Editor's letter: Gearing up for global connections

Jane Hobson, Managing Editor, PAX International
As we gather together for IFSA Global EXPO in Long Beach, it’s clear that the industry’s focus is set on innovation and collaboration. This year’s event is a pivotal opportunity for professionals in airline catering, onboard services and passenger experience to gather, share ideas and showcase the products and solutions that will shape the future of air travel.
In this issue, we explore the crucial theme of transforming air transport. From the logistics of food and beverage supply chains to the integration of sustainability in passenger services, we delve into the complexities of keeping the skies stocked and passengers satisfied. With rising demand for efficient, eco-friendly solutions, the spotlight is on the companies and innovators who are pushing boundaries to enhance the travel experience.
These pages reveal that creativity is a necessary ingredient in modernizing the passenger services space. gategroup’s Chef Molly Brandt, Executive Chef of Culinary Innovation, puts it eloquently: “Creativity is like a muscle—if you don't constantly flex it by immersing yourself in your craft and related influences, it becomes hard to innovate,” she says.
As you flip through these pages, we hope to immerse you in stories and insights to fuel your creativity, excitement and curiosity for the future that is ahead. See you in Long Beach!
