HD Video Interviews from APG World Connect 2023 in Monaco, France

(14/11/23) APG World Connect is one of the most exclusive and glamorous annual airline conferences in the world.

What makes this event standout from others is that APG limits attendance to around 480 delegates, comprising of carefully selected airline CEOs, Presidents and other senior management, as well as VIPs from related companies and APG offices from all around the globe.

The 14th APG World Connect took place in Monaco, France from 1-3 November 2023, and every guest staying at the Fairmont Monte Carlo was involved with the conference, an important fact that does away with awkward logistics such as transport and helps glue the entire event together.

As those attending are not only senior decision makers but also passionate about the industry in which they work, there is a common bond that makes the entire event feel more like a family gathering, rather than just another conference.

In addition to providing valuable networking opportunities, topics discussed during the conference included: Geopolitics - how civil aviation is more than a form of transport for many countries; Trains, planes, automobiles and airports - aviation at the evolution of intermodal transport; How to coordinate effective global lobbying for the air transport industry; What are the new challenges and opportunities in air cargo?; What does flying look like in the future?; and will new technologies deeply change air transport?.

In addition to the serious side of the conference, there was a lavish party on the first night and a black tie gala dinner on the second, with delegates spoiled throughout their entire stay with delicious 5-star French cuisine, scintillating Taittinger Brut Prestige Champagne and delightful Lampe de Meduse Cotes de Provence wines, amongst many other delectable treats.

To add even more glamour to the gathering, many delegates flew return 7-minute journeys between Nice Airport and Monaco by 6-seat Airbus H130 helicopters operated by Blade. The flight normally costs 195 Euros per person or 750 Euros for the whole helicopter.

Next year's APG World Connect will take 23-25 October 2024 at the Westin Dragonara Resort in Malta. Before that, APG will head to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the AGM and Asia Pacific regional training conference.
