V KEY AUDIENCES
VI KEY MEDIA TARGETS
- COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM DIAGRAM
VII METHOD
VIII BUDGET .
APPENDIX I
- selected pan-European media
APPENDIX II
- Key audiences

I SITUATION
o ETS debate focussed within airline industry
o Airline senior executives are sole decision-makers
o Bans imposed for perceived commercial and
'mistaken' passenger benefit
o Airline passengers are non-participants in
'invisible comfort factors' debate

II NEED
. o Generate ETS debate among wider professional
audience, especially business travellers

III KEY MESSAGES
o ETS is only one of a number of components of cabin
air which may contribute to passenger discomfort
o Invisible comfort factors (eg, cabin air quality
and air circulation) are the real issues for
passengers, not visible comfort factors (e.g. the
minimal ETS levels in aircraft cabins)
o Adequate ventilation systems are critical for
passenger comfort
o Passenger surveys do not justify bans

IV STRATEGY
o Raise the awareness of invisible comfort issues
(ie, the low-grade cabin air quality provided by
aircraft ventilation systems) amongst passengers
and third parties
o Define, for the airlines, how to deal with the
issue of invisible comfort
o Position Philip Morris as spokesperson for the
smokers' point of view
o Develop basic communications materials to prompt
third-party interest in ETS and airline cabin
comfort debate
