Changi Airport followed closely in 2nd place, but the list was dominated by brands from the financial sector.

SIA & Changi Airport came in 1st and 2nd respectively

KMPG, an audit, tax and advisory company, released the 2019 Customer Experience Excellence Report on 5 Dec.

The companies were judged based on the Six Pillars of Customer Experience Excellence — which comprises personalisation, resolution, integrity, time and effort, expectations, and empathy.

KPMG, which labelled SIA as a “customers first” company, said they “[topped] the scores in all six pillars”.

 

Singapore Airline continuously drives to provide personalised… and innovative experiences to its customers through its employees.

They acknowledged that SIA also “actively invests in solutions” using technology to benefit their staff.

Changi Airport, which came in 2nd, was lauded for its investment in the “Time and Effort” pillar, making travelling smoother and fuss-free for customers.

KMPG concluded that the ‘Integrity’ pillar “has proven to be the most important for advocacy in the finance sector in Singapore”.

When customers’ security is ensured, they can better trust the banks as well.

Congratulations, Singapore Airlines

While SIA could not retain their title of the world’s best airline, we’re glad that they’re still ‘number 1’ in the hearts of Singaporeans.

Congratulations to SIA, as well as to the other brands that made it to the top 15 list.
