Do you know what it takes to make one of the world’s busiest airports running? National Geographic Channel’s will put the focus on Dubai International Airport in a new 10-part series called Ultimate Airport Dubai, premiering next week.

From air traffic control handling emergency landings, customs intercepting suspected smugglers and engineers taking apart multi-million dollar jets to dealing with late flights and angry passengers, cargo headaches and even the construction of the $3.2 billion world’s first dedicated A380 facility, the show will take viewers on a behind-the-scenes journey of the facility, now on its way to becoming one of the largest air travel service providers in the world.

Catch Ultimate Airport Dubai on National Geographic at 8pm UAE on September 5. For daily show timings, go to natgeotv.com/me
