Where to watch "New York Super Airport"
3. Moving Passengers and Planes
No release date yet
The new LaGuardia Airport must be a highly efficient passenger and plane processing machine but the worst snowstorm in five years brings construction and operations to a grinding halt. The team races to complete Terminal B and its twin pedestrian bridges in time for the grand opening, while brand new high-tech baggage screening and handling systems, key to the success of the new airport, must be installed and tested.
Disney+2. Building on Water
No release date yet
Construction crews battle to stay on schedule; they must build new gates before they tear down the old or operations will grind to a halt. The team digs foundations for a new concourse 200-feet deep into reclaimed land but hits trouble that could delay the build. New York ironworkers fight to connect their biggest truss yet, which will form the terminal’s grand entrance, while flocking waterfowl threaten to bring down aircraft.
1. Skyscraper Terminals
No release date yet
LaGuardia Airport is hemmed in by river and roads, so designers must push the limits of a tight site by building as tall as possible. This means a vast 120-foot-long escalator is needed to move passengers between floors. But the install hangs precariously in the balance. Below ground the team battles to prevent devastating floods, while above, they build a world-first; twin 450-foot-long pedestrian bridges that allow aircraft to pass beneath.
