Question:
The air-travel website AirHelp, a passenger rights advocacy site released a ranking of major airports around the world for 2019 (Asquith, 2020).
The list includes 132 airports evaluated on criteria like customer service, cleanliness, on-time performance, and the food and shopping options available to travellers (Matousek, 2019).
Out of 10, 8 airports that received the lowest scores are in Europe (Matousek, 2019). One of them is Gatwick Airport. It is UKs second-largest airport and was rated one of the worst airports in the world based on quality and punctuality. Crowded lounges and waiting areas have been some of the most consistent complaints about the airport (Asquith, 2020).
Additionally, Gatwick Airport has received many poor reviews within SKYTRAX with regards to their provision of service quality.
SKYTRAX is the World Airline and Airport Star Rating programme. It is a leading international rating system which classifies airlines and airports by the quality of frontline product and staff service standards (SKYTRAX, 2020). The following are examples of some of the poor customer reviews on Gatwick Airport from Skytrax-
Terrible facilities for children (SKYTRAX, 2020).
“I am actively going to avoid it. Poor security experience, queue after queue for everything. Poor food outlets with sky high prices. Treats passengers as cash
cows or cattle (SKYTRAX, 2019).
