All of the World Top Airlines seem to have one clear aim by using social networks, they
want to interact with their followers and they want to share their thoughts and
experiences. Social networks allow them to deliver the up-to-date information to
followers without boundary and they offer customer supports through social
networking.
In order to capture fans, they stay active and immediate response to fans’ enquiries and
always update interesting topics. Promotional event is effective to recruit followers.
