Christopher Lee accepted his role chiefly because it allowed him to work with Jack Lemmon.
This was the only "Airport" film that did not have a real-life disaster happen to an aircraft used in the filming. The 707 used in filming Airport (1970) crashed in Brazil in 1989. The Beachcraft Baron that played the one that collided with the 747 in Airport 1975 (1974) collided with another private prop plane mid-air in 1989. The Concorde used in The Concorde...Airport '79 (1979) crashed outside of Paris in 2000, killing all one hundred seven people on-board and four people on the ground, leading to the end of the Concorde program.
According to Carl Johnes 1979 book 'Crawford: The Last Years', Joan Crawford was approached to play the role of Emily Livingston, but declined, later saying, "I wanted Joel McCrea to play opposite me, and anyway, they actually asked me to fly out there with only one week's notice. Why, that is hardly enough time for make-up tests or rehearsals, and when I asked about costume fittings, they said they wanted me to wear my own clothes."
When Joan Crawford declined to play Emily Livingston, Olivia de Havilland stepped in and played the part instead. Also, in 1964, Crawford had been replaced by de Havilland in Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964), after Joan became ill, and in 1962, when Crawford had accepted the role in Lady in a Cage (1964), and then later withdrew because the production stalled, her part was re-cast with de Havilland.
As was a practice at Universal Pictures for a brief period during the mid 1970s, a television version of the movie was made with a lot more footage included. This was also done for Universal's Earthquake (1974) and Two-Minute Warning (1976).
"Karen Wallace: Excuse me, I don't mean to intrude, but could you move your ass, dear?"
"Karen Wallace: We're us! We're us. That's your problem: you think everybody is us. Can't you forget about other people for once and think about yourself? Martin Wallace: Other people thinking about themselves got us down here in the first place, Karen. Karen Wallace: You've got a lot of brains, Martin, but you're not a smart man."
