Description

Due to the public nature of the interactions and the ability to foster quicker responses than traditional media, social media has become a powerful channel for both travelers to post their trip-related questions and issues, and airlines to build their brand images. Based on the Signaling theory and Expectations-Confirmation theory, we propose that airline service recovery via Twitter will boost profitability, and such influence is more vital for network airlines than focused airlines and airlines with higher corporate social responsibility (CSR).
