Of course, both air traffic control and aviation rescue firefighting feature prominently in the series, which offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the people who make Melbourne Airport run smoothly.

On this Australian Aviation premium podcast, we talk to air traffic controller Melissa Lindsay and aviation rescue firefighter Keith Miles, both featured on the show, about how their work helps keep planes in the air – and makes sure they’re safe when they’re on the ground.
