REVIEWS

Finally, there is a text that is both practical and useful, fit for training existing staff or use in the lecture hall to prepare future airline professionals! Colin Law has found a way to equip the airline industry for the challenges of 21st century service expectations. [Law] challenges us to look beyond load factor and understand the humanity and service mentality required to effectively and efficiently construct a lasting loyalty loop. I highly recommend this text, and look forward to additional works by this author for his attention to simple explanations that can be used to convey information to a wide array of experience levels.
Joseph Iesué, Assistant Professor, Department of Culture and Tourism, Yong In University

Service quality is one of the key factors influencing a customer’s purchasing decision, and [it is] particularly important for an airline to develop in today’s unregulated and competitive environment. Law’s book addresses this issue and provides comprehensive guidance for understanding the needs and preferences of passengers, and the skills necessary to satisfy them. Practitioners in both airline and service industry will undoubtedly benefit from reading this book. In addition, tertiary students will gain substantial background knowledge about the airline industry, and a good understanding of how the passenger service can be achieved. This book can also serve as a valuable reference for academics conducting research in the airline industry.
Dr. Shane Zhang, Senior Lecturer (Economics), University of Southern Queensland

This book is an essential read for beginners who are keen to learn the ropes in the airline service industry. Law addresses the importance of excellent customer service, challenges of an industry that is increasingly reliant on self-service technology, and the need to innovate on all fronts to keep up with 21st century’s savvy travelers.
Mr. Pornlert Kanjananiyot, Airport Manager - Hong Kong Airlines (Bangkok)
