新德里：周五，一架载有136名乘客的印度航空航班降落在马尔代夫马累机场正在施工的跑道上。该航班AI 263在德里-特里凡得琅-马累航区执飞，降落在未经授权的跑道上时，所有人员都安全无事。两名飞行员都已被禁飞，马尔代夫和印度当局将展开调查，以查明这一严重错误是如何发生的。

A tyre of the main landing gear deflated,” said a senior AI official. The aircraft landed at a non-operational runway at Male’s Velana International Airport in the Maldives.

This is the second time in just over a month that a flight operated by an Indian carrier has landed at or tried to take off from a wrong runway at an airport abroad.

这是一个多月来印航运营的航班第二次在国外机场的错误跑道降落或试图起飞。

On August 3, pilots of a Jet Airways Boeing 737 at Riyadh airport attempted to take off using full power from a taxway parallel to the runway from where it was supposed to get air borne for Mumbai. The aircraft then went off the paved area of the taxway and got stuck there. Luckily all the 150 people on board the Jet plane were safe.

8月3日，执行从利雅得飞往印度孟买印度的捷特航空波音737客机在利雅得机场试图从与跑道平行的滑行道上起飞，之后冲到了跑道外的沙地上。幸运的是，机上150人都安然无恙。

“Jet Airways B-737 (VT-JFS) flight (9W) 523 headed to Mumbai with 141 passengers and seven crew members overshot taxway at KKIA (King Khalid International Airport at Riyadh). Initial factual information confirms that the aircraft attempted take off from taxway parallel to take off-designated runway.... The aircraft accelerated with full take off power and exceeded the taxway on to unpaved area ending up close to the ext of taxway,” Saudi Arabia’s Aviation Investigation Bureau had said in a statement. Indian DGCA suspended license of both the pilots.

沙特阿拉伯航空调查局在一份声明中表示：“执飞孟买的捷特航空B-737 (VT-JFS)航班(9W) 523，机上乘客141名和机组人员7名，在利雅得哈立德国王国际机场冲出滑行道。初步证实飞机试图起从与跑道平行的滑行道上起飞。飞机以最大起飞推力加速滑跑，之后冲出滑行道直至接近滑行道出口的未铺筑地面。”印度民航总局暂停了两名飞行员的执照。

This type of laziness and carelessness is the very true culture of Indian workers. Indians do the same types of careless and lazy mistakes in programming and that''s why their work quality is so poor.

这种懒惰和粗心是印度工人真正的文化。印度人在编程时也犯同样粗心的错误，这就是为什么他们的工作质量这么差。
