EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

service economies worldwide. There is a huge competition in every business
and so in the service sector too. Every company wants to gain competitive
advantage on their customers. This study considers “customers happiness”
towards the services of Jet Airways.

Customer happiness is a very important factor to attract and retain the
customers. Organizations have realized that it is important to keep their
customers happy for the smooth running of their business. Without knowing
and understanding the customer’s satisfaction, feedback and reaction of
customers, organization cannot know what the customers want and expect
from the organization, especially in service industry such as airline industry.

The study considers various aspects like introduction to service sector,
historical background of airline industry in India and company’s profile of Jet
airways, the background of the study, its research design and methodology.
The analysis of the data is presented through various charts and graphs.

From the survey it can be said that Jet Airways is the most favorite
domestic airlines in India. The passengers of Jet Airways are happy with its
service. The analysis of the survey tells Jet Airways have more delighted and
happy passengers compared to Indian or Kingfisher Airlines

INTRODUCTION

It’s been recognized that services present special challenges.
Attraction, retention and building of strong customer relationship through
quality service are the heart of service sector industries. Services are deeds,
processes and performances. Broadly it can be defined as follows:

“Services include all economic activities whose output is not a physical
product or construction, but it is generally consumed at the time it is produced,
and provide added value in forms such as amusement, convenience, comfort
etc that are essentially intangible concerns of its first purchaser.”

Service Marketing concepts and strategies have developed in
response to the tremendous growth of service industries resulting in their
increased importance in world economies. There is something different about
marketing and managing services. New trends are being developed that will
shape the need and continue the need for services marketing concepts and
tools.

Philip Kotler has defined Service marketing as:
“Any act or performance that one party can offer to another,
that is essentially intangible and does not result to the ownership of
anything. Its production may or may not be tied to a physical
product.”

Technology has been the basic force behind service
innovation. Technology is providing vehicles for delivering existing
services in more assessable, convenient, productive ways. It has
enabled both customers and employees to be more effective in
getting and providing service.

External Marketing
– Making Promises


CustomersProducer







The services marketing triangle shows the 3 interlinked groups that
work together to develop, promote and deliver services. Between the three
points of triangle there are three types of marketing that must be successfully
carried out for a service to succeed – external and interactive marketing. All
these activities resolve around making and keeping promises to customers.
For services all three types of marketing activities are essential for building
and maintaining relationships with customers.

External Marketing – Making Promises
Through its external marketing efforts a company makes promises to its
customers regarding what they can expect and how it will be delivered.

Interactive Marketing – Keeping Promises
This is the most critical type of marketing activity from the customers’ point of
view. Interactive marketing occurs in the moment of truth when the customers
interact with the organization and the service is produced and consumed.
Promises are kept or broken and the reliability of service is related every time
the customer interacts with the organization.
International Marketing – Enabling Promises
Service providers must have the skills, abilities, tools and motivation to
deliver. They must be enabled. Promises are easy to make but unless

provided with tools and rewards for good service, the promises may not be
kept. This is important as the employee satisfaction is linked with the
customer satisfaction.

Service Marketing Mix
Service marketing mix includes three more aspects i.e.
people, physical evidence and process in addition to the
traditional 4Ps of marketing i.e. product, price place and
promotion.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK












M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

“Meaning of Customer Happiness”

“Customer happiness can be said as customer’s satisfaction,
fulfillment and delight towards the service provided. It is a
judgment that a product or service feature, or the product or
service itself, provides a pleasurable level of consumption –
related fulfillment.”

Satisfaction is the customers’ evaluation of a product or service in terms of
whether that product or service has met their needs and expectations. Failure
to meet needs and expectation is brought to dissatisfy with the product or
service.

Factors Influencing Customer happiness

! Product and service features
! Consumer emotions
! Attributions for service success or failure
! Perceptions of equity or fairness

Product and Service Features

Customer happiness with a product or service is influenced significantly
by the customer’s evaluation of product or service features. Research has
shown that customers of services will make trade – offs among different
service features (price, quality and etc), depending on the type of service
being evaluated and the criticality of the service.





