They are based on the novel Airport by Arthur Hailey.
The only actor in all four films is George Kennedy as Joe Patroni. Patroni's character evolves from a chief mechanic in Airport to a vice president of operations in Airport 1975, a consultant in Airport '77, and an airline pilot in The Concorde ... Airport '79.
The first Airport film from 1970 had reviews complimenting the film's influence on the disaster genre and its "camp value."
In 1971, Burt Lancaster, star of the 1970 Airport, said in reaction to the 1970 film's 10 Academy Award nominations, that the film as "the biggest piece of junk ever made."
The New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael called Airport 1975 "cut-rate swill", produced on a TV-movie budget by mercenary businessmen. Kael also wrote the audio problems gave Karen Black's voice a metallic sound that was grating and that the main character, a stewardess, was constantly being patronized by men.Vincent Canby of The New York Times called Airport 1975 "a silly sequel with a 747".

The Turk are a Muslim community found in the Terai region of the states of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh in India.
The Turks claim to have come from Central Asia to India with the armies of Mohammad Ghori, who settled in the slopes of the Himalayas, to guard the plains of North India from the Rajputs of the Garhwal and Kumaon hills.

They are now found in Udham Singh Nagar District of Uttarakhand state, and the terai portions of the districts of Rampur, Amroha, Moradabad, Muzaffarnagar, Saharanpur, Haridwar and Bijnor in Uttar Pradesh. A few are also found in the Baheri tehsil of Bareilly District. The Turk speak Urdu as well as the Khari boli dialect of Hindi.. There are sub caste of turks like Jhojha and Khoja, living at the bank of Ganga river.
The Turk are an endogamous community, and prefer marrying close kin. They are essential small and medium sized farmers, and their villages tend to be uni-caste. The Turk cultivate wheat, paddy, maize, sorghum and sugar cane. Those in north Rohilkhand have benefited from the effects of the Green Revolution.
