ÖZ: 21 yüzyıldaki en hızlı değişim ve eğilim sosyal medya kullanımı olmuştur.Sosyal platformların ve ağların Web 2.0 tabanı üzerine kurulması ile insanoğlunun iletişimi için beklenmedik ve umulmayan bir oluşum meydana getirmiştir. Yürütülen bilimsel araştırmalar marka güveni ve satın almaya niyet arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Fakat, havacılık sektöründe reklâmın geleneksel ve sosyal medya üzerine etkisini inceleyen araştırmalara nadirdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı geleneksel ve sosyal medyanın müşterilerin markaya olan güveni ve satın alma niyetine etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmamız dünyadaki iki büyük havayolu olan Delta havayolları ile Türk havayolları müşterilerinin geleneksel ve modern reklamcılığın marka güveni ile satın alma niyeti üzerine etkilerini incelemiştir. Delta havayolları müşterilerine Amerika Birleşik Devletlerinde, Türk havayolların müşterilerine ise Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyetinde sorular sorulmuştur. Her iki ülkede toplam 287 kişiden alınan cevaplar analize tabi tutulabilmiştir. İstatistiksel analizler AMOS 22.0 ve SEM kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuncunda sosyal medyada (facebook) marka takipçileri için marka değerlendirmesinde önemi olan güveni etkilediği sonucuna varılmıştır. Dolayısı ile, markaya olan güvenin satın alma niyetini etkilediği bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Ortaya çıkan bu bulgu ise bize Facebook‟taki güncellemelerin marka değerlendirmesini olumlu yönde etkilyeceğini göstermektedir. Çalışmada oluşturulan kavramsal model, yapısal eşitlik modellemesi ile test edilmiş ve reklam ile sosyal medyanın markaya olan güven üzerine önemli etkisi olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca, markaya olan güven, satın alma niyetini etkiliediği görülmüştür. Anahtar Kelimeler: Sosyal medya, Facebook, Marka güven, satın alma niyeti, Çevrim içi reklamcılık.
