The meaning of 'hospitality' according to an airline company

September 27, 2022 •

9 min reading

Whenever we think about hospitality, hotels are usually the first thing that comes to mind. During our 6-month mandate as Ambassadors of Swiss International Air Lines, we wanted to broaden our understanding of the meaning of hospitality according to the aviation industry. What better way of finding out than directly going to the field and being surrounded by professionals in the sector? Marie spent a day with the staff and guests in the SWISS Business lounges at Geneva Airport, while Marion took a flight to Porto and helped the Cabin crew in their everyday tasks.

" Place of work: above the clouds"

Let's start this journey by discovering the vision of the four inspiring speakers we accompa nied during these two wonderful days.

The interviewees:

• Michael Schiess , Head of Lounges, leads a team that is “the highest instance for SWISS in the lounge, representing the brand and leading hospitality daily.”
• Adèle Luthi , Head of Operations, and Magali Brugger , Duty Station Manager, ensure that the clients' prior-to-the-flight experience runs smoothly. They assure that the agents “apply the procedures, the quality, and safety standards.” It is consistent teamwork, communication and coordination, as they act as an intermediary between the two parties
• Martin Ammeter , Head of Cabin, manages all the Cabin crew in Geneva and supervises the cabin operations. He ensures the respect of the standards and is responsible for the continuous development of the Cabin crew members.

The meaning of 'hospitality' for SWISS

We asked our four speakers about their understanding of the word 'hospitality ', and the answers were very different. However, each speaker put across some crucial points for SWISS, and they all gave a good representation of this broad term that differs from one sector to another .

The Geneva SWISS Lounges are the starting point of the journey for many passengers. Michael mentioned: “we have to show them the kind heart we have in Switzerland, that we are very special.” Passengers come from all around the globe, and the goal is to show the quality of “legendary Swiss hospitality,” which is required when joining Swiss International Air Lines . The brand trusts the staff lounge to give the first good impression. Michael makes sure to support and strengthen his employees, so they can give their best input to the customers: “I always say that I build the stage, then my staff can perform.”

“We have to show them the kind heart we have in Switzerland, that we are very special.” Michael Schiess

“Outstanding quality” and “magic moments” are the keywords Martin used numerous times in his answers. He said that much importance is given to the individual and personal side. Like Michael, he thinks trusting the staff to the fullest enables them “to create unforgettable moments that will build customer loyalty and encourage the guests to come back.” The interaction is vital. Staff members like to take a moment to have a conversation and create memorable moments on board that the passenger does not expect. However, sometimes, some of the passengers are not willing to interact. According to Martin: “our strength is to be able to sense what they actually need.” Again, the diversity of passengers is not insignificant; they all have different needs. Therefore, the crew add a human touch and give a broader choice to the guests: the menu or the time they want to eat. The personalized aspect is, of course, especially emphasized for the business class travelers. For instance, the staff know which wine each client prefers. However, personalization does not only mean knowing the guest’s preferences, but it also gives them options they can choose from, such as pre-ordering their SWISS Saveurs menu or booking their aisle seat in advance. Adèle and Magali specify that the passenger is at the center. They talked about the “little extra” that makes you stand out. In case of an issue, it is essential that guests feel the staff members are present to assist them. Staff try to be as transparent as possible, which is what passengers appreciate. If the service has always been good, passengers will be more understanding if it goes bad once. Adèle and Magali also pointed out the importance of communication between SWISS personnel. For sure, the smoother the communication is, the more opportunities there are to improve the guest experience and internal processes.

Differences with the hotel industry

Indeed, the aviation and hotel industries share the idea of the customer always remaining at the center of operations. However, we can sense differences in how customer satisfaction is nurtured in the two sectors. Michael mentioned the time constraint, which is managed differently in the hotel industry. Passengers coming to the lounge have a limited amount of time before taking their flight. All the services requested, such as having lunch, must be delivered quickly. There are waves of people coming to the lounge, usually two hours before the flight, who must be served simultaneously. This “puts much pressure on the system, logistics and facilities.” Then, the lounge goes quiet for some time. Michael also pointed out that unforeseen events can happen, such as a flight cancellation or a plane that must return to the airport. All these events have to be handled efficiently to avoid a failure in the system. The staff members have to offer a service that the guest cannot do by themselves, for example, quickly finding new flight connections. Adèle and Magali explained that going to the airport is primarily a step from point A to point B: passengers are not at the airport to relax or have a good time: “it is a constraint, something you have to go through.”  It is usually stressful, and you never know why people are traveling, it may be for holiday, business or any kind of event. Therefore, the important goal of the airline industry is to transform this way of traveling into a pleasant hospitality journey and make the guest feel serene, safe and welcomed by the different stakeholders throughout the process. Martin said that the most significant challenge on board is to deal with the only resources available. In a hotel, if a guest asks for a product, the staff usually have it in the kitchen or they can find a solution to purchase it. In contrast, on board, “we count on the creativity and expertise of the crew to offer a high-quality product that will also satisfy the passenger, even though it is different than what was asked for.” Moreover, the safety aspect does not often feature in a hotel, but on board when there is turbulence, safety comes first! This for sure influences the service, but thankfully, passengers are generally understanding. After all, hotels and airlines have a codependent relationship. Despite their differences, they must align in terms of customer service and work together to create a meaningful journey from A to Z.

