Mega Air Transports Episode 5
Mega Air gets privileged access to the world’s biggest air package handling facility at UPS Worldport, which ingeniously sorts up to 2 million items per night for worldwide delivery. We hitch a ride on the red-eye mail plane shuttle providing a vital service to the Channel Islands. Britain’s busiest pure cargo airport is in full fire drill as firemen tackle a mock air freighter inferno and at Helsinki airport mystery freight provides a shocking outcome.
Mega Air celebrates the incredible 6 trillion-dollar air freight industry. Meeting the people and gasping at the mind-boggling items, transported in aircraft that beggar belief.
We witness, among others, the 36 hour delivery of salmon from the Norwegian arctic circle to Japan’s sushi restaurants, one of the biggest commercial satellites flown to its rocket launch site, 61 top class show jumpers destined for a premier Hong Kong event, the high octane rush to transport Formula 1 components to Australia and the jaw-dropping Valentines flowers daily air shuttle that fuels the world’s biggest flora auction in a building the size of Monaco!
As well, we see what it takes to run the UK’s largest pure cargo air-hub, East Midlands Airport; covering everything from major runway repairs to the surprisingly difficult challenge of keeping the airfield free of birds.
