Challenge
With more than 200,000 travelers passing through every day, London Heathrow is the busiest airport in Europe. But all these passengers had very little interaction with the Heathrow brand. This felt like a huge missed opportunity. Heathrow wanted an efficient, scalable way to create a stronger connection between the brand and its customers.
Insight
Continuing Heathrow’s tradition of “making every journey better,” the Experience Group designed and developed a mobile application to contextualize airport information and make it easily accessible, resulting in a unique, memorable passenger experience.
Solution
Our team created a mobile app that helps passengers at every step of their journey. Before arrival, the app helps users determine the best way to get to the airport and provides information on weather and flight status, At the airport, users receive flight status updates and can access useful information like the distance to their departure gate, baggage claim details, and nearby shopping and dining options.
