IATA Customer Service: An Aviation Perspective aviation training course

Studies prove that it can cost 5 times more to attract a new customer compared to retaining a customer. Great customer service is key to retention and therefore it is critical for a business to provide consistently excellent service. With new technologies being introduced to the market, customer service teams need to be even better equipped to work with limited face-to-face interaction while being culturally and emotionally educated.

This course runs over 3 days with 3 hours a day of live interactive learning with an instructor, complemented with case studies and other learning materials to study at your own pace each day. This course will help you develop an understanding of customer service; key skills to create lasting and satisfying relationships with customers; and to deal with customer conflict resolution from an aviation perspective. A must-have to keep up with the demands within this global industry which is experiencing an increasing number of passengers and operates within a constantly changing and challenging environment.
