SINGAPORE (20 November 2024) – Last night in Singapore during FTE APEX Asia Expo 2024 – Asia’s most significant aviation event dedicated to the passenger experience and business performance – the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) honored the 2025 APEX Best™ in Airline Awards recipients. The awards recognize airlines from Central/Southern Asia, Eastern Asia, Greater China, and the South Pacific for their excellence in delivering exceptional passenger experience across five key categories: Cabin Service, Entertainment, Seat Comfort, and Wi-Fi and Food & Beverage – which is presented in partnership with IFSA (International Flight Services Association). 

The APEX Best™ Airline Awards are a prestigious recognition based entirely on anonymous, third-party passenger feedback collected through APEX’s partnership with TripIt® from Concur®, the world’s highest-rated travel organizing app. Passengers rated more than one million verified flights across nearly 600 airlines worldwide using a five-star scale to provide ratings in the five aforementioned categories.
