The Airport: Back In The Skies
As Christmas approaches, Heathrow is hit hard by the effects of the Omicron variant. Jeremy meets an Irish nurse who has been working on Covid wards and is desperate to travel back to Dublin.
Jeremy finds out how air traffic controller Steph is acclimatising to increased plane traffic and tries his hand at ordering planes for take-off in the NATS simulator.
It’s November, and Heathrow’s most lucrative US routes are opening up to vaccinated passengers. Out on the apron, excitement is in the air as two aircraft prepare for a historic dual take-off.
Jeremy discovers that while most airlines were grounded by Covid, some have emerged from the pandemic as success stories. He also looks at attempts to reduce aircraft emissions.
Jeremy arrives in Heathrow to find the airport decimated by Covid-19. He helps to prepare a Boeing 787 bound for Delhi and meets the Australian residents desperate to return home.
