Roger.

May I take your cup?

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for flying with us

on Flight 900 from Naha to Haneda, Tokyo International Airport.

"First Officer: Sui Kurata"

We are currently cruising smoothly.

You'll soon be able to see Mt. Fuji in front of you on the left.

Until we reach our destination. please relax and enjoy the flight.

It's weird.

What's the matter, Captain Kitami?

The weather and meters are normal.

Mount Fuji is as usual too.

That's why.

Kurata, you're the "lucky" junior rumoured to

always get us involved in trouble if we fly with you.

What... Then today we're literally lucky.

Look, a halo.

Kurata, how many years have you been a first officer?

It's my third year, but it's the first time I see it.

I had no idea it was so beautiful.

Wait, when a halo forms...

A sign of the weather turning bad.

Wow, you cut him off.

What? Isn't that unpleasant?

Wow, impressive, Shibuya.

Your controlling is brilliant. Nice control!

She's too unfriendly.

No! Your work is perfect.

Being friendly is... Right?

You're too friendly. Natsume.

Nah... Am I?

J Silver 120, Tokyo Tower, runway 22. Continue approach.

Kurata.

- Yes. - When you land, you have a habit

of tilting the centre stick to the left.

Yes.

Especially when the crosswind is strong.

Or when the visibility is low. your habit shows.

Yes.

Check the meters to see whether you're controlling it right or not.

Yes.

Also...

Too close.

Oh. I'm sorry!

It's my habit.

I can't help going near people.

You're like something...

A dog!

Ah. I've been told.

Like. a puppy?

No, not a tiny, whining dog. It's the bow-wow kind that runs...

the fluffy, huge... Oh. large dog!

Oh, are you okay?

- Let me help. - Thank you.

Rescue dog?

"JAL meal B"

Locks delicious«!

You're in my way, go somewhere.

- Good morning, Captain Murai. - Morning

Flight 43 to London.

- Let's start our briefing.

The ship of today's flight is JA861J.

The ship of the previous flight will be here soon

There are 195 passengers, full capacity.

l and...

Japan Air 115, Tokyo Tower.

Hold short of runway 16, you're number two for departure.

Wind 150 at 12...

Is this the controller at the tower?

Yes. that's right.

Japan Air 115, runway 16R at Alpha 14. Line up runway.

James!

- Hey.

Oh no...

Safe.

Thank you for your help!

Don't mention it.

What's the matter?

The plane made a bit of a hard landing this morning.

So I'm worried about it.

I talked to the captain. and asked to come here first.

Oh. that won't affect the plane at all.

Anyway Sui, worry about yourself.

Today was the weather.

The other day the passengers caused trouble.

And the destination's runway closed before that?

You're so "lucky!"

Well, despite the troubles. the plane and passengers were okay.

I'm lucky.

Yeah. in fact.

That didn't occur to me.

Well, I don't fly alone.

Of course.

You want to look for a controller? What's that?

What?

- You're in love with her voice? - What?

- Love at first hearing? - No, I just want to thank her.

I hear her voice a lot at Haneda lately.

At first. t thought she was unfriendly.

But after listening to her controlling.

It's obvious how much she thinks when she controls.

It's like we're flying together.

So I'm wondering what she's actually like.

Okay, attend a gathering.

Gather? To exchange opinions with people at other posts?

"Blind dating" is the name of that.

You know many people. you must know a controller.

Well. that's...

Controllers and pilots only meet in the crew training once a few years.

Is that so?

We only know each other's voices. It's a strange relationship.

Besides planes for a charge.

Has it been two? Or three years?

Is that so?

Wow. it's so cool!

The 78?

Oh, I want to take that.

Oops, I have many things to do before the cabin crew comes.

After this flight takes off.

I aim to leave on time.

No. early.

See you.

Mr Natsume please tell us about the weather.

A cyclone is developing and going east from Honshu.

So there's strong wind all over Japan.

Haneda is also affected by the strong wind.

But we expected it, so it's nice to be able to handle it calmly.

Matsume is a certified meteorologist

That's all. Mr Igarashi, would you like to say anything?

Tomorrow, our trainee Kawahara here wills tart her on the job training.

I'm Kasumi Kawahara, nice to meet you.

Her supervisor will be me and...

Natsume! I'm counting on you.

Let's do our best.

Looking forward to it.

Thank you...

Thank you.

Oh. Miss Mayu!

Excuse me, instead of me, her supervisor--

- No way. - So readily

I only started rating at Haneda a month ago.

