| "Mayday, mayday, mayday! Hello, can you hear us? Can you hear us? Can you... over!" |
| Experts say a Juneyao Airline captain whose pilot's license was revoked after he ignored orders to delay a landing may have wanted to save fuel and ensure an on-time arrival, China Economic Weekly reported. |
據《中國經濟周刊》報道，據專家分析，“避讓門”事件中被吊銷飛行執照的吉祥航空機長拒絕執行空管命令、延遲降落，是為了節省燃油和確保正點。 |
| Fuel efficiency and punctuality are becoming two important criteria in determining pilots' income, according to a civil aviation insider. Giving up landing priority would consume more fuel and possibly cause a late arrival. |
民航業內人士透露，燃油效率和正點率均與飛行員的收入密切相關。放棄降落次序、重新排隊將耗費更多燃油，也很可能造成晚點。 |
| On Aug. 13, the Juneyao Airline captain refused to take the orders from the tower to make way for a Qatar Airways jet that broadcasted a distress signal "Mayday". |
8月13日，卡塔爾航空一架班機播報出遇險信號“Mayday”，但該吉祥航空機長拒絕接受塔臺指令、為前者騰出空位。 |

救難信號 |
|
Radio: "Mayday, mayday, mayday! Hello, can you hear us? Can you hear us? Can you... over!" |
“緊急狀況，緊急狀況，緊急狀況！你好，你能聽到我們嗎？你能聽到我們嗎？你能……完畢！” |
※ “Mayday”是國際通用的無線電通話遇難求救訊號，“Mayday”一字原為“救我”的法語“m'aider”，以英語發音變成了“Mayday”。
