The definitive event for innovators, technologists, designers, collaborators, and gamechangers
Widely regarded as "the CES for aviation", FTE Global continues to redefine the future of air transport, returning to Los Angeles in 2025 – a city buzzing with innovation as it prepares to host the 2028 Olympics.
