Airborne
Airborne City in the Sky
We take flight for granted, but on any journey a hidden army of people keep your plane safe. We explore just what it takes to keep the ‘city in the sky’ airborne and passengers safe between take-off and landing.
About the Program
City in the Sky
At any one time, there are a million people airborne somewhere in the world. That equates to an entire airborne city - a city in the sky. So what does it take to run a "city" at 30,000 feet? In this series, we set off around the world to uncover the invisible global networks and complex logistics that make it all possible.
