The Problem

Your Passengers Have Answers. Traditional Surveys Never Get Them.

Traditional Approach

Surveys that never get answered.

  • Long multi-question surveys.
  • Single-digit completion rates.
  • Results arrive days or weeks later.
  • Statistically unreliable samples.
  • No ability to course-correct in real time.

The Infotap Way

Gamified micro-surveys, voluntary, post-authentication.

  • Presented immediately after authentication, to a passenger who is already connected, already online, and under zero pressure to respond. Voluntary participation at 76% completion.
  • Under 30 seconds, end-to-end.
  • 76% completion rate.
  • Instant insights in your dashboard.
  • Course-correct in-shift, not next quarter.

How It Works

From Wi-Fi Tap to Actionable Insight, in Three Steps

  1. 1

    Passenger Connects to Airport Wi-Fi

    The passenger selects your network and authenticates through your existing captive portal, exactly as normal. After successful authentication and Wi-Fi access is granted, the portal forwards the connected passenger to Infotap as the post-login destination. The passenger is already online when the survey appears.

  2. 2

    Survey Completed in 28 Seconds

    Passengers answer 3–5 gamified questions on their phone. No app required, no email address, no friction. Median completion: 28 seconds.

  3. 3

    Insight Arrives in Real Time

    Responses stream directly to your Infotap dashboard the moment each survey is submitted. AI generates executive summaries automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Airport Operators Ask Before They Deploy

Still have questions about your specific Wi-Fi setup or passenger volume? Talk to an airport specialist. Most replies within an hour.

How does Infotap work at an airport?

Infotap integrates with your existing airport Wi-Fi infrastructure. When a passenger connects to your guest network and authenticates, after the captive portal grants Wi-Fi access it forwards the connected passenger to a short, branded Infotap survey as the post-login destination. The passenger is already online when they see the survey. They answer 3–5 questions in approximately 28 seconds, voluntarily, with no condition attached to their connectivity. Every response streams to your Infotap dashboard in real time: no manual collection, no delays.

What completion rates do airports actually see?

CVG International Airport, Infotap's flagship airport deployment, sees a 76% completion rate among passengers who start the survey, and approximately 40% of all Wi-Fi-connected passengers complete a full survey. This produces over 22,000 completed surveys per month at CVG alone. Traditional post-trip email surveys, by comparison, average 2–5% response rates across the aviation industry.

Which Wi-Fi gateway systems does Infotap support?

Infotap is gateway-agnostic and ships with native integrations for Cisco Meraki, Aruba / HPE, Ruckus, Ubiquiti, and Cambium: the five most common enterprise Wi-Fi platforms in North American airports. If your captive portal supports a redirect URL, Infotap works with it. Most airports are fully deployed within one business day of signing.

Can Infotap support ACI ASQ-aligned passenger research?

Yes. Infotap's high-volume, statistically reliable response methodology is well-suited to ACI ASQ-aligned studies. The CVG AAM Awareness Study achieved 3,284 valid respondents with a ±1.71% margin of error, the kind of statistical confidence that supports both internal planning and external reporting to regulatory and accreditation bodies. Custom question sets aligned to ASQ frameworks are available on all paid tiers.

Does Infotap only work on Wi-Fi, or can surveys be deployed elsewhere in the terminal?

Both. Wi-Fi gateway surveys are the primary deployment channel, reaching every connecting passenger automatically. Infotap also supports QR code touchpoints anywhere in the terminal (gates, lounges, F&B areas, baggage claim) and direct survey links for kiosks, tablet stations, and digital signage. All channels feed the same unified dashboard.

What does the AI reporting actually produce?

Infotap's AI engine automatically generates publication-ready executive reports from every survey cycle, without requiring a data analyst. Reports include cross-tabulations, completion funnel analysis, margin of error calculations, traveler persona profiles, sentiment analysis on open-ended responses, and prioritized strategic recommendations. The CVG team receives a complete analytical report within hours of a study closing, ready to share with leadership.

How does Infotap handle passenger data privacy and compliance?

Infotap collects only the data explicitly requested in the survey: no passive tracking, no device fingerprinting, no behavioral data collection. The platform is configurable for GDPR, CCPA, and PIPL-compliant consent flows. Survey data is stored on encrypted infrastructure, never sold to third parties, and the airport owns 100% of the response data. Full data processing agreements are available for airports with specific regulatory requirements.
