Boeing jet is forced to turn around MID-AIR after Britain bans 737 MAX planes following Ethiopia disaster, as rest of Europe and India follows suit

埃航空难后，英国禁止波音737 MAX进入其领空，被迫在空中掉头。欧洲其他国家和印度纷纷效仿

Two Boeing jets heading for Britain have turned around mid-air after the UK barred 737 Max planes from its airspace following the Ethiopia disaster.

在埃航空难后，英国禁止737 Max飞机进入其领空，两架飞往英国的波音飞机被迫在空中掉头。英国航空主管机构于今日做出了这一决定。

British aviation chiefs made the decision today after an Ethiopian Airlines aircraft crashed on Sunday killing all 157 on board - the second disaster involving the Max 8 model in under five months.

周日，埃塞俄比亚航空公司的一架飞机坠毁，机上157人全部遇难，这是近5个月内Max 8机型发生的第二起空难。

As the restrictions were announced this afternoon, two Turkish Airlines aircraft - one bound for Gatwick and the other to Birmingham - turned back while flying over Europe.

今天下午，随着禁令的宣布，两架土耳其航空公司的飞机——一架飞往盖特威克机场，另一架飞往伯明翰——在飞越欧洲上空时返航。

Britain's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said the carrier turned its planes back so they would not get stuck in the UK when the ban came into force at 1pm. The airline said it was grounding all 12 Boeing Max planes in its fleet until further notice.

英国民航局(CAA)表示，下午1点禁令生效，该航空公司已将其飞机调回，以免在禁令生效后困在英国。该航空公司表示，在接到进一步通知之前，将停飞全部12架波音737 Max飞机。

Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, Holland, Iceland and India all followed suit after Britain's decision today, before the EU's aviation agency announced a complete suspension of 737 Max 8 and Max 9 flights in Europe.

在英国做出决定后，德国、法国、意大利、爱尔兰、荷兰、冰岛和印度也纷纷效仿。之后，欧盟航空机构宣布，波音 737 Max 8和Max 9航班在欧洲全部停飞。

Today Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde Gebremariam said the pilot had reported 'flight control problems' before the crash.

埃塞俄比亚航空公司CEO沃尔德·格布雷马里亚姆今天表示，飞行员在坠机前报告了“飞行控制问题”。

That could mean the plane's equipment was not responding to the pilot's attempts to bring it under control, CNN reported.

据CNN报道，这可能意味着飞机的设备未对飞行员试图控制飞机的操作做出反应。

Tui Airways has the only five Max 8 aircraft operated by a UK-based airline, and confirmed the planes have been grounded following the CAA's decision.

土耳其航空公司英国航线运营5架波音Max 8，并证实已按照英国民航局的决定，下令停飞这些飞机。

Norwegian Air, the other major operator of Max 8s in the UK, confirmed they too had suspended flights with the jets following a recommendation from European aviation authorities.

挪威航空是在英国运营波音Max 8的另一家主要运营商，也证实在欧洲航空当局的建议下，他们停飞了这一机型的航班。

Boeing's stock fell 3.2 to $387.10 minutes after the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange today, adding to a 5 per cent decline on Monday.

在纽约证券交易所今日开盘几分钟后，波音股价下跌3.2%，至387.10美元，周一下跌5%。

Today India's Jet Airways joined airlines in Mexco, Ethiopia, Brazil and South Africa in resolving to keep their Max 8s in hangers pending safety reviews.

今天，印度捷特航空公司加入了墨西哥、埃塞俄比亚、巴西和南非的航空公司的行列，决定在安全审查之前停飞其波音Max 8停在机库中。

And this evening the Indian government announced it is immediately grounding all Boeing 737 Max 8 planes after Sunday's Ethiopian Airlines crash.

A statement late Tuesday says the planes will be grounded until appropriate modifications and safety measures are undertaken to ensure their safe operations.

今天晚间，印度政府宣布，在周日埃航坠机事件后，将立即停飞所有波音737 Max 8。在其星期二晚间发表的一份声明中表示，这些飞机将停飞，直到采取适当的修改和安全措施，确保它们的安全飞行。

The statement does not say how many planes are affected.

声明未提及有多少架飞机受到影响。

India says it continues to 'consult closely with regulators around the world, airlines and aircraft manufacturers to ensure passenger safety.'

印度表示，它将继续与世界各地的监管机构、航空公司和飞机制造商密切磋商，以确保乘客安全。

No U.S. airlines have grounded the Boeing 737 Max 8 models that they fly, but at least one group representing flight attendants at a major carrier says it does not want to put its members on the plane until further investigations are completed.

目前尚未有美国航空公司停飞其运营的波音737 Max 8，但是至少有一个代表一家主要航空公司空乘人员的团体表示，在进一步调查完成之前，他们不想让自己的成员登机。

Canadian Transport Minister Marc Garneau, meanwhile says 'all options are on the table' with regard to the country's fleet of the jets.

与此同时，加拿大交通部长马克·加尔诺表示，他没有让加拿大的737 MAX 8客机停飞的计划，只是称“所有选择都摆在桌面上”。

Australia and South Korea have suspended 737 MAX aircraft operations while Singapore issued the same orders at its busy Changi airport. Indonesia grounded its fleets and Vietnam said it would not grant licences for the jet until the cause of Sunday's crash was determined.

澳大利亚和韩国暂停了737 MAX机型的运营，新加坡也在繁忙的樟宜机场下达了同样的指令。印尼停飞了该机型，越南则表示，在周日坠机原因确定之前，不会给这一机型颁发许可。

In Britain, a spokesperson for the Civil Aviation Authority said: 'As we do not currently have sufficient information from the flight data recorder we have, as a precautionary measure, issued instructions to stop any commercial passenger flights from any operator arriving, departing or overflying UK airspace.

英国民航局的一位发言人表示:“由于我们目前没有从飞行数据记录器中获得足够的信息，作为预防措施，我们已经发出指示，禁止任何航空公司的波音 737MAX8客机抵达、离开或飞越英国领空。”

'The UK Civil Aviation Authority's safety directive will be in place until further notice.

英国民用航空局的安全指示将持续生效，直至另行通知。

copernicus.gallilei, oslo, Norway, 3 hours ago

Ban them. I do not believe that a software bug will address the issue this is just smoke and mirrors. The plane is simply not safe. The probability of failure in a highly safety aircraft should be lower than 0.000000001 per hour of flight, which means a fatal failure shall never occur in the lifetime of the fleet. They need to put out for public, two detailed reports for the two crashes in six months.

全部禁飞。我不相信一个软件错误就能解释这个问题，这就是糊弄人。这架飞机根本不安全。一架高度安全的飞机每小时飞行失败的概率应低于0.000000001，这意味着在服务周期内不会发生致命故障。他们需要向公众公布6个月内两次坠机事故的详细报告。

Or is it just an opportunity to display anti-Americanism ? This tragedy is under investigation, the cause will be determined and if it's deemed to be a computer issue Boeing will rectify it in all other models of this aircraft type.

Flying is the safest way of travelling - but 2 crashes in 5 months, of exactly the same new model, must raise concerns. If they hadn't been grounded, so many passengers would have refused to fly in them, that they wouldn't be of any use anyway.
