P&C Global Practices: Corporate Performance, Digital Transformation, Strategy & Innovation
Revolutionizing Airline Safety Communications & Promoting Tourism
P&C Global partnered with a globally recognized airline to revolutionize its in-flight safety communications, transforming a regulatory requirement into an immersive brand experience that enhances passenger engagement while promoting tourism throughout France. Released in February 2021, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the initiative sought to inspire travelers by showcasing France’s most stunning destinations while reinforcing essential safety protocols.
This engagement focused on optimizing safety communication, elevating passenger retention of key protocols, and leveraging multi-platform integration to enhance regulatory compliance while strengthening brand differentiation. As part of the initiative, P&C Global collaborated with the client to produce a visually compelling safety video that not only captivated audiences but also highlighted France’s cultural and scenic beauty, encouraging future travel.
The Safety Communication Challenge
Traditional in-flight safety demonstrations often struggle to engage passengers, leading to decreased retention of vital safety instructions. The airline faced several key challenges in ensuring safety messaging was effectively communicated while also leveraging the video as a tool to inspire tourism during a challenging time for the industry:
- Low Engagement Levels: Passengers frequently disregarded safety briefings, reducing awareness of crucial procedures.
- Regulatory Compliance Needs: Aviation authorities mandated clear and accessible safety instructions, necessitating both precision and accessibility in communication.
- Brand & Tourism Alignment: The airline sought to differentiate itself by embedding its cultural identity and premium positioning into the safety video while promoting France as a desirable destination.
- Multi-Platform Accessibility: Safety messaging needed to be extended beyond in-flight viewing to pre-flight digital touchpoints for broader awareness and global tourism promotion.
To address these challenges, the airline engaged P&C Global to redesign its safety communications strategy and enhance the effectiveness of in-flight safety demonstrations while integrating France’s iconic locations to reinforce the nation’s appeal as a travel destination.
