Documentary series that goes behind the scenes at the airports across the Highlands and islands. In this episode, firefighters help board passengers with mobility difficulties.

Anns an t- sreath-sa tha sinn a' faighinn a-mach d猫 a tha a' dol air adhart air c霉l ghnothaichean aig puirt-adhair na G脿idhealtachd is nan Eilean tro sh霉ilean an fheadhainn a tha ag obair annta. An t-seachdain-sa, tha port-adhair an 脪bain a' frithealadh grunn de dh'eileanan air a' chost an iar, latha mu seach.

An-diugh, bidh sinn a' tadhal air Colbhasa agus 脤le c貌mhla ri p矛leat Julie Angel. Ach, tha iad a' gealltainn droch sh矛de agus chan eil fhios am faigh an d脿rna pl猫ana a-mach feasgar. Tha sin a' toirt buaidh air luchd-obrach - tha cunnart ann nach fhaigh iad air ais an-diugh.

Aig port-adhair Sumburgh ann an Sealtainn, tha an luchd-sm脿laidh a' togail luchd-siubhal aig a bheil duilgheadas coiseachd air b貌rd le uidheam s貌nraichte leis an ainm Ambulift. Agus tha eagal a beath' air Avril Irvine agus i a' falbh gu t矛r-m貌r airson latha m貌r.

In this programme, we travel to Oban Airport, which serves some of the west coast islands on alternate days. Today we visit Colonsay and Islay with pilot Julie Angel. However, the weather forecast is looking grim for the afternoon and it is uncertain if the second flight will be able to get out. Some of the morning passengers have difficult decisions to make, if they travel out for their
day's work, they risk not being able to get back.

At Sumburgh Airport in Shetland, the firefighters are helping to board passengers who have difficulty with mobility, using their Ambulift. And Avril Irvine has to face her worst fears as she heads off to the mainland for a big event.
