A Chinese aircraft was forced to delay its landing after two air traffic controllers nodded off, reports said Tuesday, sparking a wave of online anger about airline safety.
本周二消息,两名空管打瞌睡导致一架中国飞机被迫延迟降落,此事引起网上对航空安全的愤慨。
The Boeing 737 was preparing to land at Wuhan airport in central China but had no response from the air traffic control tower for 12 minutes, reports said.
报道称,这架波音737客机预备在武汉机场降落时,连续12分钟无法从空管塔台收到任何回应。
Contact was eventually made and China Eastern Airlines flight MU2528 from Sanya landed safely, the Sina.com news portal said.
新浪资讯称双方最后恢复联络,这架从三亚出发的东方航空MU2528航班终于安全降落。
"Because air traffic control was asleep on duty, (the plane) called many times," civil aviation authorities said in a statement,"but there was no reply, and no contact could be made with the control tower."
民航管理局在声明中指出,“因塔台管制员在岗位上睡着,多次呼叫无人应答,未能与塔台建立联系。”
The incident happened on July 8 and the statement was dated July 29.
这一事件发生在7月8日,声明于7月29日发布。
