在驾驶舱发生袭击事件后,FlyDubai航空公司受到密切关注阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)表示正在主导对此事件的调查,FlyDubai往返迪拜和特拉维夫的航班已被暂停。
FlyDubai Under Scrutiny After Cockpit Attack The United Arab Emirates has said it is leading the investigation into the episode, and FlyDubai’s service between Dubai and Tel Aviv has been suspended.
自美国促成《亚伯拉罕协议》、实现与以色列关系正常化以来(至今已近六年),尽管部分阿拉伯邻国强烈反对,阿联酋仍与以色列保持着稳定的关系。商业往来便是这种关系的体现之一;两国之间的直飞航班也常被视为两国关系日益紧密的例证。然而,周三发生在FlyDubai航班上的这起袭击事件再次引发了外界对两国关系的质疑。
For almost six years sinceg the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords to normalize relations with Israel, the United Arab Emirates has maintained a steadfast relationship with the country, despite a fierce backlash from some of its Arab neighbors. Commercial ties were one demonstration of that relationship, and direct flights between the countries became a frequently cited example of their growing links. But the attack in the cockpit of a FlyDubai flight traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv on Wednesday has brought renewed scrutiny of their relationship.
关于袭击的动机,目前仍存在诸多疑问。据目击者称,副驾驶刺伤了飞行员,机组人员迅速冲进驾驶舱以避免空难发生。该航班最终在沙特阿拉伯紧急降落。
Questions are swirling over what prompted the attack, in which witnesses say the co-pilot stabbed the pilot and passengers and crew members rushed the cockpit to avert a midair catastrophe. The plane made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.
阿联酋方面表示正在调查这起事件,包括其是否与恐怖主义有关;FlyDubai已暂停了往返迪拜和特拉维夫的航班服务。以色列交通部周四在声明中表示,这一决定是应内政安全部门Shin Bet负责人的建议、由本雅明·内塔尼亚胡总理下令作出的。
The Emirates has said it is leading the investigation into the attack, including any potential links to terrorism, and FlyDubai has suspended the service between Dubai and Tel Aviv. Israel’s Ministry of Transportation said in a statement on Thursday that the suspension was also a directive from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the recommendation of the head of Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security agency.
一些以色列官员也在加强对该航空公司的审查。袭击事件发生后,许多以色列民众变得不愿再乘坐FlyDubai的航班。以色列旗舰航空公司El Al周四表示将开通特别航班,协助将滞留在阿联酋的以色列公民接回国内。
Some Israeli officials are also intensifying scrutiny of the airline. Some Israelis have proven reluctant to fly on the airline after the attack. El Al, Israel’s flagship carrier, said on Thursday that it would launch special flights to bring Israelis back from the Emirates.
2020年11月,FlyDubai成为首家飞往特拉维夫的阿联酋航空公司——这一时刻大约发生在以色列与阿拉伯联合酋长国签署《亚伯拉罕协议》两个月之后。在纪念该航班开通的仪式上,以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡称这条航线的开通是一个“具有里程碑意义的时刻”。
FlyDubai became the first Emirati airline to fly to Tel Aviv in November 2020, roughly two months after Israel and the United Arab Emirates signed the Abraham Accords. At a ceremony to commemorate the first flight, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel called the inauguration of the route a “pivotal moment.”
