  • "The question given is intentionally very open ended. As the key phrases used are "air travel" which can encompass all parts of the journey not just the airport or flight experience & "improve the perception" which doesn't necessarily require fixing the problem (although you'd hope that was part of the conclusion). In addition, the constraints of time (1-year) and resources ($10M) means you must be very prescriptive. As such I think it'd be important to ask the following clarifying questions"
