A terrestrial broadcasting station in Taiwan is discussing a passenger plane accident of China Eastern Airlines using a passenger plane model of Asiana Airlines. Asiana Airlines immediately protested, and the broadcast was closed to the public on YouTube and elsewhere.
On the 22nd, Taiwan terrestrial broadcasting station FTV aired a news program dealing with the crash of an aircraft in the eastern part of China. Former passenger plane operator A brought out a model of a passenger plane to explain the defective part of the accident plane in the broadcast on that day.
However, in the process of explaining the defect of the aircraft, Mr. A used a passenger aircraft model of Korean Asiana Airlines, which has nothing to do with this Touhou aircraft accident. The English logo of “Asiana Airlines” was written on the front of the aircraft model that Mr. A got, and the tail wing had a colorful pattern of the Asiana Airlines symbol and the Taegeuk flag.
This scene got on the radio wave as it was, and the net users who saw it shared the contents of the broadcast with the online community and criticized this broadcasting station.
Internet users criticized the broadcasting station, saying, “Should I do it like that?”, “Bold”, and “Damage not only the corporate image but also the obvious image of the country.”
Asiana Airlines also confirmed the broadcast and immediately protested once morest FTV. After that, the program was closed to the public on YouTube.
