The 4K remaster brings Airport to life with impressive clarity and depth. HDR enhances snowy exteriors, runway lighting, and cockpit interiors with excellent contrast and color balance. Fine detail in costumes, sets, and aircraft interiors is crisp and cinematic. Film grain is natural and consistent, delivering a true theatrical feel. The upgrade over previous Blu-ray editions is substantial, especially in shadow and highlight detail.

The DTS-HD 5.1 mix expands the disaster-movie atmosphere, with strong separation in environmental sounds and score, while dialogue stays clear and centered. The 2.0 stereo track preserves the original theatrical mix for purists. The sound design maintains impact during tense sequences, particularly in the storm and midair scenes.
