce health trends. That is an intelligence layer airlines have not had access to before, and it feeds directly into better operational and commercial decisions.”

At FTE Global, Bodd wants to show airlines what becomes possible when you have accurate body data for your workforce. “Uniforms carry a lot of weight for an airline,” says Fisher. “They shape brand perception, and they affect crew safety and comfort every shift. Bodd makes uniform rollouts faster and more accurate, which means less time in fitting rooms, fewer returns, and a consistent look across the fleet. Beyond that, we want to open up conversations about crew wellness and how we can give airlines a practical way to support healthier, more resilient teams at scale. Our main objective is to build partnerships with airlines and industry leaders who can see the value on both sides: the immediate operational gain, and the longer-term benefit of having body data as part of how they run their business.”

Bodd will be running live demonstrations throughout the event, so anyone attending can stop by and try the Bodd scan experience for themselves. “It’s a genuinely fun experience, and takes only a few seconds, so you can see first-hand exactly what it will look like for your workforce,” Fisher shares. “We’re looking forward to talking through how the technology fits into airline operations, from uniform logistics to workforce wellness programs. If you’re attending, we’d like to hear where your current challenges sit around sizing, fit or staff health programmes, and look at how better data can make those processes simpler.”

BrightSign

BrightSign manufactures purpose-built digital signage media players, software, and services. “We’re the global leader in the digital signage industry, and everything we build starts from one requirement: the screen has to work, every day, without anyone needing to touch it,” explains Andre White, Regional Sales Director, BrightSign. “That requirement is sharper in air transport than almost anywhere else. Flight information displays, gate and wayfinding screens, baggage and curbside messaging, and terminal advertising all run continuously in high-traffic environments where a dark screen turns into a passenger service problem within minutes. We’re designed to integrate, not to replace. BrightSignOS is a signage-first operating system with open APIs and support for more than 200 certified CMS partners, so airports, airlines, and their integrators can connect the operational systems and data feeds they already run rather than rebuild around us. From there, BrightSign Control gives operations teams remote visibility and management across an entire estate, whether that’s one concourse or a distributed network of terminals and stations.”

At FTE Global, BrightSign wants to talk with the people who own passenger experience and terminal operations and hear where their screens are actually letting them down. “Most of what we learn about this industry comes from those conversations,” says White. “Second, we want to elevate the infrastructure behind the display from a technical consideration to a strategic business decision. Airports invest heavily in content, wayfinding design, and media programmes, then run all of it on hardware that wasn’t built for continuous operation. When that fails, it takes the whole investment down with it. We’d like to see more of those conversations happen early, at the design stage. Third, partnerships. FTE brings together CMS providers, systems integrators, and terminal designers working in aviation, and our platform only reaches passengers through them. We’re looking forward to meeting with partners in the industry.”

Attendees will see three live demonstrations at the BrightSign booth: a flight information display environment, an airport advertising and retail media application, and real-time rail schedule signage, which speaks to the multimodal side of the journey and shows the same platform handling air and ground in one deployment. “The technology I’m most excited to talk through is the integrated Neural Processing Unit in our Series 5 and 6 players, which enables AI at the edge,” White shares. “For a terminal operator, that means content can respond to real conditions in real time without shipping data offsite and without compromising video performance or security. It’s the difference between a screen that displays information and a screen that reacts to what’s happening in the space around it.”

Cordn

Cordn creates branded experiences that help organizations turn in-person engagement into measurable, shareable interactions. Its AI photo booth combines personalised generative AI imagery with optional customer information capture, instant QR delivery, live galleries, brand customisation, and participation analytics.

Within the air transport ecosystem, Cordn can help airports, airlines, technology providers, destinations, and travel brands create more memorable ways to engage passengers, customers, partners, and employees. “For example, an airport could offer a fully branded AI photo experience for passengers waiting at a gate or spending time in a lounge,” explains Zach Buss, Founder, Cordn. “Travellers could create a personalised destination-inspired image, receive it immediately on their phones, and share it, while the airport or sponsoring brand creates a more engaging and memorable part of the passenger journey. Our role is not within aircraft or airport operations themselves, but at the customer experience layer, helping organisations make innovation visible, approachable, and engaging.”