M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

15
Consumer Emotions

Actually, there are 2 types of emotion that are given below: -

! Positive emotions
! Negative emotions

The emotions can be stable, pre – existing emotions e.g. mood state
or life satisfaction. For example, when you are on vacation or at a very happy
stage in your life, good mood and positive frame of mind has influenced, you
will respond positively to that service.

Attributions for Service Success or Failure

Attributions – the perceived causes of events – influence perceptions of
satisfaction as well. When the customer has been surprised by an outcome
(the service which is better or worse than expected), customers tend to look
for the reasons and their assessments for the reasons can influence the
satisfaction.

Perceptions of Quality or Fairness
Always, customers will ask themselves whether they have been treated
fairly compared with other customers. Notions of fairness are central to
customers’ perceptions of satisfaction and happiness with products or
services.
M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

Components of Customer Happiness and satisfaction

The factors that make the customer happy and delighted are given below:
1. Service Quality
! Reliability
! Responsiveness
! Assurance
! Empathy
! Tangibles
2. Product Quality
3. Price
4. Situational Factors
5. Personal factors
Service Quality Dimensions

Ultimately, customers judge the quality of services on their perceptions
of the technical outcome provided and on how that outcome was delivered.
The service quality dimensions consist of: -

1. Reliability that is ability to perform the promised service dependable
and accurately.
2. Responsiveness that is the willingness to help customers and provide
prompt service.
3. Assurance that is the employees’ knowledge and courtesy and their
ability to inspire trust and confidence.
4. Empathy that is the caring, individualized attention given to customers.
5. Tangibles that are appearance of physical facilities, equipment,
personnel, and written materials.

M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

17


In the case of airline industry, how customers judge the 5 dimensions of
service quality is given below:

Reliability: Flights to promise destinations depart and arrive on schedule.
Responsiveness: Prompt and speedy system for ticketing, in-flight,
baggage handling
Assurance: Trusted name, good safety record, competent employees
Empathy: Understanding of special individual needs, anticipates customer
needs
Tangibles: Aircraft, ticketing counters, baggage area, uniforms

Satisfaction normally involves the eliminating problems. It goes beyond to
the concept of delight, which is the positive surprise. It is the highest level of
satisfaction and it transfers to better outcomes that can be achieved through
other levels of satisfaction. The customer is satisfied with a defect rate of
0.01%, but if we could eliminate defects altogether, then the customer would
be delighted.

Delight leads to behavioral outcomes that are substantially better than
mere satisfaction. A delighted and happy customer will go for repurchase, will
have a positive word of mouth there be increasing profit and sales of the
organization. Thus customer happiness will lead to new customer generation
and retention of he existing customer.




M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

Why do organizations think about the customer happiness and delight?

All organizations nowadays consider customer’s happiness and delight for the
reasons given below:

! Repurchasing
! Word of mouth
! Pay less attention to competing brands and advertising
! Buy other products or services of the same company
! Profit increase
! Sales volume increase

5. Pay less attention to

6. Buy other products or

company
M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

19
How do the customers form their expectations?


Expectations are formed on the basis of the buyers’ past buying
experience, statements made by friends and associates, and marketer and
competitor information and promises. If marketers raise expectations too
high, the customer is likely to be disappointed. On the other hand, some
successful companies are raising expectations and delivering performance
to match.

These companies aim high because customers who are just satisfied
will still find it easy to switch suppliers when a better offer comes along. These
who are highly satisfied are less ready to switch. The fact is that high
satisfaction and happiness or delight creates an emotional affinity with the
brand, not just a rational preference and this creates high customer loyalty.

Level of Happiness

Customer happiness level is a function of the difference between
perceived performance and expectations. A customer could experience one of
the 3 broad levels of happiness.

