Mega Air Transports
Mega Air follows the challenging journey of a 55-million-dollar batch of cancer pharmaceuticals, from Northern Ireland to Heathrow, for a flight to the US. An East Midlands Airport wildlife officer gets into a flap trying to scare birds from his runway. Two gigantic stone crushing machines, destined for an African mine, threaten to crush the monster Antonov 124 air freighter. We travel with a pushback driver at one of America’s busiest cargo airports.
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.
