• Changes since the previous semester• The main change to the barometer concerns the inclusion of 4 new Alliance members: China Southern, Air

Europa, Copa Airlines and Kenya Airways. This report presents the results for the summer semester 2008 for the 14 airlines. Results are compared with the summer semester 2007 but only on the questionnaire base of the same 10 airlines of each semester (excluding the questionnaires of the 4 new members).

• The questionnaire has been updated to include the 4 new airlines (version 5) and at the same time some minor word changes were made.

• Objectives Track satisfaction among SkyTeam passengers with respect to

• the general and Elite benefits offered by SkyTeam, • the service provided during their trip with a SkyTeam carrier (booking, airport, in-flight)

• Questionnaire Subjects• Flight and background information (date, flight number, travel class, travel reason, marketing and operating

airline, age, gender, FFP etc.).• Reservations (method used, rating on 5 phone reservation service aspects and 3 airline website aspects).• Airport services (check-in airport, check-in method, rating on 10 airport services aspects, lounge visit, rating on 6

lounge aspects, transfer airport and rating on 3 transfer aspects).• In-flight services (rating on 14 in-flight aspects)• Overall impression of all the ground and in-flight services• SkyTeam awareness• SkyTeam benefits (rating on 8 SkyTeam benefits)• SkyTeam Elite / Elite Plus benefits (rating on 5 Elite / Elite Plus benefits)

IntroductionThe survey’s objective is to track customer satisfaction in respect to the benefits offered by SkyTeam.

• Paper questionnaires, available in several languages, are distributed and collected by cabin crew to customers aboard SkyTeam flights. Only flights between SkyTeam hubs are sampled.

• Each airline is responsible for organizing their questionnaire distribution and collection.

• Measurement is continuous throughout the year.

• All collected questionnaires are processed centrally in France, leading to the preparation of the semester survey report. Semester results are normally available 6 to 7 weeks after the end of the previous Semester.

• The results are analyzed on the basis of the number of respondents to each question. Customers are invited to express their satisfaction using a 5 point response scale. The results are presented showing the percentage of customers for each satisfaction level, as well as in the form of a mean score out of 5.

• The raw data is weighted in order for the results to be representative of the seat capacity per airline between SkyTeam hubs. On the following page the table presents the non-weighted and weighted summer semester 2008 sample. Due to the very big differences in the proportion of questionnaires per airline compared to the seat capacity, we have fixed maximum and minimum limits of respectively 5.0 and 0.1 in the weighting calculation, in order to avoid a too great distortion of the sample structure.

• In order to compare the 2008 and 2007 results on a like to like basis, we have applied a second weighting to the 2008 results for the questionnaires from the 10 airlines common to both years. In the trends chapter the overall 2008 results are not identical to the results in the rest of the report due to the application of this specific weighting on a smaller sample size. However, the 2008 results are comparable to the 2007 results.

• All results in this report are based on weighted results.

Guidelines in interpreting the results

A customer’s overall satisfaction at a given moment in time is influenced to a greater or lesser extent by SkyTeam’s performance on the detailed service attributes. It is this overall state of satisfaction that influences a customer’s loyalty and recommendation behaviour. By improving its performance on attributes that strongly influence customers’ overall satisfaction, SkyTeam will increase most efficiently loyalty and positive word of mouth communication.

In general, a dissatisfied customer expresses his dissatisfaction among 4 times more people than a satisfied customer expresses his satisfaction. A first objective of satisfaction surveys is to achieve a proportion of satisfied customers that is 4 times greater than the proportion of dissatisfied customers. In this way, the phenomena of word of mouth communication is controlled and negative communication does not exceed the reality.

The loyalty and recommendation behaviour is quite different between a customer who is totally satisfied and a customer who is only partially satisfied. In general, a customer who is totally satisfied is twice as likely to certainly use the service again and twice as likely to certainly recommend the service than a customer who is only partly satisfied.

Therefore, a double objective is required:

• Reduce customer dissatisfaction so as to reduce disloyalty and negative word of mouth.• Transform customers from a state of partial satisfaction to a state of total satisfaction.

