The King of the Skies: Herb Kelleher Gets His Start
Almost 40 years ago, Herb Kelleher came up with a radical idea: He wanted to start a no-frills airline that not only ensured people got to where they wanted to go and at low prices, but that they had fun doing it. Today, the small Texas airline he founded in 1971 has become the second largest airline in the world by number of passengers carried. Southwest Airlines carries over 100 million passengers to 63 cities across the U.S. each year.

Reaching New Horizons: Southwest Airlines Takes Off
With his own legal experience and his partner’s business acumen, Kelleher was convinced the two of them could see their business lift off. What was their idea? They wanted to create a no-frills airline, and one that would be exempt from the restraints of federal price regulations. By refusing to cross state borders, and operating flights only within the state of Texas, they were able to do so. Kelleher’s new Southwest Airlines offered drastically reduced fares and quickly became a hit with passengers.

Are You a Problem Solver or a Problem Blamer?
I fly a decent amount and have had a lot of good and a lot of bad experiences with the airlines. The biggest issue I have with the airlines, especially my carrier of choice, is not that they make mistakes. I don’t expect any business to be perfect. At issue is how they deal with problems. Too often, their first reaction is to put the problem back with me. The protocol seems to be to assume first that the customer is wrong (blame), and take responsibility much later, if ever. How do you react when there is a problem with your product or service?
The 4 Things Your Customers Really Want

Airline Reservation System Software
The modern Airline Reservation System provided by the new-generation is helping airlines to gain potential over other industry by following cost effective software solutions.
Satisfaction and Success
A recent consumer survey of satisfaction levels with respect to a variety of industries revealed that the airlines score consistently at the lowest levels of customer satisfaction. If you fly regularly, this will not shock you. I realize that with increasing regulations and skyrocketing fuel costs, the airlines are facing unprecedented challenges; however, it is important to note, with the same regulations and fuel prices, that one airline consistently scored good marks in consumer satisfaction.

Innovating by Breaking the Rules
Innovators are rule breakers. We often see how new entrants to a market break the rules. The low cost airlines did this when they challenged the ways in which the major airlines did business. The new players used e-tickets, did away with allocated seating, bypassed travel agents, flew to new, smaller airports, etc. So, if you want to be innovative, you have to work out how to at least challenge the rules to if they can be effectively broken. How? Read on ... and find out.