See you.

So cool!

Am I being hated right away?

That's her usual self. but she is a skilled controller.

She only started rating at Haneda a month ago?

Miss Mayu has been workmg at her local Aomori Airport till last year.

but she go used to

one of the world's largest airports right after she came.

I'm glad you are my supervisor. though.

You're easy to talk to

Oh? Is that so?

Yes.

May I ask question now”?

Go ahead..

In this job...

do we meet pilots?

No.

We're in the same industry, our offices are very close.

But we're in different worlds.

We have no point of contact at all.

Students on a school trip.

They're excited.

You've always liked to watch excited people before boarding

Good aftenoon.

- Today, you... - I'll deadhead to Fukuoka now.

I have a bit of time.

You have to go to Fukuoka? It's tough being a pilot.

Who are they”?

The flight to Okinawa at 11:00 am.

I'll check whether we can check in early or not.

If you guys cause any problems. I'm going to send you home at once!

Okay...

Hey Shohei.

Shohei, stop daydreaming!

Oh. Mr Kurata!

Let's have dinner! When is your next day off?

My day off... Revision! I need to do my revision.

You always say that. You can't run away today.

No, seriously...

See you at the destination!

- Okay. - Wait...

See you.

Are you okay?

Oh, I'm sorry!

Oh? Controller?

Apple? Aeroplane?

Mayu.

Oh, Rikako.

Oh, you came to Haneda?

As distant as always.

Have you party

and hit on girls somewhere else!

- What? - What? Hit on girls?

No... I didn't...

Go to the ship Without me. I'll be right there.

- Yes - Yes

I haven't seen you in a while. When did we last meet?

Oh. wait!

I didn't know you were here Rikako.

Kurata.

Have you seen the students on their trip?

- What happened? - One is missing before check-in.

Shohei Nakao?

Yes, I'm sorry.

Shohei, stop daydreaming!

That boy...

Mr Shohei Nakao, boarding the flight to Okinawa at 11:00 am!

Are you here?

Oh, excuse me!

Have you seen a middle school boy?

I haven't.

Thanks.

Is everyone doing well in Aomori?

I guess it's no use asking you.

We really don't see each other, though.

I thought you hated Haneda?

I was assigned here, so I have to.

Unlike you, I'm a civil servant.

I see.

Well, many things change when you're in your mid-30s.

Oh, you were promoted to Chief Purser? Congratulations.

Thank you.

Well, "thank you?

Indeed, it was my dream

to wear the white jacket as the chief and lead the crew.

But I just can't do it.

I can't communicate with the girls at all.

He hits on another girl?

I also had dinner with pilots

or had drinks with football players. and made a fuss.

What are you talking about?

But I realised after all that.

If I get married. I'll marry a technician!

Hey! The air conditioner is too cold!

Sorry! I'll raise the temperature.

Shohei must've run away.

It's so tiring. I want to go home too.

It can be anything, do you have any clue?

- What? - Pilot?

- Is it real? - Yes, it's real.

It's real? Wow!

- Show me! - Wait...

Robbing?

- Wow! - Wait, stop...

So lame.

I thought he was a pilot?

What is he doing?

Well then, I'll take you two to board first.

- This way. please. - I'm sorry.

Goodbye.

Awesome...

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

They can be lovely sometimes.

That boy secretly asked me.

Whether he could board the plane without a passport.

When I told him it was okay. he looked very relieved.

This is bad! I was informed someone saw a middle school boy.

Where?

May I have one?

Hey, what are you doing?

A middle school kid wants to smoke? What are you thinking?

Miss Yamanoi, get in touch with his parent now.

You'll be suspended from school starting today!

We can't let this problematic kid board a flight!

Carcel one person, please.

Please wait!

Nakao, if you have a reason--

Shut up!

I dont want to board the flight either!

Is this the first time you took a plane?

Of course it isn't

Is that so?

Got a problem? Our family has no money to travel!

But Dad...

Dad said he had to let me go oh the school trip.

He forced himself to save money.

Then why did you...

I looked forward to it and I was excited to get on a plane

for the first time.

But after I came to the airport.

And saw real aeroplanes.

I thought there was no way these huge things could fly.

And I got scared.

Oh, why didn't you tell me?

How can I? It's so stupid.

If you cause trouble at the smoking area.

Then you'll be suspended and won't have to get on a plane?

That's how middle-school kids think.

How dare you!

Don't worry, aeroplanes are the safest vehicle in the world.