! If the performance of the service provided comes below the
expectations of the consumer, the customer is unhappy about the
service.
! If the performance matches the expectations, the customer is happy
about the service.
! If the performance exceeds the expectations, the customer is highly
delighted or happy with the service provided.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Seven decades have passed since the late JRD Tata, better known as
the father of civil aviation in India operated the first ever flight of a scheduled
air service. Tata Airlines was founded in 1938 and operated under this name
until nationalization in 1953, when it was renamed Air India International and
later; Air India.

The Air Corporation Act of 1953, led to the formation of two airlines –
Air India and Indian Airlines, the former designated as the country’s
international airline while Indian Airlines operated on domestic routes. The
liberalization of the economy in the 1990’s allowed private airlines to operate
as Air Taxi Operators saw five major airlines coming into existence. By 1997,
only two airlines remained operational, Jet Airways being of one of them.

Jet Airways has become a success story in the Indian Aviation Industry
and is one of the fastest growing airlines in the world. Jet Airways was set up
with the objective of becoming the most preferred domestic airline in the
country, by providing superior quality and reliable air travel in India.

A high percentage of the domestic air traffic comprises business
travelers. Therefore, Jet Airways’ focus from the very beginning was to
emerge as the “Businessman’s Preferred Airline.”

Today, it is a matter of pride that Jet Airways is widely recognized as
“India’s Best, World – Class Domestic Airline.” This has led to a product and
service that aimed at world – class norms, beginning with the choice of aircraft
itself.

COMPANY PROFILE

“JET AIRWAYS”

History of Jet Airways

Jet Airways began its operations on May 5, 1993, with the first flight,
Ahmedabad – Bombay (AHM – BOM 737 – 9W 322). The fleet started with 4
Modern Generation Boeing 737 – 300 aircraft with an objective of being the
most preferred airline in India that would upgrade the concept of domestic
airline to world – class standards.

Since May 1993, Jet Airways has systematically and continually
inducted modern generation aircraft, and was the first to operate the B737 –
400, B737 – 500, in India, after their launch across the United States.

Jet Airways was also the first to fly the ATR 72 – 500 aircraft in 1997 in
India. This has enabled Jet Airways to offer better connectivity and reliable air
links to interior cities and towns. Seven months later Jet Airways became the
first airline to fly the 737 – 900 and also the first to fly the 737 – 700. Today,
Jet Airways has one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the world with an
average age of around 3 years.

The facilities of Ansett (Australia) were used for the training and
conversion of Jet Airways pilots and engineers. To help Jet Airways achieve
world – class norms in service, Speedwing (a British Airways Subsidiary)
assisted Jet Airways in conducting a program on Customer Service
Excellence for staff across functions at all levels.

To ensure accurate and efficient reservation systems, Jet Airways tied
up with and is co – hosted with SABRE – one of the world’s best reservations
systems, which was initiated with the launch of the first flight. Within 3 months
M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

24
of running operations, Jet Airways also became an associate member of
IATA, a party to the IATA Multilateral Interline Agreement and a member of
the IATA Clearing House.

Today Jet Airways operates over 300 flights daily to 46 destinations
within India they connect a place every 5 minute and provides over 22,000
seats per day. Passengers have a choice of multiple frequency flights
between the metros. Same day returns flights make it possible to even
conduct just half a day’s business in a distant city.

Thirty – six millions passengers have flown Jet Airways in the last 12
years. This has not only contributed to international and domestic tourism
within India but has also provided employment opportunities to a large
segment of people.

Building a highly skilled and motivated team of professionals at all
levels has played a key role in delivering world – class service. Both on
ground and in the air, Jet Airways’ product and service standards have been
benchmarked against the best internationally. In recognition of this, several
global and national awards and honors have been conferred on the airline.
Jet Airways has also received the ISO 9001:2000 certification for its in-flight
services, a rarity in the aviation industry.

Jet Airways is also committed to the areas of corporate and social
responsibility. The airline supports a variety of social causes, one of which is
the Magic Box initiative. This is an in – flight collection program undertaken by
Jet Airways since 1997 to facilitate the welfare activities undertaken by Save
The Children India (STCI), an NGO dedicated to empowering the under –
privileged, especially women and children across the country through health
and education based initiatives.

