FuelRod was proud to serve as the Official Mobile Charging Sponsor of the 2025 Airport Experience Conference (AXC) in Washington, D.C., held March 29 – April 1. As a company committed to powering travelers on the go, we were thrilled to be part of this industry-leading event, where innovation, partnership, and passenger experience took center stage.
Keeping Attendees Charged & Connected
Throughout the conference, FuelRod provided complimentary FuelRod Kits and unlimited swaps to all attendees—ensuring no one had to worry about a dead phone while navigating sessions, networking, or exploring the experience exhibit floor. Our mission has always been simple: keep travelers powered and mobile, and AXC was a perfect platform to showcase how we do exactly that.
Unveiling the Gen. 2 Kiosks: Compact & Standard Sizes
AXC 2025 also marked a major milestone as we officially introduced our new Generation 2 kiosks to the airport industry. Available in both Compact and Standard sizes, the Gen. 2 models are designed with upgraded user interfaces, faster transaction speeds, improved reliability, and modern form factors to better fit various airport environments. FuelRod’s existing network of airport partners will begin upgrading to Gen. 2 kiosks throughout 2025 as part of a nationwide rollout, bringing these enhanced capabilities to travelers across the country.
The new Gen. 2 design represents the next step in FuelRod’s evolution—bringing greater flexibility to our partners while improving the traveler experience across terminals nationwide.
Introducing the FuelRod MAX10: More Power, More Freedom
In addition to the Gen. 2 kiosks, we showcased the latest product in our Swappable Power lineup: the FuelRod MAX10. This powerful new addition offers a 10,000 mAh capacity, MagSafe and wireless dual charging, and—like all FuelRods—is fully swappable at any Gen. 2-enabled kiosk. With the MAX10, airports can now offer passengers an even more powerful, modern charging solution that supports today’s high-demand devices.
Connecting with Airports Nationwide
The AXC Conference was also a valuable opportunity for our team to meet with existing airport partners and introduce new potential locations to the FuelRod Network. Our conversations focused on how FuelRod’s service helps airports create a more seamless, convenient experience for travelers—allowing them to stay powered while exploring, shopping, dining, and making the most of their time pre-flight.
We’re not just helping passengers avoid becoming gate-huggers or outlet-seekers—we’re helping airports enhance traveler satisfaction and drive non-aeronautical revenue by keeping guests mobile and engaged throughout the terminal.
