Delta Air Lines

Delta Air Lines wanted to make a grand presentation. The airline wanted to notify the public that there was a new Delta and that this new airline was emerging from bankruptcy. BlaCon Media was contacted to assist with this world wide announcement. Delta explained that they wanted to provide content to 12 of their domestic locations and two international locations that included Santiago, Chile and London, England.

BlaCon Media worked to secure crews, satellite trucks, satellite space and viewing stations in each location. BlaCon had to work with each airport’s security team, the FAA and other officials for access. There were several first during this event. It was the first time a satellite truck had actually rolled across the tarmac at New York’s LaGuardia. It was the first time that the reservation monitors in Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson airport had been commandeered to show a live broadcast.

We worked with a production company to convert an airplane hangar into a production facility that would serve as broadcast center and at the same time house 4000 excited employees. It was also necessary to roll in a tractor trailer size production truck and two satellite trucks.

This successful event allowed us to demonstrate our operations, coordination, production, engineering, pre-production, post production, management and administrative skills. This successful production lead to us being the broadcast engineering firm of note for Delta Air lines for several years. We went on to produce town hall meetings, the CEO change announcement, Delta’s relisting on the New York stock exchange and numerous other events.