The Jet Airways “Magic Box” collection has assisted in the setting up
of SPARSH, a special care center for the mentality challenged children and

hearing impaired, starting comprehensive school programs for the under –
privileged children, adopting a Municipal School and contribution to the
Gujarat Earthquake Rehabilitation program.
Jet Airways is India’s most preferred airline. They assure finest service
from the time of booking the ticket to the time the passenger leaves the
airport. Jet Airways was the first airline in India to receive the World Travel
Market Global Award, the world's premier global travel event in London. It has
the youngest fleet of aircrafts in India, consisting of the modern Airbus 340-
300E, Boeing 737-400/700/800/900 and the ATR 72-500. Jet Airways strive to
provide service of the highest standard to their customers, both on ground
and in-flight. Jet Airways has ISO 9001 certification for their services.
The Government agreed the Jet Airways proposal to takeover Air
Sahara, a move that boosted Jet’s dominance in the fast growing aviation
sector. Thus, Jet Airways, the country's largest private carrier, took over Air
Sahara for $500 million in cash.
1993 – 2006, a decade that has seen Jet Airways transform civil
aviation in India. An airline, that has done India proud for ten years and is
firmly established as the preferred domestic carrier of the country.

JET AIRWAYS LAUNCHES IPO

The purpose of the IPO is to gain benefits of listing to enhance visibility
and brand name, raise capital and retire certain outstanding debt of IFC and
IDFC. Jet Airways has reserved 1,200,000 equity shares for subscription by
employees at the offer price. Thus, the net offer to public would be 16,066,801
equity shares.
Jet Airways announced the details of its IPO 11 Feb 2005. The Jet
Airways IPO will be of 1.72 crore shares of Rs 10 each to raise a maximum of
up to Rs 1942.50 crore. The price band for the issue has been fixed at Rs.
950 and Rs. 1,125 per share. Of the total offer, Jet Airways is making fresh
issue of 1.42 crore equity shares and balance 30.21 lakh shares are an offer
for sale by TailWings Ltd. The combined offer constitutes 20 per cent of fully
diluted post offer paid up equity capital of the company. A part of the proceeds
of IPO would be used to retire some debt of the company. The company
executive director Saroj Datta said that the brand and trademarks would be
transferred to Jet Airways by Jet Enterprises. The valuation for IPO pricing
had to be done by comparing it with foreign airlines as none of the airlines are
listed on the Indian stock exchanges. Earlier, two Indian airlines had issued
shares and their stocks were listed on stock exchanges. But, these
companies later folded their operations.

Out of total offer, 12 lakh shares are reserved for Jet Airways employees.
There would be 60 per cent allocation for institutional investors, up to 15 per
cent to high net worth individuals and up to 25 per cent to retail investors.
JET Airways' financials have truly taken flight in the company's maiden
performance announcement since its IPO. The net profits for 2004-05 have
expanded by a better-than-expected 140 per cent to Rs 392 crore, while
M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

31
revenues surged 24 per cent to Rs 4,420 crore. With its planes flying fuller
and after a couple of fare increases through the year, the airline has managed
to counteract the effects of a rising wage bill and surging fuel costs.



The number of passengers boarding the company's planes rose 17.9
per cent during the year. Jet Airways has managed a challenging cost
environment reasonably well in 2004-05. Competition also had an inflationary
impact on selling and distribution expenses. But the company appears to have
managed the challenging environment reasonably well.

RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY






















M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

34
Statement of the Problem: -

Nowadays, the passengers have more options to travel by preferable
airlines. So success to meet needs and expectations is assumed to be the
result in satisfaction with the service. Jet Airways, today, recognize that it can
compete more effectively by distinguishing itself with respect to service quality
and improved customer satisfaction and happiness. Jet Airways would like to
know passengers whether they have been satisfied and happy by the quality
and service of Jet Airways. So the study of customer happiness has been
conducted.

