Customer satisfaction can be created through a well-crafted service quality strategy, which forms the cornerstone of a successful business-customer relationship. Establishing and nurturing these relationships with customers is vital for long-term success. Within the airline industry, a persistent challenge lies in enhancing the passenger experience during flights, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of customer demands. Addressing this challenge is crucial for airlines aspiring to thrive in a competitive landscape, thus underlining the significance of providing top-notch services. This study addresses this issue by leveraging predictive airline customer satisfaction data analysis. We forecast customer satisfaction levels using a powerful Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) ensemble-based model. An integral aspect of our methodology involves handling missing values in the dataset, for which we utilize mean-value imputation. Furthermore, we introduce a novel logistic Pearson Gini (Log-PG) score to identify the factors that significantly influence airline customer satisfaction. In our predictive model, we achieved notable results, showing an accuracy and precision of 0.96. To ascertain the efficiency of our model, we conducted a comparative analysis with other boosting-type ensemble prediction models, such as gradient boosting and adaptive boosting (AdaBoost). The comparative assessment established the superiority of the XGBoost model in predicting airline customer satisfaction.
