Workshop 1, Topic 1: IFC Deep Dive – How Do We Measure the Quality of Experience?
Join this explorative session on measuring the quality of In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) experiences. This workshop is not just about discussing what makes a high-quality IFC experience but also about identifying key indicators that truly matter to passengers and airlines alike.
We will embark on a journey through various dimensions of IFC, starting with user satisfaction. How do we gauge if our connectivity services meet passenger expectations? Is it just about speed and reliability, or are there other nuances we’re missing? We will then navigate through the world of service consistency – how uniform experiences across different flights and aircraft types contribute significantly to brand loyalty and customer satisfaction.
This discussion will also touch upon the value addition aspect. How does enhancing IFC experiences contribute to the overall journey of a passenger? What benefits do airlines stand to gain by investing in quality IFC? This is a chance for us to dissect the multifaceted nature of IFC, exchange experiences, and share innovative ideas.
