Extreme Airport Africa

June 4

Thursdays 19h25

Repeat: Friday 11h45

In the wilds of Southern Africa, aviation takes over where roads don’t go. Extreme Airport Africa brings you into the world of high-octane, high-risk bush flying where pilots brave rough runways, wild fi res and wild animals.

Go behind the scenes at Southern Africa’s major airports, into the cockpits of airliners and heavy lift helicopters, and over the wilds of Kruger National Park and the Okavango Delta. Out in the bush, scientists take to the air to search for lost elephants and pilots land on dirt airstrips while baboons invade.

Even in Johannesburg, the main aviation hub for Southern Africa, nature still makes its presence felt, as staff battle flocks of birds overrunning the runways and pilots fly through some of the most intense storms in the world. Aviation doesn’t get any more intense than this.
