How often does each airline post a new video?

Emirates is not as active on YouTube when compared to their other social media channels; Facebook and Twitter.  The last video posted by Emirates on YouTube was one month ago which is a video of a warm welcome to the country Dubai. They welcomed with fireworks symbolizing greetings to the people in Dubai and wishing them a Happy 2017 New Year.  
Etihad in comparison to Emirates is much more active on YouTube. The last video posted by Etihad on YouTube was one week ago which is a video of spending 48 hours in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), they were advertising and promoting one of their most famous trips/flights.



What kind of video content does each airline post?

Emirates posts a variety of different content on YouTube, such as – their latest services in-flight, meals, Dubai, promotions on Fly Emirates, commercials, deals, holiday packages, inflight features, Wi-Fi services on board, Emirates E-gate guest login, safety and rules.
Etihad also posts variety of content including; commercials of deals and new flights/aircrafts, services provided to VVIP members of Etihad, games, meals, automatic guest login system and lounge food/services.

Which are your two airlines most successful recent videos?

A recent Emirates video that became successful is a video titled “Jennifer Aniston TV commercial | A380 | Emirates Airline”.  The following video has a very famous Hollywood actress named Jennifer Aniston, who is flying the A380 with a little friend.

Why do you think these two videos were so successful? 

The Emirates video is successful because it is a video on how big a new aircraft is and how many features could it hold within it to not just keeping everyone in the flight satisfied but also keeping them happy, enjoyable and busy with a never ending entertainment on the longest trip also. Another reason it was very successful is that it is a TV commercial that was also shown on TV with a star (celebrity) hired for this TV commercial Jennifer.
The Etihad’s video is successful because it is a video on how anyone who didn’t ever travel on Etihad or even if they did travel on Etihad then how realistic could it feel to them and in what ways could they feel the experience of flight.
