London International Airport prepares for second filming this month

London International Airport prepares for second filming this month

Sunday, April 30, 2023 09:39:57 AM UTC

Travellers flying through London International Airport will find themselves in the midst of another film shoot this week.

"It's a larger production company that reached out," said Andrew Dodd, manager of London Film, an office with the London Economic Development Corporation.

While he's unable to share production details, he said flyers will likely spot signage for a different city as the airport doubles for another location.

Last week, a production company transformed the airport into a winter wonderland for a TV series.

"It's a little confusing, but we have a lot of staff in place to make sure passengers know where they're going," said Gerry Vanderhoek, director of commercial and air services at London's airport.

"You see a lot of people getting into the festive spirit, it seems very joyous," he said.

Travellers checked in at what resembled Charlotte Douglas International Airport in Charlotte, N.C., then found themselves at John F. Kennedy International in New York and Chicago O'Hare International after clearing security.

"It's three places in the world," he said.

London airport is considered smaller in size but has the features of a larger airport, said Vanderhoek.

"We have the all of the same features, like aircraft loading bridges, and expansive hold room, baggage belts," he said. "So they're able to film in multiple locations and make it look like a big airport."

Dodd says the next production company is one he's worked with in the past.

"The location manager reached out to me personally, which indicated Film London is getting noticed among the film industry in Toronto, London and beyond," he said.