“Our strength is to be able to sense what the passengers actually need.” Martin Ammeter

The future of hospitality in the airline industry

Hospitality has come through constant evolution. Hotels have overcome many changes and technological advancements, but “ the customer has always been at the center. ” 

This is how our four speakers see the future of hospitality in the airline industry.

Michael: “The core of customer service will stay the same: giving the best of ourselves to our guests.” 

Martin: Airlines  can mirror the “eye for detail” they have in the hotel industry. The customer base will evolve and the challenge will be finding services that match customer needs. Individualization is important but needs to be manageable for the staff. They will still be free to perform as long as the standards are respected.

Magali and Adèle: T he importance of maintaining the level of quality that has been reached. Despite the evolution that will follow, saving time to offer a consistent service is mandatory. We are heading towards a service that will become increasingly personalizable. 

With the pandemic, travel habits have evolved and low-cost companies may not be at the center stage anymore. Instead, people travel less, but when they do, they travel better - spending more on comfort such as in premium economy. For efficiency and health reasons, technology and automation may also become stronger with self-check-ins or self-bag drops. To compensate for the lack of human exchanges at certain times of the journey, trust and one-on-one interactions will be developed and reinforced. Indeed, even though machines will (and already) replace humans, the remaining staff will be more devoted to the guest’s experience.

Other services such as baggage collection directly at home and delivery where the guest will be staying are already established by Swiss in partnership with AirPortr. Here again, we can see how they apply the concept of individualized experience by providing tailored offers. The purpose is to prevent stressful and unpleasant events, and allow passengers to customize their journey according to their needs. Let’s not forget that the sentence “people buy experiences, not products” is already shaping future business ideas and services. The future lies in accommodating the guest’s unique characteristics. 

With customer satisfaction and hospitality also comes respect for guests' values and beliefs, such as the involvement of sustainability in their daily lives. SWISS is already one step ahead with the “sun-to-liquid” fuel, which will make it the first airline company to use renewable energy sources. This may attract more passengers who are sensitive to these matters. 

“In case of an issue, the staff members try to be as transparent as possible, which is what the passengers appreciate.” Adèle Luthi et Magali Brugger

A few anecdotes in the air

Because we know you are curious about what can happen in the airline industry, we asked our interviewees to share some memorable anecdotes with us. 

Michael explained that once, a passenger in the business lounge in Zurich realized he'd forgotten his passport at home in Hamburg, but had to fly to Singapore the next day. As he was a very loyal guest, the SWISS staff hatched a plan. The passenger's wife dropped the passport at Hamburg airport and a SWISS crew member took it during a flight to Zurich. Michael went to the plane's door to pick it up and handed it on time to the passenger, who was very happy. It was definitely a risk, but it was communicated to the guest when they decided to proceed with the idea. Sometimes, the crew has to think outside the box and go beyond standard procedures to please the guest. 

Adèle and Magali remembered when a business class passenger did not want to board because she did not have her hand cream and wanted to go to the pharmacy to buy some. As the plane doors were about to close, the crew had to find a solution quickly. A flight attendant finally handed the passenger her own hand cream. Another time, a lady was behaving rather threateningly with her nail file because she was angry that she had to pay fees for her extra luggage. In these times, the crew members have to talk calmly and patiently with the passenger to understand what is happening in order to offer solutions and release the tension. 

Martin explained that he was once about to take the lunch order in the business class when a passenger asked him if he had eaten already. He said no, to which she responded, “then go have your lunch and serve me afterward. I can wait”. That was a kind show of consideration towards the staff.

It's time to land

This behind-the-scenes session with SWISS allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of hospitality from an airline's perspective. From having gone through the business lounges to the aircraft, passing by briefings and security checks, it is now time to land. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Geneva airport. For your safety and comfort, please keep your seatbelts fastened until the safety signs are turned off. We hope you have enjoyed sharing this journey with us and wish you a pleasant stay.

What to Know About Hospitality and Tourism Management Degree Programs

Hospitality management degrees are designed to train future leaders in the hospitality industry.

How to Study Hospitality Management

Getty Images

Running a company in any segment of the hospitality industry requires not only financial and marketing prowess, but also an understanding of how to create an inviting environment for guests.

