In Tokyo Haneda Airport, there are approximately 30,000 flights operating each day, including a variety of aircraft such as jumbo jets and helicopters. During busy times, aircraft are separated by a minimum of 2 minutes to ensure safety. In cases of crowded airspace, aircraft may be instructed to hold until space becomes available. With the opening of a new terminal at Haneda, the number of flights has increased to 33,000. Air Traffic Controllers play a crucial role in preventing collisions between aircraft in the air and on the ground by giving precise instructions known as ATC phrases. This high-stakes job is considered one of the most stressful in the world as it involves the safety of thousands of lives on board each plane. In Japan, there are two main types of controllers: Terminal (GND, TWR, APP) and Enroute (CTR). Terminal controllers manage aircraft around the airport, while enroute controllers oversee aircraft along the invisible highways in the sky. Enroute control is divided into four areas: Sapporo, Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Naha. Tokyo Control, which has the largest airspace, is where the story unfolds. This drama focuses on the reconstruction of major accidents caused by human error in air traffic control and how controllers handle such incidents.
