Improving Airport Customer Experience Through Technology
A passenger's journey through an airport involves myriad touchpoints (e.g., check-in, security screening, boarding, concessions, and other amenities). Time constraints, unfamiliarity with the terminal layout or protocols, unexpected events (e.g., flight delays, cancelations, gate changes), and poor customer service can result in a poor experience for travelers. Airport industry practitioners are realizing there are opportunities to improve customer experience, and recently developed technologies can play a role. Yet many of these technologies are nascent, particularly in the airport setting, and may require significant investment and coordination among various stakeholders. Airport industry practitioners would benefit from a guide to help identify, evaluate, select, and implement technologies related to customer experience. The objective of this research is to develop a guide and resources to help airport industry practitioners evaluate, select, and implement appropriate technologies to enhance customer experience.
