Client Testimonial

Airport Public Relations: Common Questions

Why are public relations efforts important for airports?

Someone is going to shape your airport's reputation whether you participate or not. Steady PR keeps trust intact with passengers, airlines, and the community, so when you announce a new route or face an aircraft incident, people already know who you are. It makes crisis management easier too, because the relationships and the habit of communicating are already there.

What makes Aviatrix Communications uniquely qualified for aviation PR?

Our staff are former airport public relations managers, so we have sat in your chair. We have represented airports on everything from billion-dollar terminal development projects to aircraft incidents, and pitched stories that earned national and industry coverage. Our work has won ACI-NA Marketing and Communications Awards for Best Overall Public Relations Program: San Bernardino International in 2021 and New Orleans Louis Armstrong in 2020.

How can press releases benefit an airport's SEO performance?

A press release posted on your own website works twice, once with journalists and once with search engines. We write them to be newsworthy first, then work the terms people actually search into the copy. Uploading releases to your site adds fresh content, improves your online visibility, and drives traffic back to you instead of stopping in a reporter's inbox.

How does Aviatrix Communications work with airport Public Information Officers?

We divide and conquer. We take the pieces that eat a whole day, like drafting the release, running press event logistics, and coordinating media tours, and your PIO keeps the rest. Sharing responsibilities means every detail gets covered and the airport can keep the flow of activities moving. Our staff are former airport PIOs, so we know which parts of the job hand off cleanly and which do not.

What types of press events does Aviatrix Communications plan for airports?

New terminal launches and new route announcements: the moments your community should actually see. We handle all aspects of event management, from the run of show to the media invitations to where people stand for the photo. McKinney National Airport Director Ken Carley credits our strategic planning and media outreach for their terminal groundbreaking with coverage in every major news outlet.
