Red Arrows Close Runway as Pilots Race to Take off In Time | Airport Story S1 E2 | Our Stories

It’s a big day at Bristol International Airport as the RAF Red Arrows perform at Weston-super-Mare — but their display means the main runway must close for half an hour. With just minutes to spare, one flight to Cyprus is delayed on arrival and faces a race against time to get off the ground before the runway shuts. Meanwhile, airside safety officer Jim Callaway deals with an unexpected challenge — a family of hares living dangerously close to the runway. As the Red Arrows soar overhead, the airport teams below keep everything running smoothly — from humane hare relocation to a heartwarming drawing competition on board a First Choice flight raising money for charity.