Cordn’s primary objective at FTE Global is to meet organisations that are looking for new ways to engage customers, passengers, employees, and event attendees, and show them how Cordn can build and deploy a custom AI photo experience specifically for their environment. “That could mean a fully branded experience in an airport terminal or lounge, at a conference booth, during a customer event, as part of a sponsorship, or within another high-traffic location where organisations want to create a more memorable interaction,” says Buss. “We want attendees to see the technology in action at FTE Global and immediately be able to imagine what their own version could look like. The experience can be customised around their brand, audience, campaign, destination, or use case, and we can support everything from the creative concept and AI personas through deployment, engagement features, and analytics. Ultimately, our goal is to leave FTE Global with conversations underway for custom deployments with airlines, airports, travel brands, technology companies, and other organisations across the ecosystem.”

Attendees can expect a highly interactive experience. They will be able to step in front of the booth, take a photo, select from a range of travel-inspired personas, and receive a personalised AI-generated image directly on their phone through a QR code. The experience will include professional, nostalgic, playful, and cinematic transformations inspired by aviation, international travel, and the future of the passenger journey.

“We are particularly excited to demonstrate how completely the experience can be customised,” Buss shares. “The platform can be white-labelled and designed around an airport, airline, destination, sponsor, loyalty programme, event theme, or customer campaign. The imagery, interface, personas, delivery experience, branding, information capture, and gallery can all be tailored to the organisation.”

For DataArt, FTE Global is first and foremost an opportunity to meet with people from across the aviation industry and have good conversations about the challenges they’re working through. “AI is obviously a major topic this year, but we’re particularly interested in what comes after the initial experimentation,” says McMullen. “Airlines and airports are now asking more practical questions: Where does AI actually make sense? How do we use it with our existing systems and data? And where can it make a meaningful difference to operations or the passenger experience? We want to share some of what we’ve learned from our work with aviation clients, hear what others are seeing, and hopefully identify opportunities where we can work together.”

At the DataArt booth, attendees can expect practical conversations around data, AI, automation, and technology transformation across aviation. “One area we’re particularly excited to discuss is Artisyn, DataArt’s AI-enabled delivery model,” McMullen shares. “Artisyn embeds AI agents, reusable foundations, and governance frameworks across the software development lifecycle, combining AI-enabled delivery with the oversight of DataArt’s engineering and industry teams. We’re already seeing tangible results from this approach, including up to 70% faster prototyping, a 30% improvement in development efficiency, and 90%+ accuracy in defined AI use cases. For aviation organisations, the important point is not simply delivering software faster, but applying these capabilities within complex environments where reliability, integration, and governance really matter. We’ll also be sharing perspectives and real-world examples across AI and agentic AI, data modernisation, intelligent automation, airline retailing and servicing, payments, airport operations, and operational efficiency. Rather than showcasing technology for technology’s sake, our focus will be on where these capabilities can solve real aviation challenges and create measurable business value.”

Inventory Smart’s objective at FTE Global is to reach the people responsible for keeping their facilities or fleets stocked across multiple locations, who want more visibility into what’s on hand and what needs to be reordered, without adding more manual work for their teams. Airports and airlines managing supply across terminals, departments, or aircraft are exactly who Inventory Smart wants to talk to. The company is also looking to build relationships with airports and airlines that are evaluating digital transformation of their supply chains, and to learn directly from operators about the pain points that come with managing inventory in aviation environments, so it can keep sharpening what it offers the industry.

