Major Storm Delays Cause Chaos In Bristol | Airport Story | S1 E1 | Our Stories

t’s the annual Bristol Balloon Fiesta, and 120 hot air balloons are preparing to take to the skies — right next to Bristol International Airport. As the balloons lift off, air traffic control faces a major challenge: the balloons don’t appear on radar, and they’re drifting dangerously close to the runway. With limited communication and a jet preparing to land, controllers must act fast to keep everyone safe. Meanwhile, the airport’s safety officer continues his humane hare relocation mission, and an aircraft marshaller gives an inside look at his job — and his surprising secret talent off the runway. It’s another unpredictable day at Bristol Airport.
