airBaltic Handles One Million Passenger Inquiries in 2020 #contactcenterworld Martin Gauss, chief executive officer of airBaltic said, "As soon as the first travel restrictions were enforced in March 2020, we saw a significant increase in the number of inquiries received from our passengers. Throughout 2020, we were a reliable source of information for passengers on different and changing travel restrictions through Europe." "Initially the growing number of calls and e-mails led to longer waiting times for our customers. We immediately improved our customer care and call centre capacities. By adding additional personnel, we maintained our high service levels," Gauss added. For a few months in 2020, the average call duration exceeded 14 minutes, up from 3:30 minutes as the previous average. At the same time, airBaltic managed to maintain the average waiting time in the queue under one minute. While the number of incoming calls and e-mails increased by 23 percent and 26 percent respectively, the number of conversations on social media doubled. airBaltic is actively working to improve the service it offers for customers on Facebook Messenger and other social media platforms. The safety and health of passengers is airBaltic’s top priority. airBaltic has introduced strong health measures and the flight operations follow the recommendations issued by authorities. #contactcenterworld Veronica Silva Cusi, news correspondent Date Posted: Friday, February 12, 2021 About ContactCenterWorld.com ContactCenterWorld.com is the world's premier on-line resource for the call and contact center industry.
