KLM vergroot bereikbaarheid door inzet Twitter en
Facebook
Gezien de uitzonderlijke omstandigheden is het
bijzonder druk in de call centers van KLM. Om de
bereikbaarheid voor passagiers met vragen over
reserveringen te vergroten, maakt KLM gebruik van
haar kanalen op Twitter en Facebook. Ook kunnen
passagiers via deze kanalen hun vluchten omboeken.
Peter Hartman, President-directeur KLM: "Wij zetten
echt alles op alles om onze passagiers te kunnen
helpen. Dat we social media hiervoor in kunnen
zetten, is bijzonder goed nieuws. KLM is hiermee
koploper".
