The Dynamic Customer Feedback Project in Dubai Airport is a part of the Passenger Experience Programme by Dubai Airports Authority for Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum International (DWC). Dubai Airports Authority, responsible for managing the two airports in the emirate of Dubai namely Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), plans to set up a state-of-the-art dynamic passenger sentiment and feedback system to understand passenger feedback and sentiment, to quicken issue resolution process, and to ensure best in class services to passengers traveling through the two airports in Dubai.
IDS Research and Consultancy with its local presence in Dubai has been instrumental in managing hardware, installations and on ground support to the DWC airport in Dubai in partnership with Zonka who will be providing the entire feedback software and support. Currently the project is at a testing phase (POC). This project will help the airport authority to draw insights from in-depth reports available at Zonka dashboards to strategize and plan key improvements and changes at the Dubai Airports based on the passenger feedbacks captured.
Study Proposition
Dubai Airports are the busiest airports in the world. In 2016, DXB handled 83.6 million passengers. This figure continues to grow with every passing year.