The art and science of hosting strangers is an essential skill for people working in many kinds of businesses, including airlines, casinos, cruise ships, festivals, hotels and restaurants.

Running a company in any segment of the hospitality industry requires not only financial and marketing prowess, but also an understanding of how to create an inviting environment for guests. Cultivating that marketable skill set is the goal of associate, bachelor's and graduate programs in hospitality management.

What a Hospitality Management Degree Is and What Classes It Requires

The goal of any course of study in hospitality management is to train people to create and maintain spaces where others will immediately feel at home.

“Understanding how to take care of the customer is a foundational aspect of the hospitality discipline,” Angela Ramsey, senior director of communication at the University of Nevada—Las Vegas William F. Harrah College of Hospitality, explained in an email.

Hospitality management degrees are, foremost, degrees in business, says Michael Sabitoni, chair of the food and beverage management department and the international travel and tourism studies department at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island. They include classes in accounting, finance, human resources, law and technology, he says.

However, unlike a general business degree, a hospitality degree typically includes specialized coursework focusing on the hospitality industry, such as classes on food service business operations, event management principles, and hotel and resort leadership, Sabitoni says. An overview class about tourism is also typically included in hospitality management programs, and industry internships are often mandatory, he adds.

Many hospitality degree programs require students to participate in experiential learning by helping to operate a student-run hotel or restaurant. They may also contain classes on:

• Eco-tourism or sustainable travel
• Global tourism and special considerations involved with international trips
• Customer service protocols
• Assessing the quality of guest experiences
• Specific types of hospitality establishments, such as country clubs, golf courses, resorts, stadiums, timeshares or theme parks
• Nuances involved in planning certain kinds of events, such as conventions or weddings
• Concerns that face certain demographics of customers, including women and people of color
• Various types of tourism, including business trips and visits to cultural destinations or historical sites

Top Undergraduate Schools With Hospitality Management Majors

Many U.S. colleges and universities allow undergraduates to major in hospitality management, including multiple nationally renowned academic institutions. Cornell University of New York, an Ivy League college, has a school devoted to hospitality.

Exceptional hospitality programs are often based in major metropolitan areas that attract significant tourism. For example, New York University and Boston University in Massachusetts offer a hospitality management degree.

How to Know if a Hospitality Management Degree Is Right for You

An interest in the food and beverage sector, a love for travel or an interest in entertaining people may lead someone to consider pursuing a degree in hospitality management. But prospective students should be aware that the hospitality sector has leadership roles for people with all kinds of interests and personalities.

Though some managerial positions in the hospitality industry are customer-facing jobs that require significant people skills, there are also back-of-the-house managerial jobs that concentrate on logistics, Sabitoni says.

Significant cultural awareness and strong communication abilities are essential in hospitality. Foreign language skills are also valuable but not mandatory, Sabitoni says.

What You Can Do With a Hospitality Management Degree

Hospitality programs are designed to train future leaders in the sector.

“It can include anything within the hospitality vertical, from hotel investment companies to real estate firms to our big brands which are the Marriotts, the Hiltons, the Four Seasons, to data analytics companies to Googles to Amazons,” says Kate Walsh, dean of the Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration at Cornell. “Anything that touches hospitality as a part of their business product is something where our students get involved.”

Real estate investment firms often invest in hotel buildings, so people with degrees in hospitality management sometimes find jobs in the real estate sector, Walsh says. Alumni of hospitality management programs sometimes become management consultants who concentrate on assisting companies in the hospitality industry, she adds.

Executive and director roles in the industry typically require at least a bachelor's degree. Many high-level leadership positions at U.S. hospitality firms pay annual salaries above $70,000, according to an article published by Monster.com, a job website.

In 2020, graduates of Cornell's Nolan School had an average base salary of slightly over $69,000 and an average bonus of nearly $15,000, according to the school's employment report .

Considerations for Potential Hospitality Students

Aspiring hospitality managers should be aware of trends that may affect them when they enter the industry, experts say.

This sector has severe labor shortages at hotels and restaurants, many of which laid off workers due to pandemic-related safety measures and now have struggled to replace those workers even after raising wages.

Because of these staffing concerns, many hospitality companies have introduced initiatives to recruit and retain talented staff, improve working conditions, increase job satisfaction and reduce employee turnover, Walsh says.

When comparing hospitality programs, prospective students should investigate whether those programs include experiential learning opportunities, experts say, noting that hands-on projects are one of the best ways to gain hospitality skills. It’s also optimal if hospitality schools offer courses on design, which can inform aesthetic choices about how a hospitality venue looks, according to experts.

