Austrian Airlines departs from Musk’s X, citing platform concerns

Share

Austrian Airlines has announced its decision to leave Elon Musk’s social media platform X (formerly Twitter), citing issues with “the increasing spread of hate, agitation, and disinformation.” This content, according to the airline, clashes with its values and commitment to responsible communication.

Going forward, Austrian Airlines plans to enhance its presence on other platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok, where it believes it can better uphold its standards for engaging with passengers. The airline assures travellers that these channels will provide consistent updates, service information, and a safer online experience.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
