Activities

In July 2009 in Italy a controversy about the usage of regional dialects exploded and caught media attention for many months. Aida Partners suggested easyJet to distribute a press release saying that the Company was considering to introduce different italian dialects onboard for cabin crew announcements. The press release was sent with 2 mp3 files, one with an example in Milanese dialect and another in Neapolitan dialect.
