Media relations and crisis management that builds visibility, trust, and protects a brand’s reputation
Safi Airways had been grappling with low levels of awareness, visibility, and trust.
The airline struggled to be considered as a serious player in the regional aviation industry and the media never considered it a credible source of information.
The airline was also in a highly volatile region, and many did not trust it in terms of fleet capacity and passenger safety.
Safi Airlines needed to change this perception and narrative because it adversely affected their brand, operations, and growth.
