Airline disruption management involves reallocating resources to minimize inconvenience related to cost, time, and passenger dissatisfaction. During massive disruptions, planning and coordinating the rebooking of flights and managing seat capacity on alternative routes or partner airlines pose significant logistical challenges. Effective communication is crucial in these situations. Keeping passengers informed through clear and timely updates is essential. I recently shared my insights on this topic with the Toronto Star, discussing the recent WestJet network-wide disruption. An important note: These are challenging times for both passengers and air transportation employees. During disruptions, passengers sometimes express their frustration to airline or airport staff who may not have control over the situation. It's important for both sides to maintain respectful communication to create a better atmosphere for everyone involved. #Airline #Disruption #OperationalResilience #Sustainability #AirlineRecovery #IROPs
The impacts of the WestJet strike and flight cancellations are still being felt, leaving many of us wondering: what can be done? Dr. K. Gülnaz Bülbül, professor of aviation management shares her expertise on what passengers are entitled to. “This includes monetary compensation for significant delays and other inconveniences,” she says. #UWaterloo
