The US official overseeing air traffic operations resigned on Thursday over a controversy involving disclosures about sleeping air traffic controllers.

Hank Krakowski, who is director of the FAA's Air Traffic Organization, stepped down amid the revelations, the agency said in a statement.

Krakowski's resignation was accepted by FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt, who said he was conducting a full review of air traffic operations.

"Over the last few weeks, we have seen examples of unprofessional conduct on the part of a few individuals that have rightly caused the traveling public to question our ability to ensure their safety," Babbitt said in a statement. "This conduct must stop immediately."

US aviation regulators suspended two air traffic controllers this week for falling asleep on the job, including one who was out of radio contact while a medical flight was trying land.

The latest incident early on Wednesday in Nevada and one on Monday at Boeing Field in Seattle added to concerns about safety prompted by two other controllers found to have slept at work in recent months in Washington, D.C., and Tennessee.

The incidents have raised questions about adequate overnight staffing at air traffic towers. The FAA said in response to Wednesday's incident at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport that it would add controllers at 27 towers.

美國民用機場空管人員頻頻被曝在當班時間睡覺引發爭議，美國聯邦空管局（FAA）的一名高官本周四為此引咎辭職。

美國聯邦航空局發表聲明稱，該局空中交通處處長漢克?克拉考斯基引咎辭職。

美國聯邦航空局局長蘭迪?拉比特接受了漢克?克拉考斯基的辭呈。他表示正對空管系統進行徹查。

拉比特在聲明中稱：“在過去幾周，有少數空管員的行為違反職業道德，這無疑導致乘客質疑我們保障安全的能力。必須馬上制止這種行為。”

本周，美國空管機構已責令兩名當班睡覺的空管員停職。在其中一起事件中，由于空管員睡覺，一架醫療飛機在準備著陸時與地面失去了無線電聯系。

前幾個月，華盛頓和田納西都發生了空管員當班睡覺事件。本周三在內華達、本周一在西雅圖的波音機場也都發生了類似事件。這些都引發了人們對空中安全的擔憂。

機場指揮塔夜班人力不足也引發了人們的關注。美國聯邦航空局在回應本周三雷諾機場的一起類似事故時稱，將在27座指揮塔上增加空管員。
