A labor union representing air traffic controllers in Japan has called for a 'significant increase' in staff to improve the safety of operations at airports following a deadly crash at Tokyo's Haneda airport. The call for more staff comes after a Japan Airlines plane took 12 times longer than the 90-second evacuation standard to clear, prompting concerns about safety. The union's demand for more air traffic controllers follows the miraculous evacuation of the Japan Airlines plane, which has raised questions about the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) evacuation standard. The union's plea for more staff aims to enhance safety and prevent future incidents.
The miraculous evacuation of a Japan Airlines plane proved the #FAA must re-think its 90-second evac standard—reports are that it took 12x as long to clear the JAL plane. Our House #FAA bill will improve safety, but while the Senate stalls the FAA should act NOW. More here ⬇️ https://t.co/yURpxIaCIB
