Buckle up, grip your armrests and pray it never happens to you, as this popular series shares astonishing survival and heartbreaking aviation disasters.
Featuring re-enactments and exclusive eyewitness accounts, this gripping series joins investigators as they try to determine what went wrong and how these tragedies can be prevented from happening again.
Airline disasters can be truly catastrophic – but some people are determined to find hope among the wreckage.
National Geographic UK seems to number some of the seasons differently from its native Canada, and previous seasons have not aired consistently. There’s some confusion over the season numbering in the UK compared to the US and Canada.

Season 25 starts in the UK on National Geographic on February 2nd, 2026. (With the episodes in all the wrong order, as usual.)

Looks like Season 24 now starts at 9pm on Nat Geo in the UK, not 8pm as shown above.
It’s not showing on disney via national geograpic channel : (
UK – No sign of series 23 on NG on 6th February 2023, only series 22 ep3 at 21.00.
According to the site: http://natgeotv.com/uk/air-crash-investigation/about, the new series should start December 2013, I haven’t seen the episode that the episode is about, and I’ve watched all ACIs more then twice, or three, four times, and never seen this one. I just thought to give you the heads up :)
Well spotted. That does indeed look like the start of 13. Duly updated. Thank you