Visitors can expect a live, hands-on look at Inventory Smart running on the same devices their teams already use, tablets, phones, or laptops, with no app to install and no dedicated hardware to buy. Inventory Smart will show how easy it is to track what’s on hand, get automatic alerts when something runs low, and generate suggested orders based on real usage, all in a system built to be simple enough for any team to pick up quickly. The company will also walk through its real-time dashboard, which brings together the data that matters most, like highest-value items, spend trends, and inventory that’s gone untouched, so decisions get made on facts instead of guesses. Expect a real system on a real screen, not just a slide deck.

LiFE in the Air

LiFE in the Air makes the end-to end software airlines use to run retail and entertainment in the cabin. There are four parts to it. The onboard POS is what the crew works with, and it keeps taking card payments when there is no connectivity, then settles once the aircraft is back on the ground. CabX is the passenger-facing side, running either on the seatback screen or on the passenger’s own devices, so airlines can monetise more of the time that passengers spend in the air by implementing advertising and in-seat ordering, promoting digital products and more. SkyConsole is the back office, where the airline’s own commercial team changes menus, prices and offers in real time. The Trolley Management System works out what actually needs to be loaded, flight by flight.

“We built the system to fit into hardware airlines already have rather than to replace it or we can bring our own,” explains Andy Palacios, Vice President, LiFE in the Air. “The solution is hardware-agnostic and modular, and it integrates with payment acquirers, catering and inventory systems, operational and flight data, and existing IFE hardware. Carriers running the full set of features typically see onboard sales rise by at least 30%.”

At FTE Global, LiFE in the Air wants to receive feedback on its retail, ancillary and digital solutions from the experts attending the event. “Second, we want to talk to carriers in North America and beyond who have not yet treated onboard retail as a serious revenue line,” says Palacios. “A lot of airlines still run the cabin on a spreadsheet, a paper manifest and the tacit knowledge. There is real money sitting in that gap. Third, partnerships. Payments, catering, connectivity, IFE hardware. Our platform is deliberately open, and the more of that ecosystem we connect cleanly to, the less integration work an airline has to absorb. We would rather leave with a dozen substantive conversations than a few hundred badge scans.”

Visitors to the LiFE in the Air booth can expect a working system, not a video loop. They can pick up the POS device, run a transaction, play around with the IFE experience, and see the back-office. The whole demo takes about ten minutes and it uses the same build the company’s airline customers are running.

“One solution we are working on is our pre-departure seat upgrade auction, which lets passengers bid on a better seat before departure, with the airline setting floor prices and the rules for who is eligible,” Palacios shares. “It sits alongside the post-departure upgrade we already offer through CabX, where a prime seat that is still empty once the doors close can be sold in the cabin. Between the two, seats that would have flown empty stop flying empty.”

• “We aim to build strategic partnerships by forging connections with airports and airlines looking to modernise their command centres, streamline workflows, and upgrade ground communications for the next decade of travel.”

Visitors to the Motorola Solutions booth will step into an interactive, simulated command centre environment. Rather than just viewing isolated products, attendees will experience a live demonstration of the technology in action, proving how unified systems rapidly detect anomalies and facilitate clear communication. Sahoo says Motorola Solutions is particularly excited to showcase these innovations:

• “Attendees will see high-resolution AI-powered video analytics from our Avigilon and Pelco portfolios that proactively detect anomalies like airfield breaches or wrong-way movement without relying solely on human monitoring.”
• “We will provide a close look at how our Resilience Platform unifies Business Impact Analysis (BIA), dynamic BCP execution, automated alerts, and real-time incident coordination.”
• “Our team will highlight the seamless integration of MOTOTRBO digital radios and WAVE PTX broadband push-to-talk with fixed video and access control, ensuring that if a camera detects an issue, an automated text-to-voice alert is instantly sent to the right team member’s device.”
• “We will feature Avtec Scout dispatch consoles to demonstrate how cross-functional teams and external agencies can coordinate seamlessly from a single pane of glass.”

