Anns an t- sreath-sa tha sinn a' faighinn a-mach dè a tha a' dol air adhart air cùl ghnothaichean aig puirt-adhair na Gàidhealtachd is nan Eilean tro shùilean an fheadhainn a tha ag obair annta. An t-seachdain-sa, tha Shonnie MacAoidh an ceann làraidh a' chonnaidh aig port-adhair Beinn na Faoghla, ach tha barrachd itealain is heileacoptairean a' tighinn a-steach na bha an dùil, agus tha e a' fàs gann.

Am bi gu leòr aige gus an tig an làraidh-connaidh à tìr-mòr? Aig port-adhair Sumburgh ann an Sealtainn, tha Avril Irvine ag obair aig an deasg-siubhail còmhla ri Sandra Moore. Tha droch shìde ann, agus tha luchd-obrach na h-ola a-nis a' siubhal gu Sumburgh gus am faigh iad dhachaigh, ach tha fear air a dhol a dhìth. Tha luchd-smàlaidh Shealtainn a' cur ruaig air na h-eòin, agus tha iad a' dol gu muir airson eacarsaich trèanaidh leis an eathar aca.

This series gives viewers a behind-the-scenes view of the airports across the Highlands and islands, through the eyes of the people who work there. In this programme, Shonnie MacKay is in charge of the fuel tanker at Benbecula Airport, but today more planes and helicopters are coming in than he expected, and his supplies are running low. Will he have enough until the next delivery arrives from the mainland?

At Sumburgh Airport in Shetland, Avril Irvine is working on the check-in desk with Sandra Moore. The weather is closing in, and oil workers have been diverted to Sumburgh for their journey home, but one goes missing. Meanwhile, the firefighters at Sumburgh are busy chasing birds off the runway. It's a constant battle, but how do they do it? And they launch their rescue boat for a training exercise. Show less
