Impressive history
Through its quarter century in business, PAX has been the trusted source of news covering IFSA, continuing the trend in partnership with APEX and FTE. PAX journalists worked diligently with APEX through the pandemic, covering the Associations’ advocacy to reopen U.S. borders, to return to in-person conferences and to lift the inflight mask mandate.
This year, PAX will be present at APEX/IFSA and FTE Global EXPO, taking place at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center this fall. In 2023, the event brought together almost 3,000 attendees, more than 97 airlines and 76 airport operators. PAX was thrilled to be onsite sharing live updates from the 2023 EXPO, including speakers, the exhibition floor and media briefings.
PAX Tech will cover FTE APEX Asia Expo this year, following up from last year’s coverage. Check out the November 2023 news here, including updates from the show floor in Singapore. From the ribbon cutting to the Best in Airline Awards, PAX captured it all and will do so again this year as a proud media partner for APEX/IFSA and FTE.
