Abstract

<p align="justify">Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight steward Maverick Lim received a Service Excellence Award for his outstanding assistance to an elderly German passenger whose connecting flight was cancelled due to a strike. As the only German-speaking crew member, Lim went above and beyond by helping the man with his bags, arranging a hotel, rebooking his flight, and ensuring he received support at each stage of his journey. Lim also kept the passenger’s daughter updated. SIA’s reputation for exceptional service is rooted in rigorous staff selection and significant investment in training and empowerment, ensuring employees are equipped to deliver compassionate, high-quality service. <p align="justify">新加坡航空（SIA）空乘人员 Maverick Lim（林先生）荣获了“卓越服务奖”，以表彰他为一名因罢工导致后续联程航班被取消的德国籍老年旅客提供了杰出的帮助。作为机组中唯一会说德语的成员，Lim 提供了远超其职责范围的无微不至的协助：他不仅帮这位老人提行李、安排酒店、改签机票，还确保老人在旅程的每一个阶段都能得到支持。此外，Lim 还主动向该旅客的女儿实时反馈最新进展。新航享誉全球的卓越服务品质，深植于其严苛的人才选拔机制，以及在员工培训和授权上的巨大投入，这确保了每位员工都具备提供充满人文关怀、高品质服务的能力。
