A group of air traffic controllers in Japan has been disciplined for letting high school students on a study tour radio instructions to pilots.The students were on an excursion at Fukuoka Airport in southern Japan last week when air traffic controllers offered them the opportunity to instruct pilots approaching the runway.
The students were handed messages which they then radioed to the pilots.
Afterwards, the air controllers told the students to keep the experience to themselves.
But one of the teenagers boasted about what happened at a school talk and three controllers have now been reprimanded by Japan's transport ministry.
Its good to hear that the students from school were allowed to take a tour to the air traffic controller at Fukuoka Airport in southern Japan. But its bad to hear that the three controllers have now been reprimanded by Japan's transport ministry. Thanks for sharing this news with us.
