Legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott directs cinematic Turkish Airlines advert Acclaimed filmmaker Ridley Scott teamed up with Turkish Airlines to direct a cinematic short film set in Istanbul, where East and West meet. The Journey, the story of a chase across the city’s iconic landmarks, was shown at Super Bowl LIII on February 3rd. The Journey pays homage to the ancient city of Istanbul, which has been the airline’s hub for 85 years, and spans the continents of Europe and Asia. The 30-second commercial was featured in the first quarter of the most-watched sporting event on the global calendar, while the six-
minute short film version launched simultaneously via Turkish Airlines’ YouTube channel. “When viewers tuned into the Super Bowl on Sunday they were treated to a stunning portrayal of Istanbul in this thrilling film from Ridley Scott,” said M. İlker Aycı, Turkish Airlines’ Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee. “We invite travellers around the world to join us on our journey and experience true Turkish hospitality at our brand new home, Istanbul Airport.” Director and Producer Ridley Scott added, “Istanbul is an inspiring city to build a story
around with its beautiful topography surrounded by water. The city is a powerful backdrop to the story that brings together the main characters in an exciting and spectacular way, much as Istanbul has done for generations.” Flying to more countries than any other airline, Turkish Airlines currently connects 306 destinations in 124 countries, which will expand as it moves its hub from the current Istanbul Ataturk Airport to the newly-opened Istanbul Airport.
