In this fascinating documentary we meet the people responsible for the smooth running of a major international airport.

These people, whatever the weather, are responsible for making sure planes arrive and depart on time.

In this episode, it's the start of another busy day at Bristol Airport. The airport fire team gets down to some serious training and Claire Barbier from British Airways awaits her first solo flight.
