The movie "Airplane!, while containing scenes similar to ones in the various Airport movies, is actually a more direct parody of the movie "Zero Hour!"

Notice the use of the exclamation point in both titles. Since the studio that made Airplane! held the rights to Zero Hour!, ZAZ was able to copy characters and a lot of the dialogue directly into their own movie.

The movie Zero Hour! was novelized in the US as "Runway Zero Eight".