Page 8: SkyTeam Alliance

Guidelines in interpreting the results

Partial and total dissatisfaction should be analyzed as a whole. A dissatisfied customer is likely to be disloyal and to promote disloyalty among others. Dissatisfaction that exceeds 15% of the customer base requires an improvement action.

The level of priority for the action will depend on the relative contribution of the attribute to overall satisfaction. It is almost impossible to totally eliminate dissatisfaction. If dissatisfaction concerns only a very small minority of the customer base (less than 5%), additional investment to further reduce this proportion is in most cases not justified.

Partial and total satisfaction should be analyzed separately. An often fixed objective is to dispose of more customers “totally satisfied” than “partially satisfied”.

The mean score represents the level of customer satisfaction using one value (on a scale from 1 to 5). The scores should be interpreted in the following way: 4.5 or more is a Very Good score, 4 to 4.5 is Good, 3.5 to 4 is Fair, 3.0 to 3.5 is Poor and less than 3.0 is Very Poor.

Differences between mean scores are statistically significant if they are of at least a 10th of a point and if they are calculated on a base of 500 answers or more. When the answer base is between 50 and 500, a gap of at least 0.2 between mean scores is required before it is considered significant. Mean scores are presented with two decimals so that significant differences between scores can be clearly seen. Results on smaller answer bases require a bigger difference in the mean score to be considered significantly different. Results are not presented if the number of observations is less than 50.

For passengers, the most satisfying SkyTeam benefit is the number of destinations served (with 86% of passengers being satisfied), just ahead of the ability to check-in only once for the entire trip (83%) and the ability to earn and redeem miles on any SkyTeam airline (79%). Three other benefits are less satisfactory (with mean scores below 4.0), and the airport service consistency whatever the airline used is clearly the least appreciated.

Mean

The priority check-in is still the most satisfactory Elite/Elite+ special service (4.18 mean score) but Elite/Elite+ passengers are less satisfied about Priority boarding. Thanks to the combination of a relatively high proportion of passengers “very satisfied” and a slight rate of “not at all satisfied”, the mean scores of “special recognition from cabin crew” and “preferred seating on this trip” reach the 4.0 threshold.

The overall level of services offered within the airport lounge is not entirely satisfactory. The mean score is below 4.0. Elite+ passengers have lower satisfaction, which may be caused by having higher expectations. In more detail, the condition & cleanliness of the lounge and its staff friendliness obtain more satisfactory results. There is significant passenger dissatisfaction with services: Internet facilities and the selection of newspapers/ magazines.

The recommendation intention for the SkyTeam alliance is slightly lower overall than it is for the airline. This overall trend is repeated for each airline except for AeroMexico, Air Europa and Alitalia that show a slightly higher mean score for the alliance. The recommendation results of the alliance by operating airline are nevertheless very similar to the recommendation of the airline.

Main Conclusions

• SkyTeam Alliance Awareness• When comparing S2 2008 to S2 2007, the overall Alliance awareness among all SkyTeam passengers has decreased

from 54% to 52%. Two significant evolutions concern a decrease in awareness among French and Dutch passengers. • Czech passengers are still the most aware of SkyTeam (3 quarters being aware of the Alliance). On the other hand,

less than half of Dutch and Russian passengers, and only a third of Japanese passengers knew about SkyTeam before the flight.

• SkyTeam Alliance benefits• No significant evolution is to be reported in both the overall and the detailed satisfaction with the SkyTeam Alliance

benefits. However, mean scores are higher on all benefits, showing a trend towards improved passenger satisfaction. Differences in satisfaction still appear between the different Airlines: Passengers of Continental and Copa Airlines are the most satisfied overall with the benefits, while those flying with Aeroflot, Air Europa and Alitalia are the least satisfied.

• Among the different benefits provided, the number of destinations served, the ability to check-in the entire trip at the originating city, the ability to earn/redeem miles on flights within the alliance and the access to lounges worldwide are the most satisfactory, with mean scores between 4.23 and 4.03.

