The names of airlines company, Air Asia is a privately owned company in Indonesia such as Sempati Air, Boraq, Mandala, and Malaysia Airlines is a state-owned airline Adam Air and many others are now just memories. In allegedly influencing the response shown by both Australia, Ansett, for example, as number two of the companies. The interesting thing is also to compare largest company after Qantas, also failed to manage these two accidents happened at the adjacent time. its crisis, so it is now only a historical record Media coverage in crisis situations can influence (McDonald, 2005). In India, Kingfisher Airlines stakeholder views on AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines suffered a loss of about 1.5 billion dollars, causing reputation. After all, stakeholders interact with the employees to strike and forced to reduce the media in their daily lives and each media is entitled operation of its fleet (voaindonesia.com, 2012). to determine any information that will be consumed Similar financial crisis is also experienced by British by the public. It is therefore important for both Airways and United Airlines (kompas.com, 2008 organizations to communicate to the media about the and viva.co.id, 2010). organizational attitudes and crisis communication The International Air Transport Association measures that are or have been done. Other internal (IATA) reports that there are 12 fatal aviation information sources such as organizational owner accidents with 641 deaths during 2014. This figure is statements, internal documents, fact sheets usually lower than the five-year period (2009-2013) which also appear on the website as supporting data. The reached 19 fatal accidents with 517 deaths per year research wants to see how the crisis communications (IATA, 2014). Although the level of having lost strategy carried out by AirAsia and Malaysia control in-flight decreased to 6 accidents by 2014, Airlines through the use of press releases. This this figure is worth considering. The three main information is a source of news for the media in causes of plane crashes by Airplane Crash Statistic constructing the news. 2016 are pilot error (53%), mechanical failure (20%) Taylor and Perry (2005) revealed that more than and weather (12%) (Statistic Brain Research 80% of organizations experiencing crisis upload Institute, 2016). news release as a source of information through their AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines are the two official website. This high percentage indicates that Malaysian airlines that experienced a crisis in 2014. the press release is still the preferred communication The plane that crashed was AirAsia with flight code tactic favored by the organization.

No survived in strategies used by AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines the two accidents. following the aircraft crashes through press releases Both accidents have come under intense scrutiny on airasia.com and malaysiaairlines.com sites for the by local and international media over the past two period of December 28, 2014 - March 4, 2015 and years. Some media are also interested to compare March 8, 2014 - August 6, 2015. both cases of accidents due to the value of the proximity to time or type of accident. The case of Theoretical Framework AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines which at first sight Research on crisis communications strategies seem identical to have differences in the causes of comes in many variations. The variation can be in the accidents and public reaction caused (Cbsnews.com, type of case raised and the method used. The 2014). The daily.com article also stated that AirAsia comparative content analysis of the British with its CEO Tonny Fernandes responded more Petroleum (BP) and Tokyo Electric Power Company quickly in response to the crisis than Malaysia (TEPCO) communications strategy by Abramenka Airlines (Allen, 2015).

The two main theories used to dissect threats posed by a crisis. The adverse impact of the the case are the theme of crisis messages (trust, crisis on reputation leads management to the collaboration, commitment and interactivity) and selection of communication strategies to respond to crisis response strategies which is Situational Crisis crises (Coombs, 2006: 243). The threat of reputation Communication Theory (denial, diminish, rebuild is defined as how much damage the crisis brings if and bolstering). The results of this study indicate that the organization does not take action to respond to BP predominantly emphasizes its commitment to the crisis. Reputation threats can be caused by initial overcome the crisis that occurs while TEPCO often crisis responsibility, crisis history and reputation uses more on combination of message commitment before a crisis. and collaboration. In addition, it can be seen that SCCT has developed a crisis assessment system some of the press releases issued by both consisting of two stages: assessment of the type of organizations contain apology message strategy and crisis and the threat of crisis to reputation (Coomb, commitment to minimize the impact of the crisis as 2007). This type of crisis is divided into three soon as possible. clusters: (1) victim, which is the type of crisis in Analysis of the content of crisis communication which the organization becomes the victim of crisis strategies has also been made to the financial crisis such as natural disaster, rumors, workplace violence, of General Motors (GM) with SCCT from Coomb as malevolence toward the organization; (2) accidental, the basic framework of the theory.
