Annually, the airport sees a staggering 6 billion travelers, averaging around 170,000 individuals passing through daily. Kaori Shinoda, portrayed by Fukada Kyoko, embarks on a challenging new role as an air traffic controller. This position demands unwavering focus and precision, as a split-second error in judgment could lead to a catastrophic event. Despite initially working as ground staff at the airport, Kaori harbored a deep-seated aspiration to become an air traffic controller overseeing flights for various airlines. Motivated by a particular incident, she decides to resign and undergo the national exam. Following intensive training at the air navigation security college, Kaori is appointed to the Air Traffic Control Centre at Haneda Airport just before her thirtieth birthday. Upon entering the control tower, a mix of nerves, excitement, and anxiety washes over her as she encounters a team of composed professionals adept at managing crises and safeguarding lives. Kaori receives guidance from seasoned air controller Hiromi Takeuchi, played by Seto Asaka, during her on-the-job training. A minor oversight on her part leads to a near-miss incident, leaving her disheartened. Despite her feelings of inadequacy, Kaori finds solace in the advice of fellow air traffic controllers Noboru Yuki, portrayed by Tokito Saburo, and Yukihiro Kondo, played by Kaname Jun, gradually regaining her composure and resolve.
