Dialogue between Air France and its passengers is fundamental to the airline's quality strategy.  Permanent focus on the customer enables customer needs and changes in behavior to be anticipated and customer dissatisfaction to be understood. In return, Air France improves customer service, innovates and increases its commitment
to customers. 
     
A service standard is a description of the performance Air France is committed to provide for each aspect of the service chain.  For instance, the passenger is greeted with a smile from the flight attendant on boarding the aircraft.  More than 300 service standards are currently in use at Air France.  Passengers are regularly invited to fill in questionnaires in the aircraft and at the airport to comment on Air France's service.  This enables Air France to take over 200,000 measures of customer satisfaction in one year alone.
Uppermost in passengers' minds, the punctuality of flights is a permanent
concern for Air France.

From ranking seventh out of eight major European airlines in 1999, Air France
now ranks third and is still improving.