“I think the industry needs innovative thinkers," Walsh says. "They need people who think big culturally, who are comfortable with different modes of work, so it’s a great time to join the industry. The industry is trying to be extremely intentional in providing compelling career paths.”

Hospitality, Travel and Tourism Management (BS)

Program description.

The BS in Hospitality, Travel and Tourism Management prepares students for management positions in one of the largest economic sectors worldwide. Combining a thorough liberal arts program of study with industry- specific business classes, students gain in-depth knowledge in the areas of hospitality finance, sales and marketing, revenue management, special event planning, destination development, and food and beverage operations. Students learn how to develop new hotel and resort concepts, market tourism destinations, and manage tourism and convention bureaus. Frequent site visits, industry events, and guest speakers ensure that students make use of all the opportunities New York City has to offer, both in and out of the classroom. In addition, they gain hands-on experience through internships, which develop them into successful—and highly employable—industry professionals.

New York University's Office of Undergraduate Admissions supports the application process for all undergraduate programs at NYU.  For additional information about undergraduate admissions, including application requirements, see How to Apply . 

Program Requirements

Concentrations.

The program requires the completion of 128 credits, and students may choose one of six concentrations listed below.

The BS in Hospitality, Travel and Tourism Management prepares students for a wide range of careers in hotels, restaurants, catering companies, real estate and management services companies, online travel agencies, marketing and PR firms, destination marketing organizations, event companies and consulting firms. The degree has six concentrations:

Event Management

This concentration explores career opportunities in festivals, weddings and social events, trade shows, and experiential marketing.

The event sector is growing fast, and offers a wealth of career opportunities. Whether you are interested in festivals, weddings, business conventions or sporting events, this concentration will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in this exciting field.

Event planning, design and production are a central focus of this concentration. Event planners/producers coordinate every detail of the event: from the venue and speakers to arranging for printed materials and audio-visual equipment. They develop the concept for the event, and liaise with suppliers and staff. Event planners/producers may work for non-profit organizations, associations, hotels, corporations, and government. Many are independent business owners and coordinate events for a range of clients.

Events can also play an important role in a company’s marketing strategy. Experiential or event marketing is a promotional strategy that involves face-to-face contact between companies and their customers at special events like concerts, fairs, and sporting events. Brands use event marketing entertainment (like shows, contests, or parties) to reach consumers through direct hand-to-hand sampling or interactive displays.

Marketing and Analytics

In this concentration, students study hospitality and travel sales and marketing, as well as strategies and processes that optimize a business’s revenues.

The marketing and analytics concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of the marketing functions of hospitality businesses.  Professionals in marketing and branding roles need strong analytical skills as they conduct market research, oversee multimedia advertising campaigns, and consult with outside agencies, promotional representatives and corporate executives.

Marketers and revenue managers currently evolve in an increasingly digital and data-driven environment. They are tasked to develop and implement strategies to maximize the business's revenues and profitability. On the basis of daily reports, they make predictions of demand and make distribution channels and pricing decisions. They also leverage the power of loyalty programs and optimize the entire guest acquisition phase; in partnership with travel agencies - on and offline - and other travel intermediaries.

Leadership and Management

This concentration focuses on the operational aspects of hospitality businesses – a great concentration for budding general managers!

The leadership and management concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of the operational aspects of hospitality businesses. This is an attractive concentration for budding general managers, as the concentration includes aspects of sales and marketing, food and beverage management, but also leadership and law. Hotel operations roles are available in a wide range of departments: front desk, catering, events, housekeeping and human resources. Professionals in operations oversee the daily activities of their teams, and aim to ensure guest satisfaction.

Hotel Real Estate Finance and Development

This concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of financial management and the hotel development process.

The hotel real estate finance and development concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of financial management and the hotel development process. Hotel finance careers may include responsibilities such as overseeing the financial processes of the hotel, maintaining audits and reports, producing monthly income statements, and coordinating budgets and forecasts. The hospitality sector is mostly associated with the hotel industry, however, many other asset classes fall into this sector, including large scale resorts, spas, timeshares, restaurants and casinos.

Another aspect of this concentration is hotel development and asset management. Many well-known hotel brand names do not own the building in which the hotel operates, but rather contract their management and brand name to the owner for a fee. Owners and real estate investment trusts employ analysts to maximize the returns earned by the property. Hotel investment professionals produce valuations, and make recommendations about the development of new assets or the remodeling of existing assets.

Travel and Tourism Development

This concentration prepares students for careers in destination marketing organizations, (online) travel agents, tour operators, airlines, cruise lines, PR firms, and visitor attractions.

The travel and tourism industry has shown remarkable resilience in the face of economic challenges, geopolitical conditions and natural disasters. It remains one of the largest and fastest growing industry sectors in the world. Graduate tourism degrees prepare students for a wealth of careers in the public, private and voluntary sectors. WTTC estimates that the travel and tourism sectors support 292 million jobs worldwide, or 1 in every 10 jobs.

