CEB goes all out in its customer-first initiatives, with the unveiling of its Customer Command Center to ensure that the right information to be given to he right people at the right time and the CEB Customer tasked to assist travelers on their concerns and inquiries.
The CEB command center, which went online last August, is manned by a 55-strong integrated customer care team. Aside from CEB's official Facebook and Twitter pages, they also handle schedule changes through the hotline. The team also works closely with the airline's Network Control Center, especially during weather or other flight disruptions, so it can provide passengers with the most updated information and options.

The integrated CEB Customer Command Center has created a heightened awareness of customer needs. Since the facility was put online, response time on CEB's official social media accounts went up from two days to hours, even as fast as eight minutes.
'The Customer Command Center is the physical representation of our enhanced customer-first efforts. Our long-term goal is to build lasting relationships with our customers, and this is an airline-wide initiative, driven by data, technology and a lot of heart,' said Candice Iyog, Vice President for Marketing and Distribution of Cebu Pacific.

CEB has been ramping-up investments to boost customer satisfaction and experience with the airline. The carrier aims to improve its Satisfactory Rating from its own passenger post-flight surveys over the coming months.
Aimed at improving and personalizing communications with customers, the Customer Command Center allows CEB's customer care team to better address passenger concerns by providing relevant and timely information and updates. The facility makes it easier to engage customers and understand how CEB services are resonating with them.
Shashank Nigam, CEO of SimpliFlying, a leading global aviation marketing consulting firm, for his part, noted that social media has become integral to keeping conversations and engagement with customers. In its Airline Social Media Outlook for 2017, SimpliFlying found that social media teams have proven critical to airlines even in handling travel disruptions.
SimpliFlying initiated the command center strategy for Cebu Pacific in 2016. Nigam noted that, 'Cebu Pacific is the first low-cost carrier in Asia to invest in a 24/7 customer command center. It is a testament to Cebu Pacific's commitment to its customers, by using social media to reach and respond to passengers when it's needed the most.'
The new CEB Customer Command Center is the result of a broader transformation across the airline, where customer care and passenger experience are increasingly entrenched in the airline's operations. Recently, CEB has allocated over PHP100 Million for 35 DPLs (Disabled passenger Lifts)-the first carrier to invest in facilities that cater to the needs of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and Persons with Reduced Mobility (PRMs). The DPLs will allow PWDs and PRMs to board and deplane aircraft safely, easily and more comfortably.
