To begin the session, Matthew Hall introduced the main topic \u201cInnovation in a challenging Europe\u201d<\/strong>.\u00a0 He explained that LCY is working hard to match customer expectations and he pointed out the importance of \u201cThe Internet of Things\u201d to reach this objective. He told attendees that any company offering a service should aim to exceed customers\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n

After this introduction, Matthew Hall showed attendees different statistics that prove that internet and social media are essential in today\u2019s life and even more important in their activity as an airport because almost all the regular passengers who travel through LCA have a smartphone. Furthermore, he explained how passengers can benefit from using the LCY app which allows travelers to know the exact status of their flights. Matthew also gave an example to show the different utilities of this app.<\/p>\n

For instance, if a passenger is having a coffee at the airport coffee shop and the boarding gate is about to close, the app will send him a message to inform him about this and how long it will take him to get from where he is to the gate.<\/p>\n

Expanding on this, he explained how long a normal journey from LCA usually takes, with the average time from the check-in desk to the boarding gate being 20 minutes. Also, thanks to the connection with the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) a passenger can be in Westminster in 25 minutes, with shorter journey times to Bank (22 minutes) and Canary Wharf (14 minutes).<\/p>\n

Finally, he highlighted the importance of listening to airlines’ and customers\u2019 feedback in order for an airport to be successful. He ended the session by sharing with attendees a map that encompassed the ambitious projects that LCY expects to carry out by 2023.<\/p>\n
