Project Components<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Passenger Sentiment System covers discovery, benchmarking, full rollout, testing, and hypercare. It enables data-driven monitoring of key touchpoints across five terminals through dashboards, surveys, and governance that support continuous improvement and alignment with global customer experience standards.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A. The Challenge<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

King Khalid International Airport needed a systematic way to capture real-time passenger sentiment across multiple terminals, with no historical baseline and fragmented feedback channels. The challenge was to design a robust, cybersecure measurement framework that supports benchmarking, stakeholder alignment, and decision-making while sustaining high service standards and global competitiveness in airport customer experience rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. Our Solution<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We designed a multi-phase program starting with current-state assessment, stakeholder interviews, and international benchmarking. We then deployed sentiment devices and QR codes, configured test and production environments, and provided a digital survey tool. Dashboards, pilot testing, and structured training ensured adoption. A defined support, maintenance, and improvement plan secured long-term sustainability of the new measurement system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C. Key Achievements<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project delivered an operational, airport-wide sentiment measurement platform covering five terminals, with devices and QR codes mapped to the passenger journey. RAC gained real-time dashboards, pilot test insights, a clear improvement roadmap, and documented lessons learned. A 30-day hypercare period stabilized performance and enabled a smooth transition to RAC ownership, reinforcing a culture of continuous improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
