  • Use of Social Media by Airports
    JAIRM, 2012 – 2(2), 67-85 Online ISSN: 2014-4806 - Print ISSN: 2014-4865 http://dx.doi.org/10.3926/jairm.9 Use of social media by airports Nigel Halpern Molde University College – Specialized University in Logistics (Norway) [email protected] Received July, 2012 Accepted September, 2012 Abstract Purpose: This study investigates use of social media by airports according to geographical location of the airport, airport size, and airport ownership and operation. Design/methodology/approach: The study is based on a content analysis of airport websites. The sample consists of 1559 airports worldwide that are members of Airports Council International (ACI). Findings: Almost one-fifth of airports use at least one type of social media; 13% use Facebook, 12% use Twitter, 7% use LinkedIn and 4% use YouTube. There is a greater use of social media by airports in North America and Europe, by larger airports, and by airports that are owned and operated by private interests. Originality/value: This study determines how widespread the use of social media is by airports. The degree to which airports and their customers actually use social media is also determined. Researchers can use the approach and findings of this study as a basis for investigating trends over time. Airport managers can use the findings to inform their own social media decisions. Keywords: Airports, marketing communications, social media 67 Journal of Airline and Airport Management 2(2), 67-85 1. Introduction Airports are increasingly embracing social media as a means of communication (Twentyman, 2010) and there are now numerous examples of airports offering the opportunity to ‘Like’ them on Facebook, ‘Follow’ them on Twitter and ‘View’ videos and photos about them on YouTube and Flickr.

  • The Rise of Late-Stage Funding for European Technology Scale-Ups
    Blooming Late: The rise of late-stage funding for European technology scale-ups NOVEMBER 2019 Introduction Europe’s technology industry continues to grow up. Across the EU, Israel, Russia and Turkey, startup ecosystems are flourishing, expanding and - in a few places - maturing into veritable world-class hotbeds for innovation. Evidently, challenges remain and Europe will have to overcome many of them to even have a chance of staying competitive in an ever-evolving world - and with haste to boot. To continue scaling up and accelerate the maturation process of its key tech hubs, Europe has to play to its strengths and eliminate some of its inherent weaknesses to mitigate the risk of getting left behind. Two of these weaknesses have historically been the lack of major exits and late-stage financing rounds (€100 million and more) for Europe’s fastest-growing tech businesses as catalysts for growth. As we’ve detailed in previous reports on the influx of capital for Europe’s finest tech startups, there has been a tremendous increase in investment volume for early-stage and growth-stage companies in recent years, with no signs of a slowdown so far. Numbers only tell part of a story, but the rise in seed and growth capital (Series A-B-C) flowing to European tech businesses across the region paints a picture of a healthy collection of ecosystems with potential for further growth. But when it comes to really big rounds of financing, Europe hasn’t really seen many of those to date, certainly not in comparison to the US and, increasingly, China.
