With its employees being at the heart of its business, the airline takes pride in its dedication to providing an exceptional customer experience. Challenges Challenged with skyrocketing volumes during the COVID-19 pandemic, Virgin Atlantic embarked on a journey to reimagine and transform its passenger experience with best-in-class digital technology. Some of the main challenges faced included legacy platforms with limited functionality, multiple siloed contact channel platforms, limited chatbot functionality, and a lack of insight into why customers were contacting.
