WestJet Fan Pages

If a brand has high brand equity and people think great things about your brand they may start fan pages about it on all sorts of different social media sites. Today we will be looking at a few of WestJets fan made pages and seeing what type of content they post, and what they are saying about the airline.

The first fan page was created on Facebook and is called “WestJetters who love their job and are proud to say so!”.  This is a public Facebook group that people who worked for WestJet or currently work for WestJet can post about the things they love about the company. Here you can find photographs and videos about new innovative things happening in their industry of work that interest them. You can also find posts from individuals telling their own story about a great experience they had flying/working for WestJet.

The second fan page that is related to WestJet would be one of their flight attendants twitter pages. Instead of using twitter in a more personal way, this flight attendant uses it to share things going on in the industry, share things posted by WestJet and raise awareness for the company. Her twitter handle is @Soxchicky. Cindy frequently posts about how much she loves her job and loves to travel and posts photographs strictly from on the job, whether it’s a new plane or her and some coworkers performing WestJet Christmas Miracles.

Porter And Their Fan Pages

Airlines and Fan Pages don’t necessarily go hand in hand, but they can at times be useful for consumers to share their experiences and gripes. Porter has verified accounts all across the social media board. With the fact Porter is still a relatively small company so it should be no surprise there aren’t a large amount of fan pages.

On facebook, there is a Porter Airlines page that is a Personal Page where you request them as a friend. Once you are friends with them there are a plethora of people expressing their opinions on the page.




Porter has no “fan pages” on twitter, however they do have a large amount of people tweeting about them both positively and negatively. Twitter is a great way for people to share their experience with the company and to possibly be recognized. Below is an example of two positive & negative tweets.



Last but not least Instagram, again following the trend there aren’t many fan pages. Most of the pages with Porter Airlines in the title appear just to be people who have the Instagram handle & use a version of Porter’s logo & branding.
