Bangkok, Thailand - A New Chapter for Asia-Pacific’s Premier Aviation Training Event

The Asia Pacific Airline Training Summit (APATS) is the region’s leading annual event dedicated to aviation training and simulation, bringing together airlines, training organisations, OEMs, regulators, and technology innovators from across the globe.

In 2026, APATS opens a new chapter in Bangkok, one of Asia’s most vibrant and well-connected aviation hubs. The city’s dynamic energy and strategic location make it the perfect setting for the region’s largest gathering of aviation training professionals, an event designed by and for those shaping the future of air transport training.

Across three days of conferences, workshops, and exhibition networking, APATS unites the full training ecosystem: from flight operations, cabin crew, and maintenance to ab-initio, simulation, and regulatory oversight. It’s where airlines meet innovators, regulators meet industry, and ideas meet action.

APATS offers a professional yet welcoming environment, ideal for building partnerships, exploring new solutions, and engaging with senior leaders driving training standards, performance improvement, and safety across the region.

Whether you’re validating future strategies, sourcing new technologies, or seeking insight into evolving regulation and CBTA best practice, APATS delivers unmatched opportunities to connect, collaborate, and gain competitive advantage.

Join us in Bangkok, and be part of the conversation shaping the next generation of aviation training in the Asia-Pacific and beyond.
