The airline industry — and the companies that depend on it —
has a consumer problem, and it’s not going to solve itself.

The 2017 Airline Industry Brief walks you through…

• The history of the problem
• why it’s at a boiling point
• how to turn things around right now with changes in culture and technology

How did things get so bad? Our brief will help readers understand why lower fares and  more routes are only a band-aid for a broken airline industry. Legacy thinking — and legacy IT systems — create angry consumers instead of loyal customers.

This was a tipping point — not just for air travelers but consumers of any kind — who unleashed the full force of their power on social media and put the airlines on notice — treat us like customers, not cattle; like people, not just passengers.
