THE CHALLENGE
Heathrow Airport is an enormous ecosystem with a myriad of complex operations that must ensure that all
passengers traveling to, from and through the airport have a reliable and memorable journey. The challenge
is exacerbated by the fact that the world’s second busiest international airport has only two runways. To track and ensure a solid performance across all service attributes in the passenger journey such as check-in, security, immigration & baggage reclaim wait times as well as helpfulness of staff and overall airport satisfaction to name a few, Heathrow’s Passenger Experience & Airport Insight team interviews more than 500,000 passengers per year.
