和监管机构在防止类似近期迪拜航空航班上发生的驾驶舱袭击事件方面,所能采取的措施终究有限。航空业必须接受这样一个事实:即便对飞行员进行严格的背景审查,也“不存在绝对的安全保障”。

European airlines and regulators can only do so much to deter cockpit attacks like the one during a recent FlyDubai flight, and the aviation industry must accept there’s “no absolute safety and security” even with stringent vetting of pilots.

瑞安航空控股公司首席执行官迈克尔·奥莱利表示,其公司对求职者会进行详尽的背景调查,但“没有任何系统是完美的”。他于周四在由欧洲航空公司游说团体在布鲁塞尔组织的会议上表示:“不可能完全消除所有这些风险。”

Ryanair Holdings Plc Chief Executive Officer Michael O’Leary said his airline does extensive reference checks on job candidates, but “no system is perfect.”“It is impossible to eliminate all of these risks,” he said Thursday at a meeting organized by the Airlines for Europe lobby group in Brussels.

奥莱利还表示,他“非常不愿”对飞行员和机组人员实施黑名单制度。“那样就做得太过分了,”他说。

O’Leary also would be “very reluctant” to implement blacklists for pilots and crew members.

德国汉莎航空集团首席执行官卡斯滕·斯波尔表示,在保护乘客与保障员工隐私之间,存在一种微妙的平衡。2015年,该航空集团曾发生过一起飞行员谋杀后自杀的事件:其子公司德国之翼航空公司的一架飞机在法国阿尔卑斯山被蓄意撞毁,机上150人全部遇难。

“That would be going too far,” he said.

斯波尔说:“我们必须面对这样一个事实,这个行业不存在绝对的安全保障。如何在安全与隐私之间取得平衡,是监管机构面临的一个极其棘手的问题。”

Deutsche Lufthansa AG CEO Carsten Spohr said there’s a delicate balance between protecting passengers and ensuring the privacy of employees. The airline group experienced a pilot murder-suicide in 2015 when a plane operated by subsidiary Germanwings was deliberately crashed in the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board.

中东地区官员正在调查9月30日迪拜航空一航班险些酿成灾难的经过。当时,一名副驾驶用斧头袭击机长,并试图将飞机撞毁。

“We have to face the fact that there is no absolute safety and security in this industry,” Spohr said. “Our mix is a very difficult area for regulators.”Officials in the Middle East are investigating the circumstances surrounding a Sept. 30 FlyDubai flight that nearly ended in catastrophe when a co-pilot attacked his captain with an ax and tried to crash the plane.

以色列已确认,试图劫持这架从迪拜飞往特拉维夫航班的飞行员是哈马姆·哈马米。数据显示,在乘客和机组人员冲入驾驶舱制服他之前,飞机在30秒内下降了超过14000英尺。

Israel identified Hamam al-Hammami as the pilot who attempted to hijack the flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. The aircraft dropped more than 14,000 feet in 30 seconds, data showed, before passengers and crew rushed in to subdue him.

以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡表示,袭击者来自阿曼,并接受了激进伊斯兰主义的洗脑。据阿联酋官方通讯社WAM报道,阿联酋联邦检察官随后称,该副驾驶试图实施一起“恐怖行动”。

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the attacker was from Oman and underwent radical Islamist indoctrination. The United Arab Emirates’ federal prosecutor subsequently said the co-pilot attempted to carry out a “terrorist operation,” according to state-run news agency WAM.

机上其他飞行员将波音公司生产的737 Max飞机降落在沙特阿拉伯。印度指挥官斯米特·马奇哈正在从严重的刺伤中恢复。

Other pilots on board landed the Boeing Co. 737 Max in Saudi Arabia. The Indian commander, Smit Machchhar, is recovering from severe stab wounds.
