SWISS Station Managers Worldwide
10 April 2015
"SWISS Station Achievement Awards 2014”
Dear Station Managers
“Why do some stations retain their position in the top rankings?”
”What can we all learn from our top ranking stations? The answer is: “Behavior is the key!”
We, as the airline of Switzerland, have about 10 of potential service interactions at the airports, from
arrival procedures and special requests at the check-in, boarding procedures, and baggage
handling. All offer the potential for moments when we can provide positive moments—opportunities
to intensify the customer's loyalty to our airline.
Being in a very competing market segment our airline needs such positive moments to create
personal care in offering a customer speedy check-in procedure, by resolving a problem, or
individual attention during boarding procedure. Superb handling of these moments requires an
inborn and natural frontline response that puts the customer's emotional needs forward.
Employees deliver exceptional customer service—and perform well at moments of truth—only if they
know clearly what they are supposed to do and why. Thank you, Station Managers, to bring the
spark alive between the customer and frontline staff members and so helping to transform
our guests into strong and committed SWISS brand followers!
And now, the Oscars for the “SWISS Station of the Year Awards 2014” go to
