If competition in the aviation industry is a war without gunpowder, then passenger satisfaction has become the decisive factor determining victory. In our era of information overload, traveler expectations continue to rise exponentially. Airlines must not only meet basic needs but accurately anticipate and exceed these growing expectations. The solution to winning this "experience-first" battle may lie at the upcoming IATA PaxInsight Forum 2025.
Scheduled for November 3-4, 2025 in Istanbul, Turkey, this premier event will gather aviation leaders worldwide to examine the latest developments in passenger satisfaction, airline brand perception, and competitive benchmarking. The PaxInsight Forum is evolving into a new phase shaped by collaboration, intelligence sharing, and actionable insights - representing an unmissable opportunity for airlines aiming to elevate their customer experience strategies.
