The APEX / IFSA Awards recognize specific achievements that are successfully implemented in the past year (defined this year as July 2024 – June 2025). The achievements should not be just a general improvement or a modification upon an already existing program – they must be innovative and new.
The APEX / IFSA Awards are open to members of both organizations (airlines must be members, vendors, lessors for APEX and airlines must be members, rail, caterers and suppliers for IFSA).
A panel of judges comprised of current APEX/IFSA members will review and score all submissions to determine finalists. Finalists will move on to a second round of judging either via teleconference or in-person at EXPO featuring a panel of media and/or member judges.
The awards recognize innovations in the following categories:
APEX AWARDS
- Innovation Award for Best Inflight Connectivity
- Innovation Award for Best Inflight Entertainment
APEX/IFSA AWARDS
- Innovation Award for Best Cabin
IFSA AWARDS
- Best Inflight Food or Beverage
- Best Onboard Amenity
