“我们必须让这一调查过程有足够的时间来查明事实，”飞迪拜航空公司（Flydubai）首席执行官盖思·阿尔-盖思（Ghaith Al Ghaith）表示。
“It is important that we allow this process to establish the facts,” said flydubai CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith.
特拉维夫：据知情人士透露，以色列官员预计将对那名涉嫌企图劫持从迪拜飞往特拉维夫的商用客机的副驾驶进行讯问。
TEL AVIV: Israeli officials are expected to question the co-pilot who allegedly attempted to crash a commercial passenger flight from Dubai bound for Tel Aviv, according to a source briefed on the investigation.
周三（9月30日），在飞迪拜航空公司FZ1073航班上，乘客和机组人员成功制服了那名副驾驶——该副驾驶曾刺伤机长，以色列官员称其此举显然是为了劫持这架载有170多名乘客和机组人员的飞机。这场灾难因此得以避免。
随同该航班出行的飞迪拜航空公司备用机组人员将飞机降落在沙特阿拉伯西北部的塔布克机场，副驾驶随后被沙特当局拘留。
Disaster was averted on flydubai flight FZ1073 on Wednesday (Sep 30) after passengers and crew subdued the co-pilot, who had stabbed the captain in what Israeli officials have said was an apparent attempt to crash the plane carrying over 170 passengers and crew. A reserve flydubai pilot crew travelling on the flight landed the plane at Tabuk airport in northwestern Saudi Arabia, where the co-pilot was detained by Saudi Arabian authorities.
周四，这名副驾驶被转移到阿联酋，据消息人士称，以色列官员预计将在阿联酋对他进行讯问。不过该消息人士拒绝透露具体是哪个以色列机构或部门将参与此次讯问。
The co-pilot was transferred on Thursday to the UAE, where the source said Israeli officials were expected to question him. The source declined to say which Israeli agency or authority would take part in the questioning.
当被问及以色列官员是否会讯问这名副驾驶时，一位以色列政府官员告诉路透社：“以色列调查人员将与阿联酋当局共同参与此次调查，以查明事件真相，并审查嫌疑人的动机和背景。”
Asked whether Israeli officials would question the co-pilot, an Israeli government official told Reuters that Israeli investigators would take part in the UAE-led investigation alongside Emirati authorities, seeking to determine what happened and examine the suspect's motives and background.
对于以色列官员是否会对副驾驶进行讯问的问题，阿联酋外交部并未立即作出回应。
The UAE foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether Israeli officials would question the co-pilot.
在就该事件发表的首次公开评论中，飞迪拜航空公司首席执行官盖思·阿尔-盖思表示，当局正在展开正式调查，该调查得到了航空公司的支持。他称这起事件属于“ cockpit 内的安全事故”。
In his first public comments on the incident, flydubai Chief Executive Ghaith Al Ghaith said on Friday that authorities were conducting an official investigation, supported by the airline, after what he described as a "safety incident" in the cockpit.
“我们必须让这一调查过程有足够的时间来查明事实，”他在一份书面声明中说道，并承认关于FZ1073航班上发生的事情仍有许多未解之谜。
"It is important that we allow this process to establish the facts," he said in a written statement, acknowledging that there were "many questions" about what happened on flight FZ1073.
阿联酋国家新闻机构周四报道称，阿联酋当局已展开调查，旨在查明事件的具体情况与动机，并确定“该事件是否与任何恐怖活动有关，或者是否存在事先的策划或指示”。
The UAE state news agency reported on Thursday that Emirati authorities had opened an investigation seeking to establish the circumstances and motives and determine "whether the incident was linked to any terrorist activity or purpose, or involved prior planning or direction".
动机尚未查明以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡周五表示，以色列正在调查副驾驶是否是在他人的指示下行事的；他在办公室发布的视频声明中警告称，任何涉案人员都将付出“沉重的代价”。机上大多数乘客为以色列公民。
MOTIVE NOT YET ESTABLISHED Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday that Israel was looking into whether the co-pilot had acted under anyone's direction, warning in a video statement released by his office that whoever was involved would pay a "heavy price". Most of the passengers on board were Israeli nationals.
内塔尼亚胡称，这名副驾驶是阿曼国籍的人，曾接受过“伊斯兰极端主义思想的灌输”，且明显具有自杀倾向，但目前其作案动机尚未明确。
Netanyahu on Thursday said that the co-pilot, whom he has identified as an Omani national, had undergone "Islamist radical indoctrination" and was clearly suicidal, but that so far a motive for his actions had not been established.
以色列与阿曼没有正式的外交关系，内塔尼亚胡表示不允许来自此类国家的飞行员执飞飞往以色列的航班。目前尚不清楚这名副驾驶是如何被安排执行这次飞往特拉维夫的航班的。
Israel does not have official diplomatic relations with Oman, and Netanyahu has said pilots from such countries were not permitted to operate flights to Israel. It was not clear how the co-pilot came to be assigned to the flight to Tel Aviv.
根据飞行追踪网站Flightradar24的数据，这架飞机在从阿联酋飞往以色列的途中，当它飞越沙特阿拉伯上空时，高度在30秒内骤降了约16,625英尺（约5,035米）。这条航线在以色列人中非常受欢迎。
The aircraft plunged some 16,625 feet in just over 30 seconds as it flew over Saudi Arabia on the journey from the United Arab Emirates to Israel, according to data from flight tracker Flightradar24. The route is popular among Israelis.
机长被誉为英雄除了副驾驶的国籍外，其身份尚未公开。被刺伤的机长是印度公民斯米特·马查尔（Smit Machchhar），他已被内塔尼亚胡和印度总理莫迪誉为英雄。阿曼当局尚未对这一事件发表任何评论。
CAPTAIN HAILED AS HERO The co-pilot's identity has not been publicly disclosed beyond his nationality. The captain who was stabbed has been identified as Indian national Smit Machchhar, who has been hailed as a hero by Netanyahu and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Omani authorities have not commented on the incident.
这一事件加剧了以色列的安全担忧。在以色列于10月27日举行自2023年10月7日哈马斯发动袭击以来的首次大选之际，安全问题成为竞选活动的重点议题。
The incident heightened security fears in Israel weeks before Israelis vote on Oct 27, in the first general election since the Hamas-led attacks on Oct 7, 2023, with Israel's security featuring prominently in the campaigning.
美国和以色列于2月份对伊朗发动了打击，这场战争迅速蔓延到了海湾地区和黎巴嫩；在黎巴嫩，以色列一直在与得到伊朗支持的激进组织真主党作战。
The US and Israel launched strikes against Iran in February, in a war that quickly spread to the Gulf and Lebanon, where Israel has been fighting Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
自今年遭到伊朗攻击以来，阿联酋加强了与以色列的关系；两国之间的外交联系正是通过2020年签署的《亚伯拉罕协议》建立的。
Since coming under attack by Iran this year, the UAE has strengthened its relationships with Israel, with which it opened ties as a result of the 2020 Abraham Accords.