The travel and tourism development concentration prepares students for careers in destination marketing organizations, (online) travel agents, tour operators, airlines, cruise lines, event companies, development agencies, marketing and PR firms and visitor attractions. Students will explore various aspects of this large and multi-faceted sector, including casinos, special interest tourism products, sports tourism and mega-events, entrepreneurship and destination marketing.

Entrepreneurship

In this concentration, students will learn the different aspects of the typical entrepreneurship journey: from ideation, to prototyping,  to business launch, and management as applied to hospitality.

Entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in innovation, economic development and competitiveness. The entrepreneurship concentration provides students with in-depth knowledge of the crucial role that entrepreneurship plays in the travel and hospitality business. It also provides them with the entrepreneurial and innovative mindset sought after by many employers. The courses offer an overview of the different aspects of the typical entrepreneurship cycle, from ideation to business launch and management. Courses in this concentration are experiential,  applying theory to real world problems and opportunities.

With airline and hospitality industries set for a strong recovery in 2022, the smartest companies are positioning themselves to attract a pool of global talent in an ever more competitive environment, embracing the opportunities and challenges that come along with it.

Although the full impact of the Omicron variant on the travel industry is not yet known, with borders reopening across the world and recovery settling in, airlines and hospitality brands are again looking ahead with an expansive lens. Crisis always brings with it opportunity — and despite the incredible challenges the sectors faced during the past 20 months, a range of new opportunities are emerging.

For one, travel demand is again surging, requiring airlines and hospitality companies to rapidly hire and retain workers who are eager to utilize their skills in an accelerating global industry. The travel industry’s embrace of digital technologies and innovation is driving an increasing need for expertise in these fields. Additionally, the benefits that the global airline and hospitality industries offer​​ — and have been innovating to become more competitive — will help attract and retain talent. Businesses that understand how to appeal to this emerging labor base through new working models and the right culture and values will find themselves well ahead of the game for 2022 and beyond.

Yet amidst these opportunities, these same organizations also must contend with growing competition for qualified talent, along with challenges related to shortages of qualified workers. How will they cope?

SkiftX chatted with Boston Consulting Group’s Tom McCaleb and Adam Gordon, both managing directors and partners, about the emerging opportunities for talent recruitment, training, and retention across hospitality and airlines. The conversation provides key insights to travel companies as they navigate recent staffing challenges and position themselves for the future.

SkiftX: Given the shortages and increased competition for talent facing the industry, what do you see as the key opportunities for the airline and hospitality industries in approaching new talent?

Tom McCaleb: There are an incredible number of hospitality job openings at this time that offer higher wages and more flexibility than pre-pandemic times. Industry leaders are trying to make this industry more attractive to employees by fishing in new labor pools, adding flexibility, and offering new benefits. It’s about changing the entire employee value proposition, not only increasing wages.

Adam Gordon: Airlines are ready to hire again. Because airlines are mostly unionized, the work rules and pay rates for the frontline workforce are largely set through bargaining units. But airlines offer a few things that top talent would find attractive at any stage in their career.

First, the industry is undergoing a digital and data revolution, which is appealing to top talent. Second, airlines offer great travel benefits — something that’s extra appealing coming out of a pandemic. Third, disruption to the industry is creating real opportunities, whether those are strategic landscape shifts or the ability for players to capture share, launch new business models, or gain financially. These are powerful for people — especially those coming into the corporate side who are looking for new challenges.

Additionally, for a strategic work group like pilots, legacy air carriers offer eventual progression into international networks with hubs in attractive cities, while low-cost carriers offer fast career growth, fresh cultures, and the ability to live in lower cost areas.

SkiftX: Why does a “business as usual” approach to talent attraction and retention no longer apply to the airline and hospitality industries?

McCaleb: The hospitality industry’s frontline workforce is really stretched right now. A root cause of this is that the talent sourcing pipeline is too narrow. There needs to be a wider net cast to stimulate demand at the front end of the pipeline for entry-level workers, raising awareness of the industry as early as high school. Then the pipeline needs to be widened with more educational pathways to help frontline workers move into managerial positions.

Gordon: Airlines have a few areas of very highly skilled, highly trained groups of workers, such as pilots and maintenance technicians, but there’s a long lead time for hiring and a high bar of qualifications, which makes stimulating supply challenging. Many airlines have launched programs to expand the supply pipeline and attract pilots early in their careers.

McCaleb: I think the airlines offer a great example for the hotel industry in this area. You can find both large airlines and regional airlines with robust in-house academies for maintenance technicians and other jobs that require specialized skills. Similar educational programs do exist for hospitality, but the whole pipeline needs to be much bigger.

