 The pie charts illustrate the outcome of the survey conducted to a hundred visitors to
Luton airport in order to evaluate their customer service, in 2010 and 2015.
Overall, it can be seen that a lot of people were satisfied by the services offered in
2010, but there was also a large number who thought the services given were poor. However,
after 5 years, this trend changed. It shows that many found the services to be both good and
excellent, with a decline in the number of people who were unsatisfied.
To begin with, in the year 2010, 45% of the respondents found the airport services
satisfactory and exactly 14% rated it as good, while 5% considered the services excellent.
Nevertheless, it also shows that the visitors rated it as poor and more so, very poor with 21%
and 15%, respectively.
Over the 5-year period, the trend showed an improved airport service in 2015, wherein
39% of the visitors thought that services were good. Moreover, exactly 28% of the
respondents answered that they received an excellent service while more than 15% said it
was satisfactory. Lastly, we can observe that around 10% rated the services poor and very
poor in comparison to the 2010 survey.
