陸工人維修忘裝螺絲 法航吃驚

旺報【記者慶正╱綜合報導】
法國空中巴士客機驚傳飛安疏失，飛機11月初到中國大陸廈門進行大修，工人維修後竟然忘記安裝30幾顆螺絲；在不知情的情形下，該班機還陸續飛行數日，才發現這一大烏龍。現在連德國漢莎航空公司都想知道，究竟發生了什麼事。
據了解，負責維修飛機的廈門太古飛機工程有限公司，聲譽良好，也是漢莎航空的合作夥伴。報導指出，法航認為沒有理由去懷疑維修公司的工作質量。
法新社引用漢莎航空公司內部調查報告指出，這架4引擎的空中巴士A340在美國波士頓時被發現飛機右翼外殼上少了螺絲，暫時停止營運。這架飛機是在中國大陸廈門完成大修後，11月初在波士頓發現問題。
法航經理弗勒爾坦承，是飛機外表的一個部分，不曾影響飛行安全。他說，這架空中巴士停留在地面幾個小時，補裝固定後，隨即飛回巴黎。「這個相對小的部分和飛機的主要結構無關，也不屬於客艙的部分。」但航空專家提出警告，飛機上有鬆脫的部分都會造成危險。

Nov. 25 (Bloomberg) -- An Airbus SAS A340 operated by Air France-KLM Group was halted in Boston in mid-November after about 30 screws were found to be missing from a protective panel, the airline said.
The long-range plane had undergone maintenance in China, at Taeco-Taikoo Aircraft Engineering and left the facility Nov. 10. It had stopped at Air France’s hub at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris for three days, and the absence of the screws went unnoticed until several days later in Boston, the carrier said.
The panel concerned is located between the fuselage and wing and serves to reduce drag by smoothing out edges.
“At no moment was the safety of the flight in question,” said spokeswoman Marina Tymen in a telephone interview from Paris, where Air France is based.
Taeco is based at Gaoqi International airport in Xiamen, and controlled by Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Co., or Haeco, with a 58.55 percent stake. Boeing Co., Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., Japan Airlines Co. and Xiamen Aviation Industry Co. are also shareholders.
Customers that have their aircraft serviced at Taeco include British Airways, AMR Corp.’s American Airlines, Korean Air and Deutsche Lufthansa AG, according to Taeco’s website.
“We are in the process of gathering information from our colleagues, which may take some time,” Sharon Lun, a spokeswoman for Haeco, said in an e-mail.
The incident was previously reported by an internal union bulletin.
