Mega Air Transports Episode 1

Mega Air Transports Episode 1

It’s roses galore as Mega Air plunges into Amsterdam’s Valentines rush as millions of stems are flown in globally, then auctioned in a building the size of Monaco. A top-of-the-range, ground hugging track racing car gives Heathrow handlers the run-around. And a supervisor called Croc gets increasingly snappy during a last-minute East Midlands Airport runway repair.

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.