Attendees can engage with the Motorola Solutions team by visiting the booth for a hands-on workflow demonstration. Solution architects will be on-hand to discuss your specific terminal, cargo, or airfield challenges. “In today’s world, the customer experience begins with safety,” Sahoo adds. “At the intersection of technology and transportation, safety, efficiency, and productivity are deeply interconnected. When your cameras, radios, and access points communicate natively, your teams can focus on what matters most – delivering a seamless and resilient travel experience. We look forward to reimagining the future of air transport with you in Dallas.”

This is not a future concept – it’s already making a difference in some of the world’s busiest airports. Since 2022, PJIC has been deployed across four continents. Each deployment has shown the value of having a live, holistic view of passenger movement – from reducing wait times to improving the way terminals are used. As airports face rising traffic and higher expectations, PJIC is helping them stay one step ahead.

Overwatch AI

Founded in 2025 by a former airline pilot and repeat AI founder, Overwatch AI is bringing an aviation-first approach to artificial intelligence and decision support. The company’s Wingman platform is designed to help frontline aviation teams find and act on operational information more quickly, addressing a problem that can consume significant time during a typical shift. “Crews lose over 30 minutes a shift hunting for information that already exists but nobody knows where,” explains Leo Kotil, CEO and Co-founder, Overwatch AI. “It’s scattered across apps, manuals, ops systems and live data.”

Built specifically for aviation, Wingman brings together the operational foundations airlines need, including METARs, TAFs, NOTAMs, regulatory content and flight data, while also incorporating an airline’s own operational manuals and internal information. When a crew member asks a question, Wingman considers both the current operational conditions and the way that particular airline operates, providing an answer tailored to the situation. The platform is designed for frontline workers across the operation, including pilots, cabin crew, OCC, dispatch and maintenance teams.

“Wingman comes from the flight deck, not from a generic AI lab,” says Kotil. “That’s exactly why it works for you.” The platform is already live with airlines operating more than 330 aircraft and handling more than 50,000 flights per month. Overwatch AI also closed a $1.5 million pre-seed round in May 2026, backed by United Airlines Ventures and Pegasus Innovation Lab, as it looks to expand its presence in the aviation market.

At FTE Global, Overwatch AI will be focused on meeting North American carriers, demonstrating Wingman and gaining a deeper understanding of the operational pain points facing the industry. The company will also be looking to build partnerships and introduce Overwatch AI to a wider aviation audience.

Visitors to the booth can expect a hands-on demonstration rather than a conventional AI presentation. “Bring us a painful scenario or a hard question so we ask Wingman live,” says Kotil. The company is particularly keen to demonstrate how the platform performs when confronted with the kinds of real-world questions that can take frontline teams too long to answer today.

The challenge is one that many aviation professionals will recognise: searching for a procedure, limitation, airport requirement or weather update, only to discover that the relevant information is spread across multiple systems or documents. “Have you ever gone looking for a procedure, a limitation, an airport requirement or a weather update and it took far longer than it should have to find the right answer?” asks Kotil. “If yes, come by booth S31 and see how we solve it.”

For Overwatch AI, FTE Global represents an opportunity not only to demonstrate what Wingman can do today, but also to listen to the industry and understand where decision support can deliver the greatest value. With an aviation-specific platform designed around the realities of frontline operations, the company is aiming to show how AI can move beyond generic assistance to become a practical operational tool.

Pattern

Pattern – a Partner of the FTE Baggage Innovation Working Group – will showcase a comprehensive approach to revolutionising baggage and ground handling operations through the use of autonomous technology and advanced routing capabilities. Skyeler Smith, Growth Director at Pattern, highlights the company’s focus on making autonomous operations a natural extension of the existing airport infrastructure, particularly through its autonomous baggage shuttle, Pathfinder.

“Pathfinder is not just about autonomous capabilities,” says Smith. “It’s also about how we support this technology with a tele-operation layer to ensure smooth operations, even in unexpected circumstances.”

The tele-operation layer allows human operators to monitor the autonomous vehicles and intervene when needed – such as when an unplanned obstacle, like construction zones, impedes the shuttle’s path. By providing operators with a full 360-degree view of the shuttle’s surroundings, Pattern ensures the vehicle can continue its journey with minimal disruption.

