Could your idea become aviation’s next big ancillary revenue opportunity?

 

Have you spotted an untapped revenue stream, a better way to serve passengers, or an ancillary idea that could change the way airlines do business?
 
Inspired by Shark Tank and Dragons’ Den , the Ancillary Arena gives start-ups, entrepreneurs, and independent innovators the chance to pitch their ideas directly to a panel of senior airline commercial leaders.
 
Our judges will challenge assumptions, ask the tough questions, and share honest feedback before selecting the idea they believe has the strongest real-world commercial potential.
 
Five ideas. Five fast-paced pitches. One winner. Join us to see who takes the crown.
