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.
