Jetblue Case Study

Sometimes all you have to do is show a little empathy and put yourself into a consumer’s position. And that is what JetBlue has done. They listened to their customers and did exactly what was asked of them. Consumers need a more comfortable seating area, JetBlue not only provided more leg room but they also have extra padded seats covered in leather for a more comfortable ride. Consumers wanted to be able to have a snack and a drink on their plane ride. Therefore JetBlue not only provided drinks and snacks but they provided the biggest selections of snacks and drinks than any other airlines. Not only being able to sit comfortably, having something to snack on and drink but the availability to watch direct TV, rent a movie and receive emails and text messages in the air is something in itself that has people wanting to change airlines for.

To accomplish this, JetBlue starts by hiring the right employees. Then, it trains them according to the company’s core values: safety, integrity, caring, passion, and fun. Loving customers breeds truly loyal customers who share the brand by word-of-mouth. Thus, customers are delighted far more by how they are treated by JetBlue’s employee’s than by what they get in a flight. As JetBlue and Southwest (the other low-fare airline known for excellent customer service) start to overlap on routes serviced, many are watching to see which will be victorious. In the end, the loser might just be “all other airlines.”

Whether Jetblue can continue to enjoy a high level of customer satisfaction remains largely within its power. If Jetblue executives begin to take that situation for granted, however, airline employees could begin to let their attitudes and professionalism slide,