SkiftX: What skills and experience might benefit the types of emerging roles within the airline and hospitality industries that companies may not be seeking?

Gordon: Sustainability will be a big one for airlines. Some carriers have already made strategic moves here, and others are trying to get their heads around it. It’s only a matter of time before chief sustainability officers join the executive ranks.

Digital analytics will be big as well. This is probably true in most industries, but airlines are really keen to build that capability out and have the data to do it. Airlines also recognize that they need a powerful, modern recruiting engine. Attracting top talent in this space will require a rethink of traditional recruiting methods and a compelling employee value proposition.

McCaleb: Being able to adeptly use technology to anticipate guest needs while actively engaging with the guest is going to be extremely important for frontline hotel workers. You always had to be a warm, caring person to shine at hotel guest service. Now, you need to be a warm person who also knows how to use technology.

Knowing how to analyze and apply data will be a key skill for employees on the commercial side of hotels too. For example, revenue managers will need to be able to use the next generation of tech systems for more sophisticated decisions on pricing and room availability versus relying on spreadsheets.

You can think about two categories of workers: digital natives, who know how to use technology intuitively, and others who may be seasoned in the industry and engaging with guests, but aren’t as fluent with technology. Helping these workers re-skill is just as important as sourcing the next generation of workers who have those skills.

SkiftX: How are digital transformation trends impacting the types of jobs that are available within the airline and hospitality industries?

McCaleb: More access to better data means fewer mundane tasks. There are always going to be housekeepers and engineers, but a lot of the hotel operations jobs will be about using data versus performing repetitive functions.

Gordon: At corporate headquarters, data and advanced analytics will become even more integrated into daily tasks and some critical tasks — like network planning, crew scheduling and operations control — will become increasingly automated. Workers will need the skills and flexibility to work in this environment. Frontline staff will see digital transformation reduce the burden of mundane work and allow them to focus on improved customer service, better problem solving, and greater ability to think beyond the task at hand.

SkiftX: In light of the “Great Resignation” and wider trends in the labor force, what are some meaningful, flexible, or remote ways of working that can be adopted in the airline and hospitality industries to attract and retain employees?

McCaleb: Our research found that 40 percent of workers who left hospitality jobs in the last year are now in flexible roles outside of hospitality, such as gig economy jobs.

The industry is beginning to experiment with flexible work shifts to attract and retain workers. I also think we’ll increasingly see technology solutions that will enable hotel brands to share labor across different properties​​ — even if they’re run by different owners. Beyond providing flexibility to workers, this could help properties match worker supply and demand.

Gordon: Many frontline workers left airlines for other industries, and many pilots and maintenance technicians sought out early retirement or left for more flexible jobs or their own small businesses. It’s challenging to make this work for the more technical jobs with high training requirements, but airlines are exploring seasonality, more flexible hours, and job sharing to attract gate agents, flight attendants, and those working on the ramp. These models can make good sense for airlines, given predictable peaks and troughs in labor demand.

SkiftX: Is there anything else either of you would like to add before we wrap up?

McCaleb: The issue of diversity is a big one for hospitality, like the rest of the U.S. economy. It’s an extremely diverse industry on the front line, but some groups are still under-represented in more senior roles. The industry is aware of this, and many companies have initiatives to address it, but we’re a long way from where we need to be. A renewed push for leadership diversity in the industry will help unlock new labor pools and new potential.

How Airlines and Hospitality Companies Can Engage and Attract Talent for the Future

Boston Consulting Group + Skift

December 21st, 2021 at 10:00 AM EST

With airline and hospitality industries set for a strong recovery in 2022, the smartest companies are positioning themselves to attract a pool of global talent in an ever more competitive environment, embracing the opportunities and challenges that come along with it.

Boston Consulting Group

This sponsored content was created in collaboration with a Skift partner.

Although the full impact of the Omicron variant on the travel industry is not yet known, with borders reopening across the world and recovery settling in, airlines and hospitality brands are again looking ahead with an expansive lens. Crisis always brings with it opportunity — and despite the incredible challenges the sectors faced during the past 20 months, a range of new opportunities are emerging.

For one, travel demand is again surging, requiring airlines and hospitality companies to rapidly hire and retain workers who are eager to utilize their skills in an accelerating global industry. The travel industry’s embrace of digital technologies and innovation is driving an increasing need for expertise in these fields. Additionally, the benefits that the global airline and hospitality industries offer​​ — and have been innovating to become more competitive — will help attract and retain talent. Businesses that understand how to appeal to this emerging labor base through new working models and the right culture and values will find themselves well ahead of the game for 2022 and beyond.

Yet amidst these opportunities, these same organizations also must contend with growing competition for qualified talent, along with challenges related to shortages of qualified workers. How will they cope?

