Just a week after the collapse of a jet bridge, the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport was involved in another scandal in which a supervisor at its central control center was caught drinking alcohol and flirting with a female worker while on duty. This demonstrates the loose discipline of airport staff. Before the scandal was revealed by a legislator, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications had asked the Civil Aviation Administration (CAA) to investigate the case, and the result was that 'there was no such incident.' Such bureaucratic mentality is the main reason behind the airport's decline in recent years. Immediately after the scandal came to light, airport management was still trying to cover up for the supervisor by arguing that he was not on duty that day and that the incident could have been the result of retaliation by contractors. The airport also said it would look into who took the photos and leaked them to the legislator. None of these arguments withstand scrutiny. A corrupt organization needs a whistle-blower to uncover its irregularities and push for reforms. We must not continue to allow those ignorant officials to ruin the image of the country's main gateway. If the CAA lacks the ability, the government should consider appointing a team of experts to help the airport revamp itself.
