The Weekly Wrap: Delta’s Connectivity Plans, Behind the Scenes of APEX Experience
Share
In this episode of The Weekly Wrap with APEX, Maryann and Seth look at how the re-opening of international transit hubs in the UAE and Asia is enabling long-haul travel again; why the UK’s 14-day quarantine policy for incoming travelers is unpopular with airlines; and a new partnership between Honeywell and the UV disinfecting solution GermFalcon. They also discuss Delta’s plans to diversify its in-flight connectivity portfolio and what that could mean for Gogo, as well as Phasor’s new owner.
The special guest this week is deputy editor of APEX Media, Valerie Silva, who provides an insight into how the editorial team pivoted on its planned topics to focus on the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic and shares her thoughts on some of the more notable interviews and features.
