GAP - Global Airline Performance


Passenger satisfaction survey on long haul flights

GAP is a benchmarking customer satisfaction research program for airlines operating long-haul routes, covering the full travel experience from reservation and check-in to in-flight services and baggage delivery.

Customer satisfaction is an important element in retaining existing clients, gaining new ones and dramatically increasing profitability.
To find out what your target segment is looking for, you can rely on GAP to:

  • Find out how the market reacts to the introduction of new products or modifications to existing ones, and adjust your services accordingly (aircraft type, configuration, service).
  • Provide your team with enough pertinent information to make sound decisions and the confidence to stand behind them.
  • Identify changes in taste, preferences and drivers that influence personal choices over time.
  • Assess the performance of your business partners and make rapid adjustments when needed.
  • Discover new business opportunities.

Global AIrline Performance has been providing the industry with valuable monthly results since 1999 on both the Europe-Asia and Transatlantic routes. It is the perfect tool to measure the attitudes and opinions of your customers and your competitors.
