The FTE Commercial Collaboration Playbook
Future Travel Experience (FTE) will launch a Commercial Collaboration Playbook, to be shared exclusively with industry executives attending APEX FTE Ancillary & Retailing in Dublin on 9-11 June. The Playbook will provide a practical and proven blueprint for how air transport industry stakeholders can create a significantly bigger revenue pie for all stakeholders to share in by working in progressive new ways.
Only airline, airport, and industry executives who attend the show will receive a copy of the Playbook, reinforcing APEX FTE Ancillary & Retailing’s position as a premium, insight-led platform designed to inform real commercial, partnership, and investment decisions.
It will focus on collaborative approaches to retailing and revenue growth, examining how new partnership models, data strategies and enabling technologies can support more integrated, customer-centric commercial outcomes.
The Playbook will share the business models, partnership structures, data strategies, and technology enablers that have been proven to work and build upon them.
It will then extend these learnings into a wider set of practical use cases where similar collaborative approaches could deliver rapid and meaningful returns for other industry stakeholders. This includes areas such as retail, food & beverage, baggage services, lounges, ground transportation, destination experiences, and much more.
A Practical Blueprint for Revenue Growth
This Playbook represents the culmination of a journey FTE began with the launch of the FTE Ancillary event in 2017 and the BARTA project that quickly followed, involving Budapest Airport, Wizz Air, and Heinemann. From the outset, FTE recognised the enormous, untapped value of ancillary revenues and retailing. Following the pandemic, this commitment deepened with the formation of the FTE Ancillary & Retailing Working Group, which was created to help the industry move from aspiration to execution in collaborative retailing – an area where the opportunity has long been clear, but the path forward less so.
By bringing together senior industry leaders, proven real-world examples, and actionable frameworks, the FTE Commercial Collaboration Playbook aims to provide that missing clarity. It will also serve as a call to action, encouraging airlines, airports, retailers, brands, and technology providers to come together at FTE Dublin in June to co-create new partnerships and solutions that can turn collaborative retailing into a scalable, repeatable driver of growth.
