Manchester-based Title Role has produced a four-part documentary series with British Airways for Channel 5.
The first episode of ‘British Airways 24/7: Access All Areas’ airs on September 5th at 9pm and is narrated by James Nesbitt.
Filmed over a nine-month period, the series goes behind-the-scenes and gives viewers an insight into how the airline is investing £6.5bn for customers.
Alex Cruz, British Airways’ Chairman and CEO, said: “It’s fantastic that Channel 5 has been able to capture key moments in British Airways’ one hundredth year.
“The series opens the doors of our aircraft, engineering hangars and even boardroom, like never before, giving viewers a rare insight into the drive for transformation that informs everything we do, the investments we’re making for our customers and, most importantly, shines a light on the people who work day and night to keep our hugely complex global operation running, to bring Britain to the world and the world to Britain.”
Filmed at locations including Osaka, New York and Toulouse, the first episode sees Gavin Shearer, British Airways’ Aircraft Delivery Manager, at Boeing’s headquarters in Seattle as he prepares to purchase the airline’s 30th 787 Dreamliner.
Filming also captured the British Airways team as it prepared for a visit from The Queen at the airline’s headquarters to celebrate its 100th year of flying.
And viewers see British Airways’ food chiefs travel to Vienna to work with chefs from luxury hospitality company Do&Co on the airline’s multi-million pounds investment to develop dozens of new menus.
