It’s often confused with crisis management, but while the two overlap, they are distinct. Crisis management involves responding to a simmering or sudden event that negatively impacts reputation. Case in point: the 2017 United Airlines fiasco in which a passenger was violently removed from his seat.

When a crisis hits, it is important for an organization to have a protocol in place. The protocol should not only focus on how to handle and cope with a crisis, but should also contain a clear communication flow. The question remains – will using social media in crisis communication deliver you an advantage?

Major airports experience increased passenger volumes, and airlines may offer more flights and vacation packages to cater to the demand. As you can imagine, this increased demand is driving up airfares on most routes, with ticket prices for international flights increasing by more than 30%. They are up more than 300% over last year.

Cometh the PR crisis, cometh the troll. The mother of all has been the United Airlines fiasco which saw a passenger “re-accommodated” in a “de-planed situation” after he refused to be “auto-volunteered” off an overbooked flight. Few who have flown with the cost-cutting airline would dispute this. The buck stops with the boss.

The WeWork disaster is particularly instructive for communicators because its crisis was in some ways a matter of PR succeeding too well.
