ENAIRE sets new records in customer-perceived quality surveys
ENAIRE employs surveys and interviews to measure its customers' satisfaction with the services provided, and its compliance with their expectations. These quality studies help the national air traffic management operator identify areas to improve the quality of its services and set new goals for its strategic plans.
The latest study on the quality of its services exceeds the target set by ENAIRE in its strategic plan for 2024 by 3 points, confirming the continuous improvement achieved since records began
Since records began – and thanks to the measures and action plans implemented after each study – the indicator measuring perceived quality among its customers has continuously improved. The results of the latest survey, corresponding to 2024, have confirmed this trend, surpassing the expectations set in the Strategic Plan and achieving significantly high scores among the pilot community.
The result achieved in 2024 is the highest value in the historical series for the second consecutive year, with a 3.1% increase compared to the previous year, surpassing the target set in its strategic plan, Flight Plan 2025.
The perceived quality score is calculated using perceived quality surveys for each customer segment, depending on the services provided by the entity. In addition, in-person interviews are used to analyse the priority expectations and demands, which are relayed to the organisation's Customer Plan.
Commercial pilots gave ENAIRE the highest score in the company's history. This score assesses the perceived quality of the services provided by ENAIRE in the areas of air control, traffic management, communications, navigation and surveillance, the design of airspace procedures, manoeuvres, and more. In all of them, ENAIRE has received a higher rating than in the previous survey, with particular emphasis on the high score for operational safety and communication, navigation, and surveillance services, all with levels above 75%.
Regarding the rating given by the airlines, ENAIRE's aeronautical information services stand out, with a score of 4.2 out of 5, as well as its communication, navigation, and surveillance services, which have a perceived quality level of 81.9%.
For all these services, the surveys highlight the collaboration of ENAIRE's staff, as well as the improvement in communication regarding the status of the projects carried out by the organisation.
In the four years since implementing ENAIRE's Strategic Plan, Flight Plan 2025, the perceived quality level has increased by 9.5%, confirming the growing customer satisfaction and the organisation's commitment to continuous improvement.
Methodology
ENAIRE studies and analyses the level of perceived quality (LPQ) of the services it provides annually with different customer segments. On an alternating basis, it surveys airlines and pilots in even years, and airports and general aviation in odd years.
These studies are conducted in order to determine the needs and expectations of customers while complying with one of the requirements of the ENAIRE Management System, which is certified as per the UNE-EN ISO 9001 standard. Their results are used in a company-wide Action Plan whose aim is to promote continuous improvement.
