The Turkish Airlines commercial was first aired during the most-watched show in U.S. TV history, Super Bowl, the final game of the National Football Team (NFL) on February 5th. Featuring Morgan Freeman, the commercial film was directed by the director Matthias Zentner and shot in Los Angeles in a period of 10 hours with a crew of 101 people.
Besides the Super Bowl, the ad campaign with Morgan Freeman will be broadcasted in every destination Turkish Airlines fly to worldwide.
Morgan Freeman said, “As a licensed pilot, I have had a special interest in flying, and I know Turkish Airlines is consistently awarded for its unique offerings and innovative services that continue to score resounding successes. Besides, it has amazingly delicious onboard and lounge catering. It’s an honor to work with such a prestigious airline that flies to more countries than any other airline in the world.”
M. Ilker Ayci, Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee of Turkish Airlines said: “Our new ad campaign with Morgan Freeman has already been a smash hit. We value our deal with Freeman for his contribution to our global image and brand awareness.”
