BUSINESS RECOMMENDATION

Data-driven Recommendations

24 of 28

Prioritize High-Impact Segments

Leverage High-Satisfaction Business Segment

Address Low-Satisfaction Economy Segments

Business travel - Business shows the highest satisfaction (~72%), indicating strong response to service quality. Maintain and enhance premium experience to retain high-value customers

Personal Travel - Eco and Eco Plus show extremely low satisfaction (<20%). Target these segments for improvement to reduce dissatisfaction at scale

25 of 28

Focus on High-Impact Service Attributes

Prioritize Inflight entertainment, Cleanliness, and Online boarding

Differentiate Secondary Services

These attributes show the largest rating gap (~0.8–0.9) between satisfied and dissatisfied customers. Improving these areas is most likely to increase satisfaction.

Attributes such as food and wifi show smaller or segment-specific impact. Optimize rather than heavily invest across all segments.

26 of 28

Apply Segment-Specific Service Strategy

Enhance Service Quality for Business Travelers

Re-evaluate Strategy for Personal Travelers

Strong rating gaps across all service attributes indicate high sensitivity. Service improvements will directly increase satisfaction.

Minimal rating differences and observed inconsistencies suggest service is not the primary driver. Investigate alternative factors (e.g., pricing, expectations, travel purpose)

27 of 28

Improve Operational Reliability Strategically

Reduce Major Delays to Prevent Dissatisfaction

Balance Operational vs Service Investment

Satisfaction drops from ~47% (no delay) to ~35% (major delay). Delay reduction helps prevent negative experiences.

Delay impact exists but is smaller than service and segment factors. Prioritize service improvements while maintaining operational efficiency.
