Airports Using Twitter

We've finished our 1Q2013 survey and released our updated list of Airports using Twitter. It continues to grow and more airports see their followers increase, as customers turn to this social media channel for up to date and timely information. Overall, airports using social media continue to increase and now numbers are 500+ (including both Twitter and Facebook).

We'd like to thank the airport community at large for their recommendations and updates. Twitter Followers continue to grow in numbers quite significantly. This reflects the need for information as a result of flight disruptions due to such things as weather or industrial action.

As more airports integrate social media into their overall marketing strategy, travelers increasingly are turning to airports using social media as a means to communicate both requests and to ask about information about upcoming flights.As yet, airports are now viewed as a 'trusted' sources of information, an important responsibility. We're pleased to see that many airports and 3rd parties are now using our list to propagate the airport Twitter community. Of course, the press articles for "Airports using Twitter" keeps growing, as evidenced by our growing Media Mentions section.

In our survey, we now include an airport's country, which shows the wide geographic use of Twitter by airports and this continues to increase. We have added a new category, Airports Groups, that, is a group of airports either regionally or nationally, that use a common Twitter name. You'll find these without the main list. We've also changed the list to categorize airports by country.

Here's our current list of airports using Twitter, at least what's been located so far. We've no doubt missed a few, so if you have some changes, additions or corrections - let us know as we will work to keep it current.
