- Airport hospitality redefined – customer engagement through service innovation
Synopsis: With the changing role of airports in air travel today, any world-class airport has a lot to offer for its travellers. However, the accessibility of passengers still by and large depends on signage and traditional information counters. This provides an opportunity for airport operators to identify and develop non-traditional offerings. Mumbai International Airport introduced Pranaam for redefining the concept of airport hospitality, with the aim of turning the airport into an experience point beyond its functional importance. Pranaam is a unique concept that wraps various service offerings in a customised package that meets specific requirements of passengers from various strata.
