Corporate Image
Commercial airlines create their corporate images in many ways such as TV advertising and the Internet Broadcasting. Today’s highly competitive airline industry is recognized that having an impressive corporate image may have an impact on customer loyalty towards the airline (Liou & Chuang, 2008 1). It provides a powerful way of differentiating a company’s service, products and prices from its competitors, and to stimulate purchases. To establish a good corporate image is essential for success in the airline industry.
