【新唐人2011年8月27日訊】中國吉祥航空公司最近得到公眾輿論的矚目，不過，這個被網友形容為「創造了百年航空史的奇蹟」，卻是個讓人瞠目結舌的「奇蹟」，吉祥航空公司寧願冒著兩架飛機可能發生撞機的危險，也不願意避讓。讓我們來看看事發的經過。
8月23號，大陸微博中流傳一條關於「吉祥航空謊報油量拒不避讓，險至卡塔爾班機墜毀」的消息，引起了廣泛關注。消息中說，吉祥航空在卡塔爾航班發出國際急救信號「Mayday」的情況下，不聽從空管指揮，拒絕避讓，最後，卡塔爾班機落地後只剩下5分鐘的油料。
按照國際慣例，術語「Mayday」與「SOS」一樣，都是國際緊急求救信號，一旦被使用，無論哪個國家或組織都能明白：船隻或飛機發生了威脅生命安全的嚴重災難。
這個網帖引發討論，經過多方消息證實，吉祥航空「拒讓」事件確有其事。不過發生的時間是8月13號，事件並沒有被公布。
有網友說，「飛機上天一百年來，至今還沒有發生過飛行員聽到Mayday後不肯讓路的情況。 吉祥航空創造了民航史有史以來第一次有飛機喊『五月天』不避讓的歷史。」
原大陸東航副機長袁勝向《新唐人》表示，航空方面的事故很敏感，當局在報導方面控制很嚴，就怕影響國際形象。
原大陸東航副機長袁勝：「航空方面有些危險、撞機，飛行事故，它都控制很嚴，一有甚麼事情，就馬上把這個電腦封鎖起。然後記者會進不去的，然後他到時會想出一個，統一的一個甚麼報導的方法，然後由個別記者按照上面的意思，按上面的指示，報到甚麼程度，怎麼報法，才報出來。」
25號，網上傳出了一份據說是吉祥航空的安全警示通報（2011年第17期），列出了8月13號吉祥航空拒讓卡塔爾航班的詳細過程。
對此，很多網友都不敢相信，「飛行員應無條件執行航空管制指令的，這個機長居然不聽，應該以故意謀殺罪起訴。」
原中國南方航空職工吳瑞榮：「如果真的造成影響了，那兩個飛機相撞。後果是不堪設想的。這個後果非常嚴重。而且非常可怕的。因為一個飛機上，現在的飛機一般都可以坐100多人，如果兩個飛機相撞，那就是3、4百個生命就沒了，所以你看看這個數字多大，是一個多可怕的後果。」
目前，圍觀的民眾都要求當局公布事件真相。24號，吉祥航空發表了一份聲明聲稱，所涉及的內容民航當局正在調查中，到目前為止並沒有發佈任何調查的結論。
不過結果如何，這起事件已經讓吉祥航空的名譽掃地，有網友感嘆：「吉祥航空，你真不吉祥。以後誰還敢坐你家的飛機。」

Lucky Airlines Unlucky
Recently, Shanghai Juneyao Airlines (Juneyao) became
the focus of public criticism.
Netizens commented that Juneyao Airlines
“created a miracle of aviation history of the century.”
But that was a stunning “miracle."
Juneyao risked a collision, by not giving way to
another plane, which issued a distress call.
Let’s take a look at what happened.
On Aug. 23, a China』s microblog had a rumor about Juneyao.
It said that after a Qatar Airways plane signaled “Mayday”,
Juneyao refused the air traffic controllers』 instructions
and rejected to give way to the Qatar Airways plane.
The Qatar Airways plane finally landed with fuel that could
last for only 5 minutes.
According to the international practice, same as “SOS",
“Mayday" is an international emergency signal.
Once “Mayday" signal is emitted, all should understand that
a life-threatening disaster will soon occur to a vessel or plane.
The online post provoked netizens』 discussions.
Confirmed through multiple sources that Juneyao Airlines』
refusal to give way took place on August 13.
However, the incident hasn』t been reported.
A netizen commented, “In over a hundred years of aviation
history, it never happened that a polite would refuse
to give way to a plane giving Mayday signals.
Juneyao broke a record in China』s civil aviation history.”
Yuan Sheng, ex vice-captain of China Eastern Airlines,
said that aviation accidents are very sensitive.
So, the Chinese authorities tighten the control over such
news reports, fearing an negative international image.
Yuan Sheng (ex-vice-captain of China Eastern Airlines):
The authorities have a very strict control over aviation issues,
including risks, collisions, flight accidents and so on.
Once something happens, they would lock up the data,
so journalists wouldn』t have access to them.
Then they would prepare a standard report on the incident,
and arrange a specific journalist to report accordingly.
On August 25, an alleged Safety Alert Bulletin (No. 17, 2011)
of Juneyao Airlines was being circulated online.
The file detailed the whole process of one plane』s
refusal to give way to a Qatar Airways plane.
Many netizens could not believe such behavior. They said,
“The pilot should』ve unconditionally complied with
the Air Traffic Control』s instructions.
As the captain even refused,
he should be sued for intentional murder.”
Wu Ruirong (ex-employee of China Southern Airline):
If the two aircrafts collided that day, that would be a disaster.
As a plane generally has over 100 people onboard.
If a collision happened, 300-400 lives would be lost.
That would be terrible consequences.
Now people, who are concerned, are calling on
the authorities to tell the truth.
On August 24, Juneyao Airlines said in a statement that
the incident is being investigated by
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC),
so far the results have not yet been released.
Regardless of the investigative results,
the incident has discredited Juneyao Airlines.
The netizen sighed that “Lucky Airline (Juneyao in Chinese),
you』re really unlucky. Who dare take your flight in the future?”
