SKETCH COMEDY

pigeon airlines

The airplane is the most popular and comfortable means of transportation. How many of us have flown at least once? But events in the cockpit remain a mystery to most. Pigeon Airlines is a mini sitcom that reveals what goes on in the cockpit during those long hours of flight.

The lead characters are Captain Enrico Gasparini and his co-pilot Max Conti, employees of Pigeon Airlines, a low-cost company owned by Mister ‘Slave driver’ Piccione. Enrico’s Milanese fastidiousness and conceit put together with Max’s Roman carelessness and traditional beliefs act as the spark that triggers comic situations bordering on the absurd and surreal. They will be accompanied on their long-distance flights by lovely, airheaded Josephine and war-veteran Silvana.