Key innovations also include Pulse – Pattern’s dispatch and routing optimisation tool, which plays a critical role in managing both autonomous and human-operated systems. Pulse helps to orchestrate the movement of baggage across the airport ecosystem, ensuring that both efficiency and operational quality are maximised.

“By optimising routes and dispatching decisions, Pulse empowers airports, airlines, and ground handlers to move towards more autonomous operations while solving existing efficiency gaps,” Smith explains.

The efficiency gains offered by Pulse go beyond simply automating tasks. It allows airports to explore new possibilities for baggage movement, such as remote check-ins or linking baggage flows to off-site rental car facilities. This intelligent routing provides airports and airlines with the tools to better manage the complexity of baggage logistics, improving speed, accuracy, and overall experience for passengers.

The value of this technology is especially clear when considering the passenger journey. “With the tools we provide, passengers can gain real-time visibility into the location of their bags,” Smith shares. This transparency builds confidence and trust, addressing one of the most common pain points for travellers: uncertainty about where their baggage is and whether it will make it to its destination on time.

By integrating Pulse with existing airport operations, Pattern creates a seamless experience for both passengers and airport staff. The technology doesn’t just streamline internal processes but also ensures that every step of the baggage handling process is as reliable as possible. For passengers, the innovation means fewer delays, fewer lost bags, and a more predictable travel experience overall.

Unlike other autonomous systems that can feel detached from current airport operations, Pattern’s approach meets airports where they are today. “We don’t just serve autonomy as a concept,” Smith notes. “We bring airports along the journey, helping them integrate this technology with their existing systems, providing operational teams with the visibility and tools they need to improve their efficiency.”

Pattern is already making significant strides in deploying its solutions, with active operations underway at several airports. As the technology continues to evolve, the company envisions a future where autonomy is fully integrated into airport operations, driving not just improved efficiency but also enhanced passenger experiences.

Looking ahead, Smith emphasises that the transition to autonomy doesn’t need to be a daunting leap. “Our technology is designed to bring autonomy closer to reality today. It starts with optimising the team and the systems already in place and progresses toward fully autonomous operations. With Pulse, we’re making it possible to achieve operational excellence now, while laying the groundwork for a fully autonomous future.”

Payouts Network

Payouts Network helps airlines and travel companies modernise how they deliver refunds, service recovery, incentives and other payments to travellers. “When something goes wrong during a trip, speed and flexibility matter,” says Jamison Jaworski, Chief Revenue Officer, Payouts Network. “We help companies get value to travellers quickly, whether that’s an instant payout, a meal or hotel credit, or another form of compensation. The experience can stay within the company’s brand and integrate with the systems and customer journeys they already have in place. For us, it’s about making the payout work harder. You’re solving an immediate need, but you also have an opportunity to create a better customer experience, strengthen loyalty and generate more value for the business.”

At FTE Global, Payouts Network wants to meet people and have good conversations. “Airlines and other travel companies are dealing with real challenges around disruption, refunds, service recovery, loyalty and customer experience,” Jaworski shares. “We want to understand where the friction is today and talk about how payments can help make those experiences better for both the traveller and the business. We’re also looking forward to showing people what Payouts Network can do. There’s a big difference between talking about faster, more flexible payouts and seeing how the experience works. FTE Global gives us the opportunity to do both.”

At the booth, Payouts Network will be showing how it can support different situations because not every traveller payment should work the same way. A refund is different from a meal credit. Lost baggage compensation is different from an incentive designed to drive loyalty or engagement. “That flexibility is one of the things we’re most excited to show,” Jaworski explains. “Companies can use Digital Credits for controlled spending or Instant Payouts when the traveller needs direct access to funds, all through one platform. And the experience stays branded to the company, so the technology works behind the scenes rather than getting in the way of the customer relationship.”

