A new show to really understand what happens on an airport “behind the scenes”.
This October, Travel Channel gives viewers an unprecedented look into the inner workings of Miami International Airport on the all-new series “Airport 24/7: Miami.” Premiering on Tuesday, October 2 at 9:00 p.m, E/PT, with two back-to-back episodes, the six episode series spotlights the ensemble cast of nine airport personnel, and the challenges they face as they work to keep MIA running efficiently. See what it takes to fight terrorism, intercept drug smugglers, secure a presidential landing and manage severe weather, all in a day’s work.
With nearly 40 million passengers a year, MIA is the size of a small city – and considered a “Category X” airport, a prime target for a terrorist attack. Viewers will meet the steadfast MIA team whose jobs it is to keep one of America’s largest airports running around the clock, and see what it takes to fight terrorism, intercept drug smugglers, secure a presidential landing, manage severe weather and much more.
“Airports are a big part of traveling, and this show is a way to give our viewers an exclusive and rare glimpse into this amazing and dynamic world.

Witnessing firsthand all that it takes to get people safely to their destinations we guarantee will both entertain and make our viewers more informed as travelers,” says Andy Singer, General Manager, Travel Channel.
