Quelle communication
pour Air X ?
28 Juillet 2003
1
Le constat
Air X est devenue la première compagnie aérienne « low cost » en Europe et notamment en France. Entreprise performante, elle est mal connue des médias français et ne bénéficie pas aujourd’hui de l’image à laquelle elle pourrait légitimement prétendre. La notoriété de Air X en France est assez faible et l’image de la compagnie reste floue. Les attaques répétées des grands transporteurs aériens et les procès engagés pour concurrence déloyale concourent à brouiller l’image de la compagnie.
Par ailleurs, les compagnies « low cost » ont la réputation de maltraiter leurs salariés avec une politique sociale à minima et certains articles, tel que celui paru au mois de mai dernier dans Alternatives économiques reprennent ce cheval de bataille et nuisent à l’image de la compagnie.
Cette image floue qui souffre d’une connotation négative est paradoxale et dangereuse.
Paradoxale, parce que les clients plébiscitent Air X. La clientèle de Air X augmente de 30 % par an, son taux de remplissage est élevé et elle est la première compagnie en Europe en terme de ponctualité.
Dangereuse, parce qu’elle peut laisser penser aux clients potentiels que Air X casse les prix au détriment de la sécurité. Et elle peut laisser penser aux milieux d’affaires que son succès sera éphémère, parce que basé sur un modèle économique fragile.
Autant d’arguments que la concurrence ne se gêne pas d’exploiter auprès de la presse.
Il faut donc réagir avec la volonté de construire, dans le temps, une image claire et pérenne.

What Image Should Air X Project?
July 28, 2003
1
Background
Air X has become the leading low-cost airline company in Europe, especially in France. This high-performance company is not well known to French media, and does not yet enjoy the image to which it could legitimately lay claim. Air X’s reputation in France is rather weak, and the company’s image is still unclear. Repeated attacks by the major air carriers and lawsuits for unfair competition have added to the confusion.
Furthermore, the reputation of low-cost companies is that they mistreat their employees, providing minimal benefits – and some articles, including the one that appeared last May in the French periodical Alternatives Economiques, pick up that cliché, damaging the company’s image.
This unclear image, which suffers from a negative connotation, is paradoxical and dangerous.
Paradoxical in that Air X is attracting customers in droves. Air X sees a 30% increase in customers yearly, has a high fill factor and leads in on-time service in Europe.
Dangerous in that it may suggest to potential customers that Air X slashes prices at the expense of safety. And it may suggest to the business world that Air X’s success will be fleeting, because it's based on a fragile economic model.
Naturally, the competition eagerly passes these arguments on to the press.
So we must react with the drive to build a clear and lasting image over time.