If you’re trying to improve a payout, service recovery process or traveller experience, bring that challenge with you to the Payouts Network booth. “The message I’d leave people with is simple: your payout dollars should do more than leave your account,” Jaworski adds. “A payout is a customer interaction, and when you get that interaction right, it can solve the immediate need, strengthen loyalty and create real value for the business.”

RAM Mounts

RAM Mounts is a leading manufacturer of rugged mounting, docking and charging solutions for mobile technology. Within air transport, its solutions support the entire journey of a device – from the flight deck and cabin to gate operations, baggage handling, ground crews and passenger processing. RAM Mounts works alongside airlines, airports, device manufacturers and technology partners to securely integrate tablets, phones, scanners and other mobile devices into real-world workflows. The goal is simple: make technology easier to deploy, more reliable and more effective for the people using it every day.

“Our biggest objective is to connect directly with airlines, airports and technology partners to better understand where mobility can remove friction from their operations,” explains Andrew DeDonker, Director of Marketing, RAM Mounts. “We want to have conversations around real use cases – whether that’s improving the boarding process, keeping devices charged and organised, enabling more efficient ground operations or supporting electronic flight bags in the cockpit. FTE Global is also a great opportunity for us to strengthen existing partnerships and identify new ways RAM can help organisations deploy mobile technology at scale.”

Attendees can expect a very hands-on experience at the RAM Mounts booth. Rather than simply looking at products, the company wants people to interact with solutions designed around actual airline and airport workflows. “We’ll be showcasing technologies for passenger boarding, device charging and management, scanning, ground operations and electronic flight bags,” says DeDonker. “We’re particularly excited about the continued evolution of the RAM IntelliSkin and GDS Tech ecosystem, including Uni-Conn and IntelliSkin H Series solutions that make it easier to protect, dock, charge and rapidly deploy mobile devices across an organisation. We’d encourage attendees to bring us their challenges. Tell us what device you’re deploying, who is using it, where they’re using it and what isn’t working today. That’s where our team is at its best. With the breadth and modularity of the RAM ecosystem, we can often help solve very specific workflow challenges while creating a solution that can scale across a much larger deployment. We look forward to connecting with the industry in Dallas and seeing where we can help make mobility work better.”

SITA

The SITA Digital Travel Lane (DTL) represents SITA’s vision for the next generation of airport and border touchpoint automation. Instead of stopping travellers at fixed control points, DTL enables continuous, in-motion identity and eligibility verification, allowing travellers to move naturally through a dedicated corridor while security checks are performed in the background. Decisions are made in real time, with officers intervening only when an exception or risk is detected. By combining on-the-move biometrics, real-time decisioning and exception-based operations, DTL helps airports, airlines and border authorities increase throughput, strengthen security and improve the passenger experience simultaneously.

DTL enables significant capacity gains without expanding terminal infrastructure, allowing airports to accommodate passenger growth without adding booths, gates or floor space. Continuous identity verification and integration with airport intelligence systems support earlier, more consistent risk assessment, while every decision remains fully auditable.

Rather than processing every traveller identically, DTL applies intelligent differentiation. Eligible, low-risk travellers proceed seamlessly through the lane, while airport and border officers retain full control over higher-risk cases and exceptions. The result is a predictable, walk-through passenger journey with fewer queues and less operational pressure, supporting premium, fast-track and trusted traveller programme.

Sittig Technologies

Sittig Technologies is a German technology company specialising in intelligent passenger communication solutions for airports and airlines. For nearly 40 years, it has been working at the intersection of airport operations, passenger information, and public address systems. Sittig Technologies’ PAXGuide platform automates and manages passenger announcements across the airport journey, integrating with existing airport and airline systems such as AODB, FIDS, airline operational data, and PA infrastructure. By connecting these different parts of the ecosystem, the company helps airports and airlines reduce repetitive manual tasks, improve consistency, provide multilingual communication, and make passenger information more accessible. Today, its solutions are deployed at airports across Europe and North America, working alongside airports, airlines, system integrators, and technology partners.

