Disruption Communications Workshop Aviation Festival, Singapore, 23rd February 2016

The Impact of DisruptionIn February 2016, East Asia experienced a ‘Cold Wave’ which sent ripples across the travel network. Disruption on a mass scale like this has the power to cost airlines big – impacting

operations and (if not handled well) customer loyalty.

In the last 30 days, 10,739 flights were cancelled and 219,727 flights delayed across the AsiaPac region.

That equates to millions… and millions of disrupted passengers every month.
