Airport Customer Experience

Airports are becoming destinations in their own right so customer experience (CX) solutions must be at the heart of airport design.

Making the most of customer experience opportunities 

From driving passengers’ propensity to choose your airport over the competition to increasing their non-aeronautical spend, giving customers a positive experience will pay dividends for your airport. 

✓ Improve your airport’s brand equity. Happy passengers will help you secure positive online reviews, in-person recommendations and return customers.
✓ Drive non-aeronautical spend. Generate a positive atmosphere and customers will be more inclined to spend more on retail and dining. Increased revenue attracts interest from high-end brands and supports route development.
✓ Efficiency leads to greater spend. Investing in technologies that streamline airport operations will reduce congestion giving passengers more leisure time.
✓ Boost employee morale. Fewer stressed or concerned passengers will improve the work environment for your staff and allow them to focus on delivering gold standard service.  

Building the airport customer experience 

A seamless airport customer experience requires the perfect blend of strategic vision, design and management. By taking a holistic approach centred on these three pillars, our multidisciplinary team of consultants and engineers can help you define your ambitions, anticipate challenges and deliver for your passengers.

Putting customers at the heart of your strategy 

Customer experience must be seen as an integral part of your airport’s strategy. By aligning your commercial, operational, and digital strategies, your airport can create a seamless and satisfying passenger journey.  

Collaboration across the airport ecosystem is also essential to this. Whether that’s by streamlining processes to reduce wait times and improve passenger flow; leveraging technology and data to deliver personalised services; or by enhancing retail, dining, and premium services. Working with airlines, retailers and technology partners helps deliver a cohesive experience for your passengers.  

As your partner NACO can help you navigate these strategic choices and achieve your airport’s goals through expert guidance and innovative solutions.
