Recommendation of business improvement to two companies such as Star Flyer Pilot drinking issue November 29, 18:17
In the endless pilot drinking problem, Starflyer and LCC = low-cost airline Jetstar Japan will detect alcohol one after another from the captain and co-pilot before the flight from July to September. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism issued operational improvement recommendations to these two companies.
At the Star Flyer, headquartered in Kitakyushu, it was discovered that the captain and co-pilot had not received an alcohol test before the flight from Naha to Kitakyushu in July. Canceled
In August of the following month, alcohol was detected by the co-pilot who was scheduled to fly on flights from Kitakyushu to Taipei, and the crew changed their delay.
In addition, at Jetstar Japan, alcohol was detected during the pre-boarding inspection by two captains who were scheduled to fly on flights from Kansai Airport to Narita and New Chitose respectively. Canceled or delayed.
In response to this situation, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism issued a business improvement recommendation on the 29th to take measures to prevent recurrence for Star Flyer and Jetstar Japan because of insufficient drinking education.