SkiftX chatted with Boston Consulting Group’s Tom McCaleb and Adam Gordon, both managing directors and partners, about the emerging opportunities for talent recruitment, training, and retention across hospitality and airlines. The conversation provides key insights to travel companies as they navigate recent staffing challenges and position themselves for the future.

SkiftX: Given the shortages and increased competition for talent facing the industry, what do you see as the key opportunities for the airline and hospitality industries in approaching new talent?

Tom McCaleb: There are an incredible number of hospitality job openings at this time that offer higher wages and more flexibility than pre-pandemic times. Industry leaders are trying to make this industry more attractive to employees by fishing in new labor pools, adding flexibility, and offering new benefits. It’s about changing the entire employee value proposition, not only increasing wages.

Adam Gordon: Airlines are ready to hire again. Because airlines are mostly unionized, the work rules and pay rates for the frontline workforce are largely set through bargaining units. But airlines offer a few things that top talent would find attractive at any stage in their career.

First, the industry is undergoing a digital and data revolution, which is appealing to top talent. Second, airlines offer great travel benefits — something that’s extra appealing coming out of a pandemic. Third, disruption to the industry is creating real opportunities, whether those are strategic landscape shifts or the ability for players to capture share, launch new business models, or gain financially. These are powerful for people — especially those coming into the corporate side who are looking for new challenges.

Additionally, for a strategic work group like pilots, legacy air carriers offer eventual progression into international networks with hubs in attractive cities, while low-cost carriers offer fast career growth, fresh cultures, and the ability to live in lower cost areas.

SkiftX: Why does a “business as usual” approach to talent attraction and retention no longer apply to the airline and hospitality industries?

McCaleb: The hospitality industry’s frontline workforce is really stretched right now. A root cause of this is that the talent sourcing pipeline is too narrow. There needs to be a wider net cast to stimulate demand at the front end of the pipeline for entry-level workers, raising awareness of the industry as early as high school. Then the pipeline needs to be widened with more educational pathways to help frontline workers move into managerial positions.

Gordon: Airlines have a few areas of very highly skilled, highly trained groups of workers, such as pilots and maintenance technicians, but there’s a long lead time for hiring and a high bar of qualifications, which makes stimulating supply challenging. Many airlines have launched programs to expand the supply pipeline and attract pilots early in their careers.

McCaleb: I think the airlines offer a great example for the hotel industry in this area. You can find both large airlines and regional airlines with robust in-house academies for maintenance technicians and other jobs that require specialized skills. Similar educational programs do exist for hospitality, but the whole pipeline needs to be much bigger.

SkiftX: What skills and experience might benefit the types of emerging roles within the airline and hospitality industries that companies may not be seeking?

Gordon: Sustainability will be a big one for airlines. Some carriers have already made strategic moves here, and others are trying to get their heads around it. It’s only a matter of time before chief sustainability officers join the executive ranks.

Digital analytics will be big as well. This is probably true in most industries, but airlines are really keen to build that capability out and have the data to do it. Airlines also recognize that they need a powerful, modern recruiting engine. Attracting top talent in this space will require a rethink of traditional recruiting methods and a compelling employee value proposition.

McCaleb: Being able to adeptly use technology to anticipate guest needs while actively engaging with the guest is going to be extremely important for frontline hotel workers. You always had to be a warm, caring person to shine at hotel guest service. Now, you need to be a warm person who also knows how to use technology.

Knowing how to analyze and apply data will be a key skill for employees on the commercial side of hotels too. For example, revenue managers will need to be able to use the next generation of tech systems for more sophisticated decisions on pricing and room availability versus relying on spreadsheets.

You can think about two categories of workers: digital natives, who know how to use technology intuitively, and others who may be seasoned in the industry and engaging with guests, but aren’t as fluent with technology. Helping these workers re-skill is just as important as sourcing the next generation of workers who have those skills.

SkiftX: How are digital transformation trends impacting the types of jobs that are available within the airline and hospitality industries?

M cCaleb: More access to better data means fewer mundane tasks. There are always going to be housekeepers and engineers, but a lot of the hotel operations jobs will be about using data versus performing repetitive functions.

Gordon: At corporate headquarters, data and advanced analytics will become even more integrated into daily tasks and some critical tasks — like network planning, crew scheduling and operations control — will become increasingly automated. Workers will need the skills and flexibility to work in this environment. Frontline staff will see digital transformation reduce the burden of mundane work and allow them to focus on improved customer service, better problem solving, and greater ability to think beyond the task at hand.

SkiftX: In light of the “Great Resignation” and wider trends in the labor force, what are some meaningful, flexible, or remote ways of working that can be adopted in the airline and hospitality industries to attract and retain employees?

