This project involved the study about the rights of international air passengers and the liabilities of airlines, so as to raise public and lawmakers’ awareness of the uncertainties in these areas.  It also proposed long term solutions at International Civil Aviation Organisation and international air law conferences.  The objective is to encourage the evolution of a set of comprehensive and explicit air passenger protection policies that would benefit both passengers as well as carriers.

This project proposes new operating procedures for Cathay Pacific’s ticketing office, aimed at improving work flow, increasing productivity, enhancing customer satisfaction, as well as minimising down time in the event of an unforeseen closure of the airline’s ticketing office.  Recommendations – which have since been implemented by the airline – include a new set of procedures for issuance of tickets, dealing with partner travel agents, and handling of walk-in customers.  Also included were a set of guidelines for staff empowerment and the dissemination of information to the airline’s customers and stake holders.
