National Geographic Channels International (NGCI) has announced the commission of Ultimate Airport Dubai season two from Arrow Media. Ultimate Airport Dubai will air its new 10-part season later this year on National Geographic Channel in 170 countries and 45 languages.
In Ultimate Airport Dubai, NGCI goes behind-the-scenes of Dubai International, the worlds second busiest airport for international passengers. With unprecedented access to all facets of this mega facility, the series follows some of the 60,000 staff working hard to keep it safe, secure, and on schedule. Season two follows the renovation of both the airports runways a tricky enterprise that has the airport operating using only one runway for several months with huge pressure to finish the build on time. The series will be at the heart of passenger operations, customs, the control tower and flight services to see how the teams cope during a particularly stressful and demanding time.
Ultimate Airport Dubai is a great hit for us, which rated in all markets. The show offers a fantastic blend of airport docu-soap and mega engineering show all set against the backdrop of a highly modern, 21st century city filled with exciting innovation. The high level of access, which the production team secured makes this show different and we are delighted to have it back in our schedules, said Hamish Mykura, Executive Vice President and Head of International Content.
John Smithson, Creative Director, Arrow Media, said: We were thrilled to secure exclusive access to the one of the worlds fastest growing airports. The success of series one demonstrates the audiences interest in compelling stories played out against this unique backdrop. Dubai is rapidly becoming the crossroads of the world and soon will outstrip Heathrow to become the worlds busiest international airport. Its a fantastic creative opportunity with a compelling mixture of human interest and fascinating detail about the 24/7 operation of this remarkable place. We are delighted to have brought to NGCI such a global hit.
