Field Trip at the JAL Aircraft Maintenance Center
OBJECTIVE.
On November 4, 2026, twenty-one vibrant MPMA students from Cambodia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, the Philippines, the Kyrgyz Republic, Nepal, Laos, Mongolia, Sri Lanka and China embarked on a one-day journey to visit the JAL Aircraft Maintenance Center.
After enjoying JAL Sky Museum—where students had a fulfilling hands-on experience looking through historical uniforms and exhibits, sitting in a mock cockpit, and trying on uniforms—they stepped inside an actual hangar to watch mechanics performing maintenance up close. From the hangar, they also witnessed aircraft continuously landing and taking off on the Haneda Airport runways, expressing awe at how meticulously air traffic control manages time.
Learning outside the classroom also plays a role in strengthening the bonds between students. For those who just enrolled in September, it was likely a great icebreaker.
