A closed runway at Bristol Airport has the potential to cause absolute chaos. Subscribe to Our Stories: https://bit.ly/3lzSXhv

Documentary series about Bristol Airport. Serving the whole of the South West of England, it is used by over four million passengers a year.

The RAF display team The Red Arrows are going to be performing at Weston-super-Mare so the main runway at Bristol International Airport needs to be closed for half an hour. Any aircraft which hasn't left by the time the display starts could be delayed. A flight to Cyprus needs to use the main runway because it has a full load of fuel and passengers, but it was delayed on arrival at Bristol and has a race against time to get off the ground before the runway is closed.
