Who the hell is handling social media in Aer Lingus?

They have a youtube account called 'aerlingus1' - seriously? They couldn't even come up with flyaerlingus or aerlingusdotcom?

They have no Twit*er, LinkedIn, or Facebook account. None of which cost anything to setup and maintain. Twit*er and Facebook can be used to provide customer support, and Facebook in particular is a great and proven way to increase brand awareness as well as promote sales. LinkedIn is a great way to connect to the business community and promote your product offering, as BA have successfully done, and can also act as a great recruiting tool.

For an airline that's making such an effort to increase mobile accessibility, I can't get over how much they've ignored social media.

If you want an example of great marketing, look no further than easyJet and BA. They know how to do it.
