[Airport Covered]

Located in Chiba Prefecture, Narita International Airport(NRT/RJAA) is Japan’s largest international airport. As a destination of many of the world’s airlines, it proudly serves a large number of both passenger and cargo aircraft. It is also Japan’s only airport with ramp control for apron areas. Operations at this busy airport are controlled through the combined efforts of the nation’s air traffic controllers and Narita’s own ramp controllers.

[Control traffic at a huge international airport!]

A wide variety of aircraft from all over the world fly into Narita International Airport. Because the airport covers a vast area, it can take considerable time to get around depending on which terminal or runway an airline uses. To prevent delays, you will need to correctly select runways and issue instructions to change taxi routes.



Gateways that entrance/exit of ramp area and ground area are required handover of control.
There often become points of congestion when large numbers of aircraft pass through. Select the appropriate gateway by maintaining a good understanding of the labyrinth of taxiways and the positions of aircraft.

[Key elements that liven up the game]

-Bad weather forces an airport to close! Narita becomes gridlocked as diverted planes fly in, one after another! Identify each aircraft’s situation and determine the order of priority.



-An unexpected guest? A runway needs to be closed for inspection when an animal incursion is reported. This is a busy time of the day and you have to get by with only one runway in operation. Then things get complicated...



-Greater separation of aircraft needs to be ensured in the case of large aircraft and cargo aircraft, because they need more time to get off the runway and they are subject to limited runway use.
