Abstract:
This research aimed to investigate the communication of an image of in-flight services through television commercials of Thai Airways International Public Company Limited and to study approaches for the creation of its image of in-flight services. The research emphasized the analysis of the screenplays of 7 TV commercials launched from 2009 to 2019. Data were collected from interviews with two key informants who were in the circle of the production of the TV commercials of the airline. The research found that the TV commercials embraced 5 images: Thai identity and uniqueness, service from the heart, modernity and comfort, full-service airline, and safety orientation.
The approaches for the creation of an image of in-flight services included the understanding of consumer behaviour, the presentation of the airline identity and uniqueness, the presentation of valid information that meets current situations, and the determination of presenters roles.
