Latvian airline airBaltic has become the first airline in the Baltic states to launch a chatbot for the company’s Facebook Messenger account, thus further improving the customer service. Chatbot is a program designed to simulate a conversation with real users.
Martin Gauss, CEO of airBaltic: "airBaltic is known globally for its innovative services and is excited to be among the pioneers who introduce chatbot for its Facebook Messenger account that will make the customer service faster and more efficient. With the chatbot, we can reduce the response time from an average of 15 minutes to just a few seconds."
