SituationThe Qantas Airlines Case: Twitter Nosedive delves into the problems the airline has faced in recent years. These problems caused serious damage to Qantas Airlines when the company committed a social blunder by announcing a contest on Twitter which caused an unexpected outcry from the company's global customer base. For dissatisfied customers it was a great opportunity to express their opinion in public. The failed competition attracted a lot of attention, but not in the way Qantas had hoped. This negative opinion towards Qantas has spread exponentially, causing serious damage to the company's public image. These negative comments were due to the fact that the company suffered from many technical engine and aircraft problems related to the poor condition of the planes. These problems contributed to concerns with employee unions that led to strikes and ultimately the grounding of the airline fleet for several days. This resulted in thousands of stranded customers across the world. Due to this series of events, the company now faces challenges with a negative image in the eyes of the public.
