以色列下令一班飞往特拉维夫的埃塞俄比亚航空航班折返,原因是其中一名机师是印尼人,以色列第12台电视台周一报道。
Israel ordered an Ethiopian Airlines flight bound for Tel Aviv to turn back because one of its pilots was Indonesian, Israel’s Channel 12 reported Monday.
据该台报道,当时飞机正从亚的斯亚贝巴起飞约一小时,仍处于埃塞俄比亚领空时下达了该命令。
The aircraft was about an hour into its flight from Addis Ababa and still in Ethiopian airspace when the order was issued, according to the broadcaster.
第12台电视台称,该机师的国籍已被以色列情报机构和机场当局标记,促使安全部门和交通部禁止该航班降落。
Channel 12 said the pilot's nationality had been flagged to Israeli intelligence and airport authorities, prompting security officials and the Transportation Ministry to bar the flight from landing.
飞机随后返回亚的斯亚贝巴,机师被替换后再次起飞并降落在特拉维夫。
The plane returned to Addis Ababa, where the pilot was replaced, before departing again and landing in Tel Aviv.
埃塞俄比亚航空将此事描述为一次失误,称其不知情该机师被禁止执飞前往以色列的航班,据该台报道。
Ethiopian Airlines described the incident as a mistake, saying it had been unaware that the pilot was barred from operating flights to Israel, according to the report.
第12台电视台还称,以色列当局已指示外国航空公司,不得将与以色列无外交关系国家的机组人员安排在飞往该国的航班上。
Channel 12 also said that Israeli authorities had instructed foreign airlines not to assign crew members from certain countries without diplomatic relations with Israel to flights bound for the country.
该限制适用于阿富汗、阿尔及利亚、印度尼西亚、伊朗、伊拉克、科威特、尼日尔、卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯、索马里和委内瑞拉的国民。埃塞俄比亚和印尼当局目前尚未发表立即评论。
The restrictions cover nationals of Afghanistan, Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Niger, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Venezuela. There was no immediate comment from Ethiopian or Indonesian authorities.
此事发生在9月30日一次对飞往特拉维夫的飞迪拜航班的未遂劫持事件之后。
The incident comes after an attempted hijacking of a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv on Sept. 30.
阿拉伯联合酋长国检方称,一名阿曼籍副机师曾试图夺取飞机控制权并撞向本古里安机场。乘客和机组人员挫败了该企图,飞机最终安全降落在沙特阿拉伯的塔布克。
United Arab Emirates prosecutors said an Omani co-pilot had attempted to seize control of the aircraft and crash it into Ben Gurion Airport. Passengers and crew thwarted the attempt, and the plane landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