McCaleb: Our research found that 40 percent of workers who left hospitality jobs in the last year are now in flexible roles outside of hospitality, such as gig economy jobs.

The industry is beginning to experiment with flexible work shifts to attract and retain workers. I also think we’ll increasingly see technology solutions that will enable hotel brands to share labor across different properties​​ — even if they’re run by different owners. Beyond providing flexibility to workers, this could help properties match worker supply and demand.

Gordon: Many frontline workers left airlines for other industries, and many pilots and maintenance technicians sought out early retirement or left for more flexible jobs or their own small businesses. It’s challenging to make this work for the more technical jobs with high training requirements, but airlines are exploring seasonality, more flexible hours, and job sharing to attract gate agents, flight attendants, and those working on the ramp. These models can make good sense for airlines, given predictable peaks and troughs in labor demand.

SkiftX: Is there anything else either of you would like to add before we wrap up?

McCaleb: The issue of diversity is a big one for hospitality, like the rest of the U.S. economy. It’s an extremely diverse industry on the front line, but some groups are still under-represented in more senior roles. The industry is aware of this, and many companies have initiatives to address it, but we’re a long way from where we need to be. A renewed push for leadership diversity in the industry will help unlock new labor pools and new potential.

October 11, 2023 - by Paul Schattenberg

Connor Clark, Ph.D., an expert in sustainable tourism, has joined the Department of Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism in the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences .

Clark, who came to the department in August, brings expertise in sustainable nature-based tourism with an emphasis on ecological and resource conservation in tourism development.

“Having someone with Dr. Clark’s focus on sustainable tourism and an eye for resilient and thriving communities brings a further dimension to the scholarly efforts of our department,” said Brian King, Ph.D., head of the Department of Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism. “He will also bring greater depth to our understanding of international hospitality and tourism, including the perspectives of diverse populations and global communities.”

Clark earned a doctoral degree in community resources and development with an emphasis in tourism management from Arizona State University; a master’s degree in global management from Thunderbird School of Global Management, Phoenix; and a bachelor’s degree in Latin American studies from Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah. He also has had international study experiences, including study abroad courses in South Africa and Mexico.

Clark’s role and previous experience

In his role as an assistant professor in the department, Clark is responsible for developing and teaching coursework in hospitality, hotel management and tourism. He will also design and conduct tourism-related research and advise graduate students.

Before coming to Texas A&M University , Clark was an assistant professor in the Recreation and Tourism Management Program in the School of Human Ecology at Georgia Southern University.

There, he designed and taught recreation and tourism management courses and conducted tourism and recreation research. He also assisted with program design, marketing and recruiting. Clark also has experience as a research assistant for Arizona State University and Arizona State Parks and Trails, helping develop the Arizona Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan.

He was also a research associate at the Center for Sustainable Tourism at Arizona State University, where he had additional duties as an instructor in the School of Community Resources and Development.

Along with research and teaching, Clark’s passions include helping micro- and small businesses. Prior to his academic career, he served as a market analyst and then director of field operations for Elevate Global in Lima, Peru; a microenterprise consultant at the Inter-American Development Bank in Lima; and he has experience in caregiving services, including hospice care.  

“I am very excited to take my international development background and integrate it into my tourism teaching and research so that it brings an international and community development focus,” Clark said.  

Tourism and ecological conservation  

Some of the research projects in which Clark has been involved include: 

• A New Vision for Sustainability in the Southwest Borderlands: How Ecological Restoration Can Invite Tourism, Regional Economic Opportunities and Improved Cross-border Relations.
• Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan for Arizona, Arizona State Parks and Trails.
• Understanding the Changing Relationships of Indigenous Peoples with their Natural Environments: A Cross-Cultural Study.

Clark has been published in several well-known refereed journals, including the Journal of Travel Research , Journal of Sustainable Tourism , Current Issues in Tourism , Journal of Ecotourism , Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Technology , and Tourism Review International . He also has articles accepted for publication in the Handbook on Crisis and Disaster Management in Tourism . Some of the topics of his work include:

• Building community resilience at a cross-border destination.
• Preserving and protecting resources at the Arizona-Mexico border through sustainable tourism development and ecological restoration.
• Agave: The peculiar plant fueling new tourism trends and saving endangered species. 

He also has given numerous conference presentations on topics ranging from tourism potential and appreciation at the U.S.-Mexico border, the political ecology of border landscapes, engaging tourism and conservation stakeholders in the Sky Island borderlands to tourism development and ecological restoration and the use of technology in nature-based tourism.

“As a proud new member of the department, I look forward to continuing my focus on issues related to sustainable tourism development, resource preservation and resilient communities at the U.S.-Mexico border, across Texas and in Latin America,” Clark said.
