... 134 • Social media play an important role in providing real-time information about airport operations, including posting alerts about airport closures resulting from inclement weather, network outages, airline computer system failures, air traffic control system delays, and ground traffic delays.

... 135 COMPARING SOCIAL MEDIA USE FOR AIRPORTS AND NON-AVIATION BUSINESSES • The social media customer engagement strategies used by non-aviation businesses are, in many ways, similar to those of airports; that is, both promote the services they provide through contests and discounts and sponsor community and charity initiatives. Any differences in customer engagement strategies are related to the "fit" of certain social media platforms to the business and/or the market served by an airport.
