About 1500 questionnaire was downloaded on the Website of (Google forms) during the period (15 August -15 November 2017). It has been electronically sent to users of Egypt air website, at their Facebook accounts. Only 127 questionnaires were returned completed and useable packets. With a response rate 8.5%.
