There are no two ways about it: the opening of Heathrow Terminal 5 was a PR disaster, with queues, cancelled flights and lost luggage dominating the headlines. But passenger experience of T5 after the rocky opening was overwhelmingly positive. To convey this to the wider public, ZenithOptimedia came up with a Touchpoints survey. It used research from the people using T5, taken on a daily basis, to communicate that it was working smoothly, with a series of daily ads communicating statistics such as: "Yesterday at T5, 89 per cent of flights arrived on time." Judges said the campaign was a "clear-headed approach in a moment of panic", while consumer research revealed it had made them more inclined to fly British Airways.
