When Singapore Airlines began operations in 1972, it didn’t have the capital necessary to obtain a large fleet, an expansive route structure, and international pilots. Undeterred, the company adopted service as their core differentiating strategy with the tagline, “Service Even Other Airlines Talk About.”
While the airline has been recognized for its impeccable service ever since, it continuously faces the more challenging task of staying on top. Sim Kay Wee, former Senior V.P. of Cabin Crew, explains saying, “If you are in the lead and want to stay there, 100 percent is not enough. You need every member of the team to keep stepping up even higher.”
TAKING SERVICE TO NEW HEIGHTS
Since his arrival in the country in 1990, Singapore Airlines has repeatedly invited service expert Ron Kaufman to help keep the company at the top of its game. Ron has created, conducted, and contributed to over 40 different workshops for the airline’s cabin crew, commercial training center, pilots, overseas offices, and management. Today, even through economic downturns, the airline soars above its competitors thanks to its unrelenting emphasis on continuous service education and an Uplifting Service culture.
