Heathrow's Terminal 5 has been turned into T-Mobile 5 for the mobile phone giant's latest flashmob television advert.
The world's busiest airport is playing host to 300 singers and dancers as part of T-Mobile's latest advert - which sees guerrilla dance and singing routines performed in front of passengers before being broadcast just 48 hours later.
To celebrate the fact that Heathrow plays host to more hellos and goodbyes than any other destination, Aretha Franklin's 'Knew You Were Waiting' is set to belt out over the PA system while British Airways passengers get to enjoy the spectacle.
Nick Cullen, Heathrow's chief operating officer, said:
"Heathrow is at the heart of world travel - bringing thousands of people together every day. London has much to thank multiculturalism for and it's air travel that has made much of this possible. We're delighted that T-Mobile's spectacular homecoming will capture the spirit of Terminal 5 and keen to see just what the finished article looks like on Friday."
Editors notes
- Over 180,000 passengers travel through Heathrow every day.
- Heathrow flies to 185 destinations in 91 different countries.
- The advert will air Friday 29 October at 22:10 across 86 digital and terrestrial commercial TV channels.
