KLM First Airline with Verified WhatsApp Business Account

KLM first airline with verified WhatsApp business account

WhatsApp and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines have started a unique test for a new service on WhatsApp. KLM now offers customers around the world booking confirmation, check-in notification, boarding pass, flight status updates and asking questions in 10 different languages on WhatsApp via the official WhatsApp Business application. KLM is one of the first companies and the very first airline worldwide with a verified WhatsApp business account.

Together with a small number of businesses, WhatsApp is testing ways for businesses to communicate with customers using WhatsApp. WhatsApp wants to create value for both customers and the businesses they connect with in their daily lives. This pilot program is part of that effort. To this end, WhatsApp has created an enterprise solution that makes it possible for businesses like KLM to connect with their customers in a fast and personal way on WhatsApp. The rollout has already started in a limited number of countries, and the service will become more widely available in the coming days and weeks. 

“I am very proud that KLM is the world’s first airline with a verified WhatsApp account. This unique partnership with WhatsApp underlines our position as an aviation pioneer. We want to be where our customers are and, given the 1 billion users, you have to be on WhatsApp. With an account verified by WhatsApp, we offer our customers worldwide a reliable way to receive their flight information and ask questions 24/7. This truly is a major next step in our social media strategy.” - KLM President & CEO Pieter Elbers

KLM flight info easy to find through verified WhatsApp account

Offering flight information to customers through a verified WhatsApp business account makes information easy to access in a single place, making it available at the airport, en route or at home. Customers can also directly contact KLM’s social media service agents, 24/7, via WhatsApp. The service is available to customers who book tickets or check in via KLM.com and opt-in to receive information via WhatsApp. 

Customers worldwide receive flight information through WhatsApp

Secure messages

Messages are secure so that they can only be read by the customer and KLM, and no one else, not even WhatsApp. Customers can easily recognize verified businesses using the official WhatsApp business application. This means that customers will see a green checkmark badge next to the KLM contact name on WhatsApp.

MIYU: Korean-Inspired Skin Care Specially Formulated for Filipinas

Miyu is a brand-new Korean-formulated skin care from Amway Philippines 

Anything Korean is such a big hit here in the Philippines. In fact "kinain na daw tayo ng sistema ng mga korean drama's" saying was made. Kidding aside, KDrama really did showcase the Korean culture and it was so amazing. From the kilig gestures, cheesy lines, love for their very own heritage, amazing food and of course the not to be missed walang pores, and super pretty skin of the actors and actresses. Hay, inggit much!
