We’re back in Hamburg for another go at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2024, taking a look at what the future will be for commercial aviation.
DLD 481: A dash of regulatory oversight

Regulators are forcing airlines to do good things for passengers, which is refreshing. Plus maybe a new Dubai airport a decade from now, and lots more.
DLD 467: Cold as ice

Winter weather is giving the industry some troubles, but there’s still plenty of hot news to discuss..
What does the future of air travel hold? Odds are it will appear on the show floor at Aircraft Interiors Expo a few years before it flies, and we’ve got a report from the show.
DLD 385: Worst birthday party ever
- May 19, 2022
- Tagged as: Air France, Avianca, Brazil, business class, credit card, credit cards, EWR, flat beds, GOL, Hawaiian Airlines, Heathrow, IFC, ife, IFEC, inflight connectivity, inflight entertainment, inflight wifi, LHR, lounge, lounges, merger, Newark, Panasonic Avionics Corporation, pilot shortage, podcast, Southwest Airlines, Star Alliance, United Airlines, Viasat, wifi
Sure, the conversations were great, but our plans for birthday festivities came up short.
Fancy new screens, a questionable route plan, open borders (sortof) and a trio of new/renewed airlines make the news this week. Plus, what happens if you don’t pay a DOT fine??
DLD 260: APEX EXPO 2019–The hunt for news!
- September 19, 2019
- Tagged as: Acro, Acro Seating, AIX, antenna, APEXEXPO, APEXEXPO19, Bluetooth, catering, economy class, electronically steered antenna, electronically steered phased array, ESA, IFC, ife, IFEC, in-flight connectivity, in-flight entertainment, in-flight internet, inflight entertainment, Inflight VR, Los Angeles, Optimares, PaxEx, podcast, Qatar Airways, Quadra, seating, seats, Spirit Airlines, virtual reality, wifi
When APEX, AIX and IFSA get together there should be enough going on to generate some interesting news. Or, perhaps not. The annual Fall trade show bonanza was slow this year, but we still managed to find a few things to talk about.
Another year of APEX EXPO is in the books and, as always, lots of cool developments. Plus a few really bad ones. Listen now to learn what you’ll be flying soon.
What’s next for seats, internet and entertainment on airplanes? Aircraft Interiors Expo is the place to find out and here’s this week’s show wrap up.
A special episode recorded at the 2014 APEX Expo in Anaheim, California. A bunch of special guests talking cabin interiors, IFE, connectivity, dining and more!
