Quality checks in Cosmos — also known as Service Basics — are a way to document whether essential services were delivered as agreed. These checks help both airlines and service providers ensure reliable, day-to-day operational quality.

When Are Quality Checks Used?

Quality checks are typically created when:

  • A service is missing or incomplete (e.g. unmanned check-in counters)

  • A provider does not meet a basic operational expectation (e.g. lost & found not staffed)

  • An airline wants to document a service breakdown without logging a delay

They can be used proactively or in response to an observed issue.

How Do They Work?

  1. On the Quality Check page, airline users can click + New Check in the top-left corner and select:

    • Service partner

    • Airline

    • Service Basic (e.g. counter staffing, baggage delivery)

  2. The result is marked as either:

    • Check Passed 

    • Check Not Passed 

  3. Optional: Add a comment or upload supporting documentation

  4. The responsible service provider is automatically notified (based on SLA assignment)

What Happens Next?

  • Both sides can comment directly in the Activity Feed. Learn more about the Activity Feed here

  • Issues can be clarified, discussed, or resolved in real time.

  • All checks are stored and tracked for reporting and SLA evaluation.

Why It Matters

Quality checks help turn small issues into structured feedback — without delay codes or formal penalties. Over time, they support a culture of transparency, responsiveness, and continuous improvement.
