Air Charter Service’s Post

Here's a great picture of the hundreds of balloon pilots that attended Europe's largest balloon festival that I attended last week. What you can't see in this picture is the fact that many of them were likely as tired as I was having camped on site and been blasted by music from the tannoy all hours of the day and night. Thankfully, in the end the weather wasn't so good and no one had to fly. It really got me thinking about the importance of helping to create the right environment to enable everyone in aviation to perform to their best. Some of these we can control, like the hotels that crews stay in, the shift patterns people work and how easy it is to get from the parking to the ops building. Others are more difficult and more in the hands of individual staff members. The main thing is to know these different challenges exist, except that humans are not machines and think about the different stressors that impact people's ability to perform to the best of their abilities. As we reach the later part of the summer, it will have been long few months for many people. What are you doing in your organisation to help your staff get through the summer?

#Delivery #is #key Good communication has many aspects, and the most important to me is a clear message. However, just as important is making sure your audience receives the message. Some ads have great messages, but people scroll away or change the channel. Keeping an audience's attention has become increasingly difficult in the age of 60-second social media clips and ever-shrinking attention spans. Many organizations waste tons of money on ads nobody watches because they can't keep their audience's attention. But not CORENDON. Their new inflight safety video for the Curaçao market is a definite attention grabber. I'm guilty myself of scrolling through my phone or sending last-minute text messages while the flight attendant gives important safety information, but I couldn't look away from CORENDON's video. It's fun and engaging, and it conveys the safety message effectively. CORENDON joins the likes of Qantas and British Airways in creating alternative, fun inflight safety videos. This is the way to do it if you want people to actually pay attention. This approach can be adopted by all industries, including governments and NGOs. So don't just think about the message; also think about your delivery. That's if you don't want to throw money down the drain, of course. 😀

Speaking of airline membership programs, there is still a lot of work to be done to modernize and customer centricity who generates those miles/points to lead them total control but for now, there is a major change at Flying Blue. Last fall, it was announced that Air France KLM Flying Blue members would soon be able to add a free stopover on award bookings. Four months ago, the program made an official announcement on its website about the stopover program; however, some members have reported issues with booking stopovers, especially with partner airlines. It appears that the stopover feature, including with partner airlines, is now confirmed to be live, as the head of Air France/KLM Flying Blue, Ben Lipsey, has posted details on FlyerTalk. Few loyalty programs offer such a benefit, and in the recent past, more programs have taken this feature away rather than add it. In fact, Flying Blue now has one of the most generous stopover policies, allowing members to stay for up to a year at no extra cost! Free Stopovers on Air France/KLM Flying Blue Redemptions You can now book stopovers of between 24 hours and one year on reward bookings made with Flying Blue miles. There is no additional cost in miles or cash to add a stopover, which is a great deal. For the time being, all stopovers must be booked over the phone with the call centre, but hopefully the ability to book online will be rolled out in the future.  Last fall, when the initial announcement about stopovers was revealed, it was suggested that the feature would only be available on flights operated by Air France or KLM. However, in the FAQ section, it states that stopovers may be added with Air France, KLM, or partner airlines, which means that any partner airline of Flying Blue is eligible. With this development, Flying Blue joins the ranks of other major loyalty programs that offer stopovers on award bookings, including Air Canada Aeroplan, Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan, and Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer.
