The Pressure on Modern Travel Operations

In today’s aviation and hospitality sectors, customer experience is not just a service metric it is a strategic advantage. Airlines, hotels and OTAs face relentless demands:

  • Managing thousands of queries in real time
  • Navigating complex policy rules and dynamic inventory
  • Recovering quickly from irregular operations (IROPs)
  • Providing instant, accurate, brand-consistent responses

Yet traditional systems from siloed call centres to rigid booking portals cannot keep pace. Delays compound, passengers grow frustrated and operational costs spike.

The Reality: Customer Experience Turbulence

  • 72% of passengers expect resolution in under 5 minutes during disruptions
  • Call centre wait times can exceed 20 minutes in major hubs during IROPs
  • 40% of booking drop-offs are caused by confusing filters or unclear policies

When severe weather hits, aircraft are swapped or hotels overbook, the gap between expectation and reality becomes painfully clear.
