APEX and the Crystal Cabin Award have opened submissions for a new Seamless Journey recognition programme focused on innovations that make air travel smoother across the full passenger journey. Entries are open until 30 September, with the award to be presented at APEX FTE Expo in Singapore on 19 November.
The joint initiative targets concepts that connect the aircraft cabin with pre-flight, airport, ground transport, transfer and post-flight touchpoints. Eligible ideas include products, services and digital solutions that improve the customer experience beyond the seat itself, giving airlines, airports, manufacturers and technology suppliers a dedicated platform for journey-wide innovation.
The programme sits alongside the established Crystal Cabin Award, but follows its own application and selection process. Submission materials are available through the Crystal Cabin Award website, and the award will be handed out during the APEX ceremony in Singapore, adding a regional showcase for passenger-experience technologies and cabin-linked service design.
