To celebrate the holiday season in a very special way, ground staff at London’s Luton Airport created the first ever fabulous light display inside the easyJet hangar, according to the media report.
The staff and a team of special effects artists built a gorgeous show from 850,000 choreographed light sequences from 1.5 miles of lights wrapped around an easyJet Airbus A320, which was also bordered by more holiday decorations inside the hangar.All this magic happened just in 24 hours of their attempt.
The lights were also set to a very celebratory remix of Tchaikovsky’s “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” from The Nutcracker.
The team was given four weeks to set up the sequences for the first-ever aircraft light show. The show was a part of the Luton airport’s 80th anniversary celebration,as reported.
The event was said to be the “world’s biggest ever light show involving an aircraft.” However, there’s no Guiness World Record for this very specific title till date.The light show was attended by families of the airport staff plus the children from Chantry Primary Academy and Whitefield Primary School.
“As we reach the end of our redevelopment — the largest in the airport’s 80-year history — we wanted to extend a huge thank you to staff and customers and give them a special Christmas gift,” airport operations director Neil Thompson told the press. “Our team were given just 24 hours to dress an entire aircraft hangar and easyJet A320 Airbus plane before guests were treated to a dramatic Christmas lights switch on.”
The project created for celebration was not only meant for a fun holiday event,but to celebrate the hard work of London Luton Airport workers as well, according to the media report. The growing airport is anticipating a increase in its annual passenger count to 18 million by 2020.
