“One area in which many airlines need to improve is claim-processing operations,” says Henrik Zillmer, AirHelps chief executive officer (CEO). He added that Instead of cancelling a flight as soon as it is clear that an airplane will not be able to fly, many force passengers to wait in the airport during long flight delays. “They are not economically incentivised to put you on a different airline to get you to your destination, he says, hoping that rankings like this can shed light on how airlines are falling short and motivate them to step up service,” Zillmer explains.
