Before writing his screenplay, Paddy Chayefsky visited network TV offices. He was surprised to learn that television executives did not watch much television. "The programmes they put on 'had to' be bad, had to be something they wouldn't watch," he remarked. "Imagine having to work like that all your life."
When broadcast on NBC-TV in September 1978, Airport ‘77 featured an additional 70 minutes of outtakes and new footage shot especially for network TV.
The surprising thing is 26% voted for airport 77
