又出事故!印度一787客機起飛不久後墜毀,波音股價應聲暴跌
格隆匯 06-12 21:27

一架787-8“夢想客機”突發空難,波音的境遇“雪上加霜”。

曾發出求救信號

今日,印度航空公司的一架787-8“夢想客機”在艾哈邁達巴德起飛後不久墜毀,該飛機原計劃飛往倫敦。

據瞭解,飛機起飛後不久進入緩慢下降階段,起落架仍處於展開狀態,墜毀後爆炸成一個巨大的火球。

該飛機的機長、副機長分別Sumeet Sabharwal和Clive Kundar,兩人的飛行時長達到8200小時、1100小時。

印度民航局透露,機長曾在起飛後立即向空中交通管制員發出了求救信號。接收到信號後,管制員嘗試溝通,但此時已無人迴應

據印度航空公司稱,機上乘客中有169人爲印度公民,53人爲英國公民,1人爲加拿大公民,7人爲葡萄牙公民。

另有消息稱,機上乘客中包含11名兒童和2名嬰兒,還有2名飛行員和10名機組人員,機上總計242人。

墜機地點位於一個居民區,這意味着事故造成的死亡人數可能更高。

印度CNN News-18電視臺報道稱,飛機墜毀在一家醫學院宿舍,多名醫學院學生也遇難。

首次墜毀事故

787夢想客機是波音公司最先進的現役飛機,由於使用輕質複合材料,燃油效率更高,因此深受航空公司歡迎。

根據航空安全網絡數據庫,這是該機型自2011年開始商業飛行以來的首次墜毀事故。

Flightradar24稱,週四墜毀的這架飛機於2013年首次飛行,並於2014年1月交付給印度航空,機齡近12年,由兩臺通用電氣公司的GEnx發動機驅動。

事故發生後,波音表示:“已獲悉初步報告,正在努力收集更多信息。

通用電氣航空航天公司表示,正在組建一支應急響應小組前往印度協助調查。

受此次事件影響,波音公司股價在盤前交易中一度下跌約8%,至196.75美元。 

在此之前,波音的飛機曾多次出現事故,並導致人員傷亡,使其備受爭議。

去年1月5日,美國阿拉斯加航空公司一架波音737 MAX 9型客機起飛後不久發生事故,機艙中間的內嵌式應急門在飛行中脫落,導致機艙快速減壓。隨後的12月29日,一架波音737-800客機在韓國機場着陸時偏離跑道併發生爆炸,機上181人中僅有2名機組人員生還,其餘179人全部遇難。

IG 集團分析師Chris Beauchamp認爲:“這是對這一事件的下意識反應,人們對近年來困擾波音飛機和波音自身的問題的擔憂有所加深。”
