Shooting overlapped somewhat with the tail end of production on Universal Pictures' Earthquake (1974), forcing Charlton Heston, George Kennedy, cinematographer Philip H. Lathrop, and producer Jennings Lang to juggle their schedules between the 2 films. This film was released first.
Joe Patroni (George Kennedy) appeared in all four "Airport" movies.
In his book journal "The Actor's Life", Charlton Heston relates that he had begun working on this movie only fifteen hours after he had finished the final shot on Earthquake (1974).
Gloria Swanson wrote all her own dialogue. She also delivered the last line of the film. This was her first movie in twenty-two years. She explained, "I was holding out for a picture I could take my grandchildren to see, something exciting and contemporary without senseless violence."
This was Gloria Swanson's final film before her death on April 4, 1983 at the age of 84.
"Bill: This thing will never get off the ground. Never fly. Take my word for it. Gloria Swanson: Young man, you think this thing will not fly? In 1917 I was flying in something wilder than this. Do you know who the pilot was? Bill: Wiley Post? Gloria Swanson: [Chuckles] No. Cecil B. De Mille and we flew from Hollywood nonstop to Pasadena. Yes, and on the way home we did loop the loops so I could see the moon upside down."
"Oringer: Is there much damage? Joe Patroni: No, not much, theres just a hole where the pilots usually sit."
