Frequently Asked Questions

How do you coordinate with the NTSB during aviation accidents?
We follow NTSB family assistance and communications protocols precisely. Our team manages public statements coordinated with NTSB guidelines on what information can be released during active investigations. We handle media briefings, family assistance center communications, and ongoing public updates while your operations team focuses on the investigation.
How do you handle viral passenger incident videos?
We deploy immediate social media response within the first thirty minutes, acknowledging the incident with empathy before facts are fully established. We then work with your operations team to gather facts, issue a comprehensive statement, and if warranted, announce policy changes. The goal is to demonstrate accountability before the narrative crystallizes against you.
Can you manage communications during mass flight cancellations?
Yes. We deploy automated and manual communications across booking systems, social media, email, SMS, and airport displays. We draft executive video statements, prepare customer service scripts, manage media inquiries about rebooking policies and compensation, and coordinate with airport authorities on ground operations messaging.
Do you work with freight and logistics companies?
Yes. We handle crisis communications for freight carriers, logistics companies, and shipping firms dealing with cargo incidents, hazardous materials spills, driver safety incidents, supply chain disruptions, and regulatory compliance issues. The reputational dynamics differ from passenger aviation but require equally rigorous communications discipline.
What does aviation crisis preparedness include?
Our preparedness programs include crisis communication plan development, tabletop simulation exercises, media training for pilots and executives, family assistance coordination protocols, regulatory liaison procedures, and pre-approved messaging templates. Annual programs cost between $20,000 and $50,000 depending on fleet size and route complexity.
