What Our Community Says
Hear directly from the airline, airport, and industry leaders who make FTE Global the definitive event for air transport innovation.
“It has been very valuable for us to network with our airport partners here at APEX FTE Dublin, as well listening into what the future is going to be bringing us, considering the customer experience and evolution of the airport environment. We also had a chance to meet with some service providers, which may be contributing to our products and …offers. So, it’s a great opportunity to meet with stakeholders from the airport environment and exchange ideas. In terms of networking, I think it’s wonderful that we are given the opportunity to set up some catch-up times with the other attendees, and it gives us an opportunity to meet with senior executives of the airports and other companies too. I’m pleased that we’ve been attending APEX FTE Dublin for a long time now and we will hopefully be back again next year. ”

“It’s been a good few days for us here at APEX FTE Dublin, with excellent networking and the opportunity to discuss our solutions with the airlines and those that are looking at the ancillary products. I’ve actually had the opportunity to attend some of the conference sessions as well and they’ve been very fruitful, with a lot of insight into …AI and automation. The social events at APEX FTE Dublin are fantastic – we always get off to a great start with the ‘Ice Breaker’, which is perfect for informal networking. This is our third year attending and we are committed to attending again next year. A big thumbs up for FTE. ”
