Against an overcast sky, a side view of a plane taking off from a runway over which text displays word by word: EVERY- RUNWAY- HAS – A STORY
Narrator: “Mobility is on the rise. Whether passengers are going on holiday, visiting a relative or signing the most important deal of their life, they want the confidence that they will experience a safe and smooth journey.”

In a densely built-up city, heavy traffic is seen moving in multiple lanes at a flyover surrounded by high-rise buildings. From ground level, passengers’ legs are seen walking across an airport concourse, followed by wheeled suitcases of various colours. A man, a woman and two children are standing at an airline check in desk; the man hands passports to the check-in attendant. A woman waits at the top of an escalator as her relative comes up the escalator and rushes to greet her. From the rear, a suited businessman wheels his suitcase along an airport concourse. On board the plane, a flight attendant demonstrates how to access an oxygen mask.
Narrator: “Whether it is a technical issue on the aircraft, adverse weather conditions, or congestion in air traffic, various factors that delay flights can happen on a daily basis. Not only do they affect customer satisfaction, but they can also have a significant financial impact.”

Narrator: “Choosing a durable bitumen binder for the construction and maintenance of your runways is a factor within your control. The less disruption your airport faces, the better it is for its reputation and your business.”

In the foreground, passengers are waiting inside the boarding lounge, silhouetted against the window. Seated in the lounge, a suited businessman is on the phone as he waits with his suitcase while a business woman seated in a row behind him checks her phone. As the camera pans along, a businesswoman is seen checking her tablet a couple of seats along from the businessman.
