“It’s an amazing and exciting book. After starting, you won’t be able to stop reading. Plot grabs you without you realize it.”Beatriz Caballero, The Times.

“Airport is a brilliant book which will leave you breathless. This book should wear a medical advice: “Don’t read, unless you have a healthy heart”. Trust me when I say you will be looking forward to know the final stand. You won’t stop until the end. “Eva Hernández, El País

“Perhaps Arthur Hailey didn’t know, but when he wrote Airport, he started a new literary and film genre: disaster books/movies. Should we thank him? It’s true, we can put the blame on him for all the bad times we have spent in cinemas, but on the other hand, the final joy explosion is worth. He deserves a place in writer’s hall of fame. ”Andrés Alonso, Que leer.
