Airline is a British and later, American television reality show that showcases the daily happenings of passengers, ground workers and on-board staff members of Britannia and later easyJet. The show has been shown since 1998 on ITV1 and on syndication on Sky Travel. From time to time, ITV shows the American version of Airline, which they call Airline USA.
The original series of the show followed Britannia Airways based at Manchester and London-Gatwick. The show was then narrated by Charlie Higson.
Since the second series was broadcast in 1999 the programme has been following the staff and passengers of easyJet, featured mainly at its hubs at Bristol, Liverpool John Lennon, London-Luton and Newcastle airports. However, it occasionally follows passengers with interesting or unusual stories to their final destinations. Tony Robinson replaced Charlie Higson as voiceover until 2000, when Veronika Hyks replaced him.
Celebrities who have been seen on the show include Nick Knowles, Ricky Tomlinson and the British pop group Bucks Fizz. Some celebrity look-a-like passengers include Sharon Stone and Sting.
