The Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) and CAPA – Centre for Aviation (CAPA), one of the world’s most trusted sources of market intelligence for the aviation and travel industry, part of the Aviation Week Network, are delighted to announce a comprehensive partnership for CAPA’s interiors and fleet data to serve as APEX’s official aircraft interiors database. Despite the pandemic, airline inflight product development has continued apace, supercharged by changing customer preferences, health and safety demands and airline needs to drive revenue growth in a difficult environment. The inflight entertainment and connectivity markets are bustling with energy and airlines are changing the way they think about configuring new aircraft and reconfiguring existing fleets.
APEX, Chief Executive Officer, Dr Joe Leader said:
“A defining issue of this decade in air transport will be the evolution of the passenger experience, so we are very pleased to be working with CAPA and Aviation Week Network to capture the data and insights to better understand these changes for our APEX Members.”
CAPA, Managing Director, Derek Sadubin said:
“Over the past four years, CAPA has meticulously curated the most advanced, complete and accurate aircraft interiors, experience and connectivity database in the market. We have dedicated resources in place to ensure it remains the leading data source. We are delighted to partner with APEX to making these insights available to their Members.”
Amidst the big moves and emerging trends, is the increasing requirement for airlines and suppliers to access and understand the core aircraft interiors data, in fine detail and in aggregate. Billions of dollars of investment and equipment decisions are at stake.
The CAPA Aircraft Interiors Database covers extensive data points on more than 4.5 million seats, 43,000 commercial aircraft, 600 airlines and more than 50 seats, IFE, and IFC OEMs. It is designed to be a resource for everything aircraft interiors related and allows clients to quickly see trends and spot new business opportunities.
