With using mobile Internet technology and being based on true passenger satisfaction survey that is being voted actively, CAPSE (Civil Aviation Passenger Service Evaluation) reflects the current civil aviation services in China through comprehensive analysis on travelers’ reviews.

Compared with previous survey methods, CAPSE believes this approach can avoid the possible deviation of results caused by centralized questionnaires, as well as differences between foreign surveys and China’s actual conditions.

Most importantly, the results come from neither experts nor temporary analysis, but just continuous evaluation of true passengers instead, which represents the reality of China’s air services.

CAPSE will publish China Civil Aviation Passenger Service Evaluation Report regularly, and hopes to be helpful to air services in China.

On the basis of this analytical report, CAPSE expects to not only express the true voices of travelers for air service, and make great efforts to help airline or airport find ways to improve it, but give a reference to global airlines that have great expectations in the potential market of China as well. Background and Main Points of CAPSE

It had been in bad need of a third-party evaluation that was real and objective for a long time, especially a real service evaluation from air travelers.

With using mobile Internet technology, and ensuring the veracity of travelers who take part in the survey, CARNOC.com and VariFlight App have been working on questionnaires of civil aviation service that travelers really care about since May 2012. Based on true passenger satisfaction survey, namely, CAPSE, which is being voted actively, and Civil Aviation Passenger Service Evaluation Report comes into being eventually.

A “Factual” Report---To ensure the veracity of flights and validity of questionnaires, passengers who take part in the survey need to sign up by mobile number, upload boarding pass, then make sure of its reality via manual audit, and complete the questionnaires finally.

A Report about “Feelings”---Civil Aviation Passenger Service Evaluation Report is about passengers’ true experience with civil aviation service.

Definition of “Best”---Travelers enjoy services and think that it is good value for money. As long as there is service offered by any entities, there is passengers’ feelings for it. Therefore, the evaluation standards of Civil Aviation Passenger Service Evaluation Report have nothing to do with entity's scale, transport volume and throughput, service levels as well as sales price, which just depend on feelings of service that is good or bad.

In Civil Aviation Passenger Service Evaluation Report, the best definition of passenger satisfaction is that, service experience and feelings are good values. Related Entities
