Introduction of van taxi driver - Daisuke Numao

I am half Japanese and half Finnish. I became fluent in English thanks to my Finnish mothers thorough education during my childhood.

I grew up near Narita Airport, so, since when I was a kid, my parents often took me to the airport for meals and shopping. Over time, I developed a desire to work for an airport-related job, and it has been over ten years since I got in this field of work.

I am very familiar with Narita and Haneda airports, so please feel free to ask me anything.

The strong suit of our company is the close-knit camaraderie among colleagues. As a driver, I grasp our customers' needs firsthand, allowing me to directly convey their feedback on our service to my colleagues so that their input will be reflected immediately. I highly value the close relationships with my colleagues and constantly strive to enhance our service together.

On the internet, you can quickly find information on traffic jams, flight updates, and more. However, there are certain things that you cannot find online but only drivers who work on a daily basis can feel and share, such as 'There might be a traffic jam on the Bayshore Route due to the Chiba Peninsula tourist rush from this evening into the night' or 'Flight XX has been experiencing significant delays in arrival recently.

In this day and age, I believe it's more important than ever to cherish the intimacy with colleagues.

In 2020, the need for airport transportation services plummeted to zero due to COVID-19. Since I was not able to work as a driver, my fellow drivers and I pitched in with tasks like assisting auto mechanics, organizing supplies, and doing office work—whatever we could do for our company. Not a single one of us resigned; we persevered through those tough times. It took three months till airport transportation services restarted. This period of three months deepened the bonds among our team, and now we maintain strong relationships both during and outside of work.
