Mega Air Transports Episode 6

Before lights out to start the Formula 1 season in Australia, Mega Air gets rare access behind the scenes at F1 team Haas as they rush to pack tonnes of cars and gear for air freighting. We roar back into Formula 1’s past as former world champion Kimi Raikkonen’s car flies to the Middle East and life-saving, temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals are given an almighty battering by the elements on a 6000 mile to Singapore.

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.
