Airport 24/7 is back on the tarmac this Thursday with a new episode that’s all about controlled chaos. Trouble Shooters, airing at 7:30 PM AEST on 10, takes viewers inside the daily grind at Melbourne Airport – where 35 million passengers and thousands of flights create a non-stop logistical puzzle.
Narrated by The Project’s Susie Youssef, the series gets up close and personal with the people who keep one of Australia’s busiest airports running. This week’s installment delivers a trifecta of tarmac drama: a collision that snarls passenger traffic and puts emergency response teams to the test, a contraband bust by eagle-eyed Border Force agents, and the unexpected arrival of a mystery plane that leaves authorities scrambling.
The series thrives on its you-are-there immediacy, capturing the split-second decisions and quick thinking required to manage everything from routine baggage handling to full-blown security alerts. Whether it’s air traffic control coordinating a crowded airspace or customs officers sniffing out illicit goods, Airport 24/7 finds the human stories within the sprawling airport ecosystem.
If the first episode was an introduction to Melbourne’s bustling terminals, Trouble Shooters turns up the heat, revealing the constant, high-wire act of keeping an airport this size in the air—literally.
Airport 24/7 airs Thursday, 12 June at 7:30 PM AEST on Network 10.
