FTE APEX Asia Expo

“The aviation industry in Singapore is a key contributor to the growth of the local economy. When the Covid-19 pandemic struck, Singapore continued to put in resources to ensure the safety and wellbeing of its residents as well as incoming travellers. As one of the headline partners, Changi Airport Group looks forward to welcoming our industry partners and friends at the FTE APEX Asia Expo 2022 event, to be held in Singapore in November 2022.”

"We all want to see travel return swiftly and its important that we as an industry set an example on getting back on planes when the time is right. Whilst the pandemic has slowed us down we all know that aviation is set for strong growth in the years to come here in Asia, and we need to plan for that future together - FTE APEX Asia Expo is an invaluable industry trade show for the region, and I look forward to meeting many old, and new, friends at the wonderful Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore this November."

Trade shows like FTE APEX Asia Expo deliver huge value because you are able to meet hundreds of new and existing contacts under one roof, which is simply not possible through any other means. Singapore is ready to welcome the world again and we can’t wait to stage Asia’s biggest free to attend passenger experience and business performance expo at the Marina Bay Sands Singapore this November 9-10.

“Asia remains a critical market to build and maintain strong relationships for the resurgence of air travel, which is why we are very excited to stage FTE APEX Asia Expo in Singapore once again this from November 9 to10. Asia is still the number one growth region worldwide in the coming decades, and this show will play an important role in supporting all of aviation’s stakeholders as they plan for the future.”

FTE APEX Asia EXPO was a great success. We need FTE to bring people, ideas and solutions together to co-create new steps to advance the industry and along with it the countless benefits societies can benefit from travel

As the leading digital engagement service partner with a specially trained team of over 100 professionals, RIFF was very honoured to be part of Asia’s biggest passenger experience and business performance exhibition. 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 FTE ASIA EXPO.

“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. Asia truly deserves a show of this magnitude in its own right, which is why I am getting behind it.”

We’ve had a really good couple of days at FTE APEX Asia EXPO, it’s really good to see our existing customers and new airline customers coming through. Showcasing our newest technology, it’s been really good to see all that traction through both pre-arranged meetings and walk through meetings. A fantastic couple of days here.

This is a great opportunity for me to learn things beyond engineering. There are experts who are sharing their views on customer experience, they’re sharing their views on alternative methods of fuel, engineering and so on. First it’s a great learning zone, second, you meet people whom you have not met for a very long time and the third thing it has a very vibrant start up ecosystem. The combination of these three is important and it’s an enriching experience to be here.

“What I bring home with me would be the approaches and the ability to identify and anticipate what’s coming in the future. I’ve heard from some very forward-thinking stakeholders here in the conference. The exhibition format is good, and there’s a good mix between ancillary opportunities and classic passenger processing issues, as well as some next level things like wireless IFE. Being here makes you see how all of these things connect.”

“Future Travel Experience Asia 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.”

“We have been part of the Start-up Showcase and we’ve had a lot of people visiting, including people from Google and Changi Airport. Basically, the type of people who could become our direct business partners are here.”

“It has really been worth coming from northern Finland to this event. We have met big airlines and we have been talking about potential business models, which is very good. I’ve got lots of contact cards and had some interesting discussions about potential business models.”

“There is a good mix of travel companies that can help airlines make travel easier and revolutionise travel. It’s a good platform for people from airlines, airports and technology companies to share ideas to improve service levels, efficiency and the service we deliver to our customers.”

“We’ve had lots of people come by the booth. We were six-deep yesterday morning. I’m amazed at the amount of Japanese and Thai people here and the visitors to our stand tend to be quite knowledgeable. The potential leads are good so it’s definitely worth being here.””

“It’s my first time at an FTE event and I’ve found it very informative and useful. Many of the exhibitors have been relevant to me, the conference sessions have been great and the speakers have been very open to sharing what they’re doing. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot.”

“It’s our first time presenting our product in the Asia market. 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.”

“Attending FTE Asia is an incredibly valuable event for Copenhagen Optimization and provided excellent settings to meet with clients, industry experts, and other stakeholders. The exhibition was a great platform for our software product launch to the APAC region”

“Great show for networking with air transport industry players, perfect organisation.”

“FTE Asia is for us the most important event for meeting existing customers and potential new customers. It was again successful for us and we are already looking forward to participating again in 2020.”

“FTA Asia has been a great opportunity to meet with all those passionate about delivering the very best in customer experience, both on the ground and in the air.”

“FTE Singapore has been the best experience. Great atmosphere, awesome people and fab industry contacts. We shall definitely be back”
