印尼連城航空飛行員酒後登機失態遭解僱

An Indonesian budget airline has fired a pilot suspected of trying to fly a plane while he was drunk, and two of its executives are resigning.

印尼一家提供廉價服務的航空公司於日前解僱了一名醉酒仍試圖駕駛飛機的飛行員，另有兩名高管辭職。

Citilink President Director Albert Burhan announced last Friday that he and the airline's production director would resign over the impropriety.

事發後，連城航空首席執行官艾伯特·布爾漢於上週五宣佈，他和另一位負責人將辭職。

Citilink is a subsidiary of national flag carrier Garuda Indonesia.

連城航空是印尼鷹航航空旗下的子公司。

Passengers became suspicious when they heard slurred words and unclear announcements from the cockpit. Some of them left the plane and asked for a replacement of the pilot they believed to be either drunk or under drug influence.

事發時，機上乘客在聽到駕駛艙內含混不清的言辭後開始不安起來，他們認爲這個飛行員不是喝醉了就是涉嫌吸毒，部分乘客下機要求更換駕駛員。

Citilink assigned a new pilot to fly the Airbus A320 about an hour behind schedule. The flight had 154 passengers but a number reportedly decided to cancel.

隨後，連城航空指定了另一名駕駛員完成了本次空客A320的飛行任務。本次航班原本有乘客154名，不過據說很大一部分乘客最終退票了。

The flight was heading from Surabaya, Indonesia's second-largest city, to the capital, Jakarta.

這次航班是從印尼的第二大城市蘇臘巴亞（泗水市）飛往首都雅加達的。

Aviation is a main mode of travel in the sprawling nation of 17,000 islands, and the incident has raised safety concerns.

乘飛機是在這個有着17000個小島的國家旅行最主要的方式，本次事故引發了人們對飛行安全的擔憂。

Footage posted on YouTube showed the pilot appearing to stagger through a metal detector at a security checkpoint. Security guards picked up his belongings that were falling on the floor as he seemed out of control.

根據上傳到YouTube的視頻顯示，這名駕駛員踉蹌地通過機場安檢口的金屬探測儀。他看起來不太清醒，安檢人員幫忙撿起他落到地上的物品，

"The pilot had committed serious violation of standard operation procedure that endangered passengers," Burhan said. "We apologize for the discomfort. I have to be responsible for that and therefore I and my production director resign."

布爾漢稱：“這名飛行員嚴重違反了標準作業規範，置乘客安全於不顧，我們爲此道歉。我本人也得爲此負責，所以我和另一名總監選擇辭職。”