Let's say, putting your luggage on the plane alone

already involves many people.

All the more if lives are concerned.

Pilots, flight attendants,

technicians who do aircraft maintenance...

People who come up with a safe air route...

People who get things ready to let us depart safely.

There are also people who keep the sky safe after we take off.

Is this really okay?

Yes! I've been on a plane a thousand times, so I'm sure.

A thousand times?

It's even more for the captain there.

I guess it's about three thousand times.

It's 3,252 times.

Really?

Your memory is so good!

R1. Matsumura.

Oh, I heard you did a great job yesterday.

What?

The uptight captain with you was my classmate.

- Oh, Mr Murai! - Right.

The first time I took a plane was also in middle school

So I thought maybe his case was the same.

I see.

My parents were always working.

it was the only time they took me on a journey to Hawaii

The memories at the destination

and the smile on my family's faces are something I can't forget

As a child at that time

I wanted to make everyone in the world smile.

Compared to when I was a child

Aeroplanes have become something much more common

But in the world.

The school trip could be the first and the last journey for some.

- Thank you... - Thank you...

- Welcome aboard... - Welcome aboard...

Even if it's one of the thousands of times for a pilot.

For some people, this is the only and special flight

in their lives.

Let's go.

Oh, you startled me.

Kurata, you have technician friends don't you?

- Yes? - Will you introduce someone nice?

Well, I don't...

You have a controller friend. don't you?

"Gathering invitation."

Pitots, flight attendants, technicians, controllers.

Our jobs are different, but we're connected by the same sky.

Let's exchange opinions!

Why a heart Shape?

Pilots?

Ta-da!

Shining Rainbow Gyoza and...

Fly in the Sky with Angels Gyoza!

Your new products Hana? What's the filling?

Secret.

Looks delicious.

They are delicious.

Okay. done!

Is it okay to have gyoza the very first time?

Is this restaurant okay?

The place doesn't matter, does it? Who we'll have dinner with does.

Oh, Kasumi. right?

You're young, but reliable. That's a controller for you.

Miss Rikako, your makeup

is as thick as I'd expected a flight attendant's would be.

Hey!

If we gather to exchange opinions. shouldn't we go to a meeting room?

Jumping at a chance to meet pilots shows you're young.

You too...

I don't take any technician I see.

Excuse me. do you work in the sky?

- Yes. - Yes.

Oh! Mr James...

James?

The guy with piercing eyes.

Welcome.

You're here!

Welcome!

- You're late! - Sorry. we're late.

I'm James, I do line maintenance.

We just came.

I'm so sorry about the other day.

Sorry, it's my usual restaurant today.

Technicians...

- Do you live in the neighbourhood? - Yes.

I am a flight attendant. my name is Rikako Iizuka.

Shibuya, a controller.

I'm Kasumi Kawahara, controller trainee.

I'm Sui Kurata, a first officer.

Co-pilot! Wow!

You control an aircraft too, don't you?

- Yes. - Wow!

A job of flying around the world is what I long to do.

No, I'm not doing that yet.

- Let's make a toast!

- I'm glad we're off tomorrow. - Yeah.

Why? You don't drink?

Oh, She'll cycle home.

Bicycle? Where do you live?

Kitashimo Moruko.

Kitashimo Moruko?

It's 10 kilometres away from here! And you're eating.

She gets hungry easily.

Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Cheers.

You get too close. I'd be happy if it was a cute girl.

You'd be happy if it's a cute girl?

Oh, Sui, get to the point.

Actually, I'm looking for a controller.

- Controller? - Yes.

At about nine o'clock last Friday, there was a microburst at Haneda.

I'd like to meet the controller in charge

when we landed and thank her.

That's...

Do you know her?

No...

I think you'd better not.

You're going to be let down when you see her.

Calm and capable, immune to everything?

Those people are hopeless in private life instead.

And she shouldn't cut off the radio before you could thank her.

But it was my fault too, the timing wasn't--

It'd be only 10 seconds.

Haneda is said to be one of the world's busiest airports.

About 1,300 flights take off and land there a day.

During rush hours. one plane uses a runway per minute.

*Gem didn't sub this part wtf

decides the order of arrivals and departures.

instructs take-off and landing.

and has to issue clearance to departing vehicles in between.

To a pilot, maybe it's just 10 seconds in their long flight.

But a controller has to make it safe

and let flights take off and land as punctually as possible.

so the time is valuable.

If I use 10 seconds at one time, for 1,300 flights...