Objectives of the Study: -

1. To find out customer satisfaction and expectation towards Jet
Airways.
2. To find out agencies' opinion about the customer satisfaction
towards Jet Airways.
3. To determine the level of happiness of Jet Airways passengers.
4. To know about the operation of the Jet Airways.
5. To know the customers' reaction towards the company's service.
6. To know how to make successful service towards the customer
satisfaction and expectation.
7. To find out how to improve the service quality and get rid of sources
of dissatisfaction and make the customers happy .
8. To maintain the customer satisfaction to be the delighted and happy
customer.
The ultimate goal of the study is to find out the actual level of
happiness among the passengers of Jet Airways and in turn to convert
unhappy customers into satisfied and delighted customers, respectively.
M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

35
Need for the Study: -

Whether the buyer is satisfied and happy after purchase depends on
the offer performance in relation to the buyers’ expectations. If the
performance falls short of expectations, the customer is dissatisfied. If the
performance matches the expectations, the customer is satisfied. If the
performance exceeds expectations, the customer is highly delighted and
happy.

Now companies are aiming to delight the customers because
customers who are just satisfied still find it easy to switch when a better offer
comes along. Those who are highly satisfied and happy are much less ready
to switch to other companies. Delight creates an emotional bondage with the
brand.

The need for this study is to know whether the customers are happy
with the airline services they are using. Customer’s satisfaction and delight
depends on the service quality provided by the airline company.

Purpose of the Study: -

The scope of the study is to judge the level of happiness of passengers
of Jet Airways, whether the passengers are satisfied with their service.


Limitation of the Study: -

1. The survey is conducted in Bangalore city only.
2. Due to time constraint, sample size for passengers and agencies
was restricted to 50 and 10 respectively.

METHODOLOGY

Type of Research: -

For preparation of the project report, several methods were used to
collect data and pertinent information. The data required for the study were
collected from primary and secondary sources. Detailed and structured
questionnaire was prepared for passengers covering as many variables as
possible. The secondary data were collected from the textbook, journals,
Jetwings magazine, and Internet web site.

Sampling Technique: -

The simple random Sampling Method was considered for the study,
which is based on assumption that the respondents were randomly drawn
from population. In this study, the passengers have traveled by Jet Airways,
Indian and Kingfisher. The sample was random from the passengers of these
airlines.

Target Population: -

Sampling design begins by specifying the ‘target population’, which is
the selection of elements or objects that posses the information sought by the
researcher and that frame about which inferences are to be made. The target
population selected for the research was the passengers of Jet Airways.
Passengers were selected from different professions, age groups who belong
to different income levels without any kind of bias.

Sampling process incorporates four steps as given below:


















Sample Size
The sample size was 50 passengers who were randomly selected.

Instrumentation Technique: -

The instrumentation technique used in the project is structured
questionnaires. The sample was asked to fill the questionnaire that formed a
part of primary data.

Actual Collection of Data: -

The collection of data is the gathering of information from various sources. For
this project, the primary and secondary sources have been used.
Data Collection from Primary Sources

The primary data is based on the objectives of the study, research
approach through survey method that is questionnaire development
and samplings have been designed visiting the passengers and airline
agencies in Bangalore.

Data Collection from Secondary Sources

Secondary data were gathered from numerous sources. While
preparation of this project report, the two types of secondary data have
been collected.
! Internal Data was generated from the company’s profile and
Jetwings magazine.
! External Data, on the other hand, was generated from general
library research sources, textbooks, trade journals, articles from
newspaper, brochures and Internet web site.

Tools used for testing of hypothesis: -

“Chi – Square Test ”

Chi – square is non – parametric test used by marketing researchers to test
hypothesis. This test is employed for testing hypothesis when distribution of
population is not known and when nominal data is to be analyzed. With the
help of chi – square, it can be ascertained whether the given discrepancy
between theory and observation is due to change or whether it is due to
failure of theory to fit into the observed facts.