“FTE Global is a great opportunity for us to connect with both airports and airlines and discuss how passenger communication is evolving,” says Johannes Sittig, CEO, Sittig Technologies Inc. “One of our main objectives this year is to demonstrate that automated announcements are no longer simply about text-to-speech. They can become an integrated part of the passenger journey – combining operational data, airline-specific processes, visual information, accessibility, and increasingly AI-driven capabilities. We are also looking forward to exchanging ideas with the industry and exploring new partnerships and deployments, particularly as we continue to expand our presence in North America.”

Visitors will be able to experience Sittig Technologies’ solutions live rather than just see a presentation. “We’ll demonstrate how announcements can be automatically generated from operational data, how airline agents can manage their own announcement processes, and how the same information can be distributed across both audio and visual channels,” Sittig explains. “We are particularly excited to showcase two innovations. The first is our Speech-to-Text and AI-based processing, which can turn manually spoken announcements into structured, summarised, and translated passenger information. The second is Auracast broadcast audio, which enables airport announcements to be transmitted directly to compatible hearing aids, earbuds, and headphones. Together with our partners, we have already brought this technology into live airport environments in Europe, and we see significant potential for making airport communication more accessible and personalised.”

The Sittig Technologies team will be present throughout the event and happy to provide a live demonstration or discuss specific operational challenges and use cases. “My message in advance would be: come with your most challenging passenger communication scenario,” Sittig adds. “Whether it is repetitive gate announcements, multilingual communication, airline-specific procedures, accessibility, or connecting audio and visual information, we would love to discuss it. We believe the next generation of passenger communication should be more automated and intelligent, but at the same time more accessible and human-centred – and we’re excited to show what that can look like in Dallas.”

Takeoff Together

Takeoff Together’s Horizon is a turnaround management platform for airline ground operations. “We built it for the gap between the airline control centre and the ramp, including turns where airline staff and a ground handler share the work,” explains Marcin Anyszkiewicz, Founder & CEO, Takeoff Together. “OCC manages disruption across many flights; the teams around each aircraft work from different versions of the plan, and hear of a change one at a time. Horizon represents the day as a live digital twin, linking each aircraft turn to the work underway, its timing and the teams carrying it out. The twin holds the sequence of work around each aircraft across those teams. In HorizonOCC, our machine learning model, trained on U.S. flight data, predicts delay and disruption and uses those predictions to rank the flights. When an inbound runs late, Horizon computes a revised plan and shows the math behind it: how the revised timings follow from the late arrival, and which constraints the calculation held to. That calculation gives headquarters and the frontline teams at the aircraft one current sequence to work from.”

Takeoff Together has two key objectives at FTE Global. One is to find its first station: one airline or ground handler willing to run Horizon at one airport on real turns. “The second is to be argued with,” says Anyszkiewicz. “We want experienced ramp and control centre operators to work through the replay, question its assumptions and show us where it stops matching the operation they know. That criticism matters because it tells us what must be fixed before Horizon runs at that first station.”

At its booth, Takeoff Together will be replaying a real airline operating day rebuilt from public records. “It is an ordinary Friday covering seven aircraft and 34 turns,” Anyszkiewicz shares. “We chose it because one routine delay is enough to show how quickly the work around an aircraft can fall out of sequence. The day runs in HorizonOCC as a live digital twin. Our machine learning model, trained on U.S. flight data, predicts delay and disruption across the flights and ranks them by those predictions. Then one inbound begins running late. Attendees can follow the effect into its turnaround as Horizon computes a revised plan and shows the math connecting the late inbound to the timings in that revision. The iPad at the stand shows the ramp view of the same turn. Visitors can take it, follow the sequence with us and tell us where we have it wrong. If you want to see Horizon against your own operation, give us one day of your history. We rebuild that day in the simulation and run Horizon against it, then show you what it produced. Our time, not yours. No integration, no access to your live systems.”

