Turkish Airlines, winner of the Skytrax “Best Airline in Europe” award for the past six years, has debuted its new commercial starring Oscar winner, and the man with arguably the smoothest voice on the planet, Morgan Freeman.
The commercial was directed by the famous director, Matthias Zentner. Shot in Los Angeles in a period of 10 hours with a crew of 101 people. The commercial will be aired to hundreds of millions of people, across four continents.
The actor, who famously played Mandela in the movie Invictus 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 on-board 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.”
Commenting on the partnership between Freeman and Turkish Airlines, M. Ilker Ayci, Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee of Turkish Airlines said “We not only fly to more countries than any other airline in the world, but also invest in passenger experience at every destination we reach. In line with our global growth strategy, we will continue at full speed to launch new flight destinations. We are committed to innovation and we always aim for the best. We value our deal with Freeman for his contribution to our global image and brand awareness.”
This campaign follows the massively successful “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”, campaign from last year, starring world famous figures like Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Jesse Eisenberg, as well as the “Kobe vs. Messi: The Selfie Shootout.
The ad campaign with Morgan Freeman will be broadcast in every destination Turkish Airlines flies to worldwide. You can follow the campaign on our YouTube channel link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_gv6fRejLM