• With a mean score of only 3.79, the service consistency at the airport no matter which airline is used remains the least satisfactory benefit.

• The ability of any employee from SkyTeam to address customer needs and the coordination of flight schedules and convenience of connections, still obtain scores slightly lower than 4.0.

• Elite / Elite + special services• A significant positive evolution is observed this Semester on all Elite / Elite + aspects in comparison with S2 2007.

Three of these benefits now reach a mean score of 4.0. Only the benefits priority boarding and priority baggage handling are slightly below the 4.0 threshold.

• Recommendation• About half of the customers extremely likely to recommend operating airline (49%) and SkyTeam Alliance (44%).

Page 29: SkyTeam Alliance

29

• Reservations • The telephone reservation service remains satisfactory this Semester: all airlines obtain results above 4.0

(mean score 4.38 out of 5), without significant evolutions. Users of the telephone reservation services of Copa Airlines, Continental and Korean Air show the highest levels of satisfaction.

• Regarding the Airline web site, the experience also remains at a good level (overall mean score of 4.31), users of Copa Airlines and Continental Airlines being the most satisfied.

• Airport services• Overall, the airport experience remains at the same level as last year: the overall satisfaction is at a good

level (4.07 vs 4.04 in S2 2007). Big differences exist depending on the check-in airport considered, which probably explains the dissatisfactions about the service consistency. Houston, Panama City and Seoul have the best scores, Houston and Milan have improved significantly, whereas no airports have decreased significantly.

• During the same period, there has been a small increase in the satisfaction scores on all the services offered at the check-in airports. The language skills and the friendliness of the check-in staff remain the most satisfying aspects, while the information provided in case of a delay and the on-time departure being the less satisfactory aspects.

• Satisfaction with the lounge visited remains slightly below the 4.0 threshold. The scores overall and for each lounge service are almost the same when compared to S2 2007. Improvements are nonetheless expected on the Internet facilities and the selection of newspapers in particular.

• Finally, there have been significant increases in the mean scores for all three services offered for interconnecting passengers compared to S2 2007, with the biggest increase for the ease of transfer between connecting flights (+0.23).

• In-flight Services• First/Business class passengers tend to be more satisfied with overall in-flight services than those flying in Economy

class. In terms of significant evolutions on long haul, Air France has increased for its Economy class passengers and Delta has decreased for F/B class. On short haul, Continental has increased for both classes and Air France has also increased for F/B class.

the basis of the 10 airlines included in the barometer in 2007.

Page 31: SkyTeam Alliance

Interpreting the trends results

This trends chapter provides an analysis of how the barometer results have evolved from one year to the next.

The 2008 results have been recalculated using a weighting that allows a comparison with the 2007 results on the basis of an identical sample structure (10 airlines).

Due to this re-calculation, the 2008 results presented in this trends chapter are not necessarily identical to the 2008 results in the rest of this report. This is normal due to the specific weighting applied to the 2008 results used in the trends chapter.

Only results for the total operating airline (the variable on which the weighting is based) are identical in this trends chapter and the rest of this report.

The true 2008 results, corresponding to the actual 14 member Alliance, are presented in the executive summary chapter and in the appendix of this report.

The 2008 scores in this trends chapter should not be interpreted as the 2008 results. The trends chapter has the sole objective of evaluating results evolutions on a like to like sample structure.

Overall, satisfaction with the on-time departure is only at a “fair” level (mean score of 3.85). It is clearly dependent on the check-in airport used by passengers: Houston leads the whole, and thirteen other airports exceed the 4.0 threshold for a “good” score. On the other hand, Moscow, Barcelona, Mexico, Paris, Madrid, Rome and New York JFK are somewhat detached and obtain relatively “poor” results (between 3.12 and 3.55).

On Long Haul flights, First/Business class passengers are more satisfied than Economy class passengers regarding Audio / Video entertainment, except passengers from Air France, China Southern and Czech Airlines. It appears that no A/V entertainment service is being provided to Aeroflot Economy passengers, or if it is then passengers are not satisfied with it.