Tremendous

Tremendous is a payouts platform that lets airlines send money to anyone, anywhere, instantly. Airlines can offer passengers over 2,000 payout options across 200+ countries, including bank transfer, PayPal, Venmo, prepaid cards, and gift cards, all without downloading an app or creating an account. For the air transport ecosystem, Tremendous sends disruption compensation during irregular operations, from baggage reimbursements, to denied boarding, to grounds transportation and meal vouchers. Tremendous also supports crew incentives and loyalty rewards for airlines. Airlines trigger payouts either directly through the dashboard or via API, and passengers get funds in minutes rather than weeks. Tremendous handles the payment infrastructure, and global delivery so airline teams can focus on recovery, not reimbursement logistics.

Tremendous’ key objectives at FTE Global are to meet the airline operations, customer experience, and finance leaders who own disruption recovery; learn directly from carriers about where compensation workflows break down today, from the gate to the back office; and connect with the technology partners already embedded in IROP and passenger service workflows to discuss partnerships.

Attendees can walk up and experience a live payout end-to-end: Tremendous will send them real compensation on the spot, and they’ll see exactly what their passengers would see. There will also be a prize wheel on the booth.

TripAdd

TripAdd is a travel technology company based in New York that operates as an AI-powered marketplace for travel ancillaries. Founded in 2020 as part of the Blue Ribbon Bags Group, the company’s primary mission is to simplify the travel experience by using machine learning to curate personalised bundles of services like travel eSIMs, airport lounge access, flight alerts, and eVisas. By analysing specific trip details, TripAdd’s engine selects the most relevant products and combines them into discounted packages, moving away from the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach of traditional travel sites. The company functions largely as a B2B (business-to-business) white-label solution, allowing Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), airlines, and other travel providers to integrate its marketplace directly into their own booking flows. This enables these partners to offer a more comprehensive service to their customers while generating additional revenue through high-margin ancillary sales. A significant milestone for the company occurred in 2022 when it acquired Eddy Travels, a Lithuanian AI chatbot innovator. This acquisition allowed TripAdd to integrate advanced natural language processing and automated customer support into its ecosystem, further enhancing its ability to provide real-time, intelligent recommendations.

Headquartered in New York with a major R&D hub in Vilnius, Lithuania, TripAdd positions itself at the intersection of travel and artificial intelligence. By leveraging the existing infrastructure and network of its parent group – which has relationships with over 300 OTAs worldwide – TripAdd has rapidly scaled its presence in the global travel market. Its value proposition centres on ‘stressless travel’, aiming to handle the small but vital details of a journey through automation, thereby saving travellers both time and money while helping travel businesses modernise their digital offerings.

VIBEQUEST

VIBEQUEST will present the DREAM, a premium seat overlay that transforms any standard airline seat into a first-class comfort experience with vegan leather, plush light padding, an adjustable inflatable lumbar system, and an articulating head pillow. Engineered to aerospace standards, it installs in seconds with no tools, no crew assistance, and no seat retrofit. Passengers already self-serve seat selection, bags, and meal upgrades. VIBEQUEST will show how carriers extend that same model to comfort, offering the Dream as a bookable ancillary, a loyalty redemption, or a premium amenity. VIBEQUEST bears the capital cost. The airline earns recurring revenue from day one with zero fleet downtime.

VIBEQUEST will walk through the unit economics of a revenue share concession, and the two crew touch points, delivery to the seat and pickup on final approach. Attendees leave with a clear picture of a new ancillary category requiring no capex, no retrofit, and no certification burden, plus a product they can sit in at the VIBEQUEST stand for proof.

The new VIBEQUEST Dream makes its public debut at FTE Global. The Dream is a rentable premium seat overlay that converts any standard economy seat into a first-class comfort experience, paired with a new ancillary model where the airline earns recurring per flight revenue at zero capital cost to the airlines. Attendees can sit in the production unit at the booth for proof. All upside for the airlines with zero capex.
