Battle of the Airline Apps

Which airline app is setting the gold standard for passenger experience?

Airline apps have become central to the passenger experience, from booking and check-in to real-time updates and loyalty. As expectations rise, airlines are pushing their apps to be faster, smarter, and more user-friendly.

Battle of the Airline Apps is returning for 2025 — a live, on-stage competition where airlines go head-to-head, pitching their applications to a panel of expert judges. Each airline will have five minutes to make their case, followed by a Q&A. One winner. One crown. Don’t miss it.

Inside the arena: how will the battle play out?

The top six airline apps — as voted by the public — will take to the World Aviation Festival stage to pitch their application live. Each airline gets 5 minutes to make their case, followed by a Q&A from our judging panel of industry experts.

The judges will assess based on seamlessness and simplicity of the user journey, innovation and use of tech, and real-world impact on customer experience.

Only one airline will be selected as winner — join us to see who takes the crown!
