Customer as a data packet

Airlines are not so very different from the logistics industry — both must be able to coordinate the location and movement of equipment, staff and resources with tremendous precision.

Why read this report

  • Existing technologies such as in-flight Wi-Fi, mobile devices and social media can help the industry improve the customer experience at a manageable cost.
  • By adapting customer information management strategies from other industries, airlines can empower passengers by personalising air travel, making it pleasurable once again.
  • Best practices in hospitality, logistics and gaming offer powerful road maps for improving the customer experience, thus boosting loyalty and increasing repeat business.