In this project chi – square test was used to determine whether there was any
association between two options. It was also used to find the effectiveness of
any option or preference.
Formulae used for calculating the value of chi – square is as follows:





The expected frequency can either be taken arbitrary assigned or determined
mathematically from the observed information. The table value was taken
from the chi – square table corresponding to the degree of freedom that was
obtained from the frequency table.

HYPOTHESIS TESTING













M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

41
HYPOTHESIS
Testing of Hypothesis

Hypothesis testing: Hypothesis testing begins with an assumption
called a hypothesis that we make about a population parameter. A hypothesis
is a supposition made as a basis for reasoning. According to Prof. Morris
Hamburg, “A hypothesis in statistics is simply a quantitative statement about a
population.” Palmer O Johnson has beautiful described hypothesis as “Islands
in the uncharted seas of thought to be used as bases for consolidation and
recuperation as we advance into the unknown.”
Procedure of Testing Hypothesis

1. Set up a hypothesis: The first thing in hypothesis testing is to set up a
hypothesis about a population parameter. The conventional approach to
hypothesis testing is not to construct a single hypothesis about the
population parameter, but rather to set up two different hypotheses. This
hypothesis must be so constructed that if one hypothesis is accepted, the
other is rejected and vice versa.

The two hypothesis in a statistical test are normally referred to as:
! Null Hypothesis
! Alternative Hypothesis

The null hypothesis is a very useful tool in testing the significance of
difference. In its simplest form the hypothesis asserts that there is no real
difference in the sample and the population in the particular matter under
consideration (hence the word ‘null’ which means invalid, void, or amounting
to nothing) and that the difference found is accidental and unimportant arising
out of fluctuations of sampling.
M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

42
As against the null hypothesis, the alternative hypothesis specifies
those values that the researcher believes to hold true, and, of course, he
hopes that the sample data lead to acceptance of this hypothesis as true.
The null and alternative hypothesis is distinguished by the use of two
different symbols, ‘Ho’ and ‘Ha’ representing the null hypothesis and the
alternative hypothesis, respectively.





2. Set Up a Suitable Significance Level: Having set up the hypothesis,
the next step is to test the validity of Ho against that of Ha at ascertains
level of significance. The confidence with which an experiment rejects – or
retains – a null hypothesis depends upon the significance level adopted.
The significance level is customarily expressed, as a percentage, such as
5 per cent, is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis if it is true.

3. Setting a Test Criterion: The third step is to construct a test criterion.
This involves selecting as appropriate probability distribution for the
particular test, that is, a probability distribution that can properly be
applied. Some probability distributors that are commonly used in testing
procedures are t, F and chi – square. Test criteria must employ an
appropriate probability distribution; for example, if only small sample
information is available, the use of the normal distribution would be
inappropriate.

4. Doing Computations: Having taken the first three steps, we have
completely designed a statistical test. We now precede to the fourth step –
performance of various computations – from a random sample of size ‘n’,
Ho: "# % "& ' ( )Null Hypothesis)

Ha: "# % "& * ( )Alternative Hypothesis)
M.P. Birla Institute of Management Customer Happiness

43
necessary for the test. These calculations include the testing statistic and
the standard error of the testing statistic.

5. Making Decisions: Finally, we may draw statistical conclusions and
take decisions. A statistical conclusion or statistical decision is a decision
either to reject or to accept the null hypothesis. The decision will depend
on whether the computed value of the test criterion falls in the region of
rejection or the region of acceptance.

Two Types of Errors in Testing of Hypothesis
When a statistical hypothesis is tested, there are four possibilities as given
below:
1. The hypothesis is true but our test rejects it. (Type I error)
2. The hypothesis is false but our test accepts it. (Type II error)
3. The hypothesis is true but our test accepts it. (Correct decision)
4. The hypothesis is false but our test rejects it. (Correct decision)

Accept Ho Reject Ha

Ho is true.


Ho is false.


Obviously, the first two possibilities lead to errors.
