Aviation Division

KONOSUKE ONO
- What led you to join the company?
- I've loved airplanes since I was a student, and my older brother getting a job at an airline company inspired me to pursue this industry. During my student years, I worked as a ground staff member, providing customer service at the airport. I became interested in the work I heard about from an aviation-loving acquaintance who works at WAB, and after graduating from university, I joined WAB Corporation.
- How is your work at WAB?
- WAB has many professionals from the aviation industry, and senior colleagues patiently teach me anything I'm unsure about in my daily work. On the other hand, since communication is primarily in English, both in emails and on the ground, I actively engage in language learning. Within six months of joining the company, I'm now in charge of a cargo jet I'm responsible for.
- What do you find rewarding about your work?
- While there are times when dealing with irregular situations, such as applying to relevant government agencies, coordinating with customs and immigration, and adjusting ground handling and in-flight meals, I always feel a great sense of accomplishment when I see the aircraft depart safely. Above all, as someone who loves airplanes, I find this job, which allows me to work close to aircraft, very appealing, and I am also satisfied with the salary and work-life balance.