Three hours, 36 minutes and 40 seconds.

We'll lose three hours, 36 minutes and 40 seconds.

You say it's lost...

I don't think it's wasted.

Yes, it's important to keep things punctual.

But we carry hundreds of lives when we fly.

So when you saved us, thanking you for flying with us...

is something important.

Alright!

Let's exercise airmanship here. Hana.

Coming!

Captain's Whim Fried Gyoza!

It's made on a whim, but the gyoza is gorgeous! Try them.

- They're delicious! - Yeah.

Sorry, I'll go first. My honey is asking for me.

What? Honey?

Hana, the bill.

- Okay. - Wait. Mr Sakaki!

Wait. James!

My bicycle.

"Gyoza no Pawn"

Sorry, you came, but...

It's okay.

Mr Kurata. I was moved by your story.

You're a wonderful pilot.

No, maybe I was wrong.

Why?

I'm sure the controller I'm looking for

thinks in the same way as her.

I'll pay attention.

Which way is your home?

Maybe it was me, The controller.

What?

I was told to try doing it because I could learn from it.

Of course, my supervisor did it with me.

I panicked at the end and turned off the radio.

What? Really?

Yes! I just remember. It was me.

I see!

Thank you so much at that time.

If you don't mind. let's exchange contact details.

Miss Kasumi Kawahara.

Mr Sui Kurata.

I'll go this way.

- Okay, take care. - Okay.

My parents run a business in the shopping district there.

It's a small halr salon.

I've been helping at many shops since the past.

You don't seem to believe I can fix it.

Haneda's pilots have so much free time.

Oh, I saw you at the lobby the other day.

You were helping someone? That was kind.

I love aeroplanes, the airport. and the people there.

That's all I can do.

That's why I couldn't help doing unnecessary things.

I say and do everything on my mind.

I'm as simple as you can see.

Can I ask something unnecessary by the way?

I've been thinking about that character. What is it?

I'm sure I know it.

Toburin.

Toburin! Aeroplane and apple.

Especially White Impulse.

Oh, it's done.

What? Already?

Wow, it is!

Thank goodness! My partner...

Sorry about the trouble.

Miss Shibuya, you're the opposite.

- What? - People misunderstand you easily.

That's dangerous.

Please send the invoice to Haneda Tower's Shibuya.

No, I won't send you an invoice.

See you.

Wait till the rain stops...

"Naha Airport Domestic"

About the weather, the rain front is stationary near Haneda.

It's forecast to rain from the evening till tonight.

But it won't affect this flight much.

We'll get in touch early if we're informed of any turbulence.

Please make the announcement.

Okay.

You're fired up.

Today's flight is the students' return flight.

- Welcome aboard. - Welcome.

No...

This could be the last flight in someone's life.

It's cloudy, isn't it?

It might rain earlier than forecast.

I hope it won't affect the runways.

Indeed...

If it isn't that heavy, the visibility should be fine.

This is bad...

If this continues...

Japan Air 910, go ahead.

Japan Air 910, expect hold at Haneda due to low visibility.

Low visibility?

Maybe the fog at Haneda is dense and we can't land.

Gosh, Haneda isn't foggy often. You're too "lucky."

Some might need a go-around.

Check aeronautical lights.

Request for air traffic control at the ATM Centre.

Okay. Natsume. make a call.

We might need to turn the ILS on high.

High?

Use high category ILS approach.

That means we might need a special approach.

The warm, wet air is cooled by wind from the north, it's worrying.

And of all days, It has to be foggy today!

Visual observation is difficult.

We'll use IMC and consider a CAT III ILS approach.

And we're ready to adapt the low visibility system, but...

After that...

Aircrafts can land even when the fog is dense

but in the end.

We have to rely on each other's voices.

It's on here.

Oh, there's fog!

Really?

Currently, there is fog at Haneda Airpert.

So we're expecting a delay.

We will keep you updated.

We can't go home? Really?

Oh no...

We're going to be there late.

If we can't land after approaching. stand up till the fog disperses.

If there isn't enough fuel. we might have to divert, right?

Should we announce the situation first?

Roger.

Yes. it'd be helpful if you do so.

Some passengers are rather upset.

Hey, can we land like this?

I'm sorry.

I'm asking what you'll do!

Sir.

We are waiting for clearance to land by the control tower.

Stop dawdling!

Excuse me, may I make the announcement?

Shut up!

Many people are working to help us!

How can we interrupt their work?

I knew I was lucky.
