阿拉伯的主要机场将在另行通知之前限制航空旅行,因为胡塞武装的持续袭击促使政府延长了限制措施,实际上切断了利雅得航空公司的主要入口。
Arabia’s main airport will curtail air travel until further notice after continued attacks from Houthi rebels prompted the government to extend restrictions, effectively cutting off Riyadh’s main entry point for airlines.
根据一份所谓的《飞行员通告》,哈立德国王国际机场已通知航空公司,任何起降都需要事先许可。机场还表示,在紧急情况下也不能作为备用机场使用。
King Khalid International Airport has notified airlines that any landings or departures will require prior permission, according to a so-called Notice to Airmen advisory. The airport also said it cannot be used as an alternative in case of emergencies.
在过去几周里,该枢纽遭到严重袭击,建筑物受损,至少有一架飞机被毁。多家航空公司因袭击而暂停航班,包括卡塔尔航空,该公司周一宣布暂停飞往利雅得的航班直至10月24日,并减少飞往吉达的航班。
The hub has come under severe attacks in the last few weeks, damaging buildings and destroying at least one aircraft. Several carriers have halted flights in the wake of the attacks, including Qatar Airways, which on Monday suspended operations to Riyadh until Oct. 24 and reduced flights to Jeddah.
其他航空公司也暂时削减了对该机场的航班,包括阿提哈德航空,以及印度的阿卡萨航空和印度航空。
Other airlines have also cut operations to the airport for the time being, including Etihad Airways, as well as India’s Akasa Air and Air India.
民用航空总署和哈立德国王国际机场的代表周一确认,机场仍处于关闭状态,目前没有明确的重新开放计划。
Representatives working for the General Authority of Civil Aviation and King Khalid International Airport confirmed the airport was still shut as of Monday, with no clear plans for reopening.
这一决定是在沙特领导的武装力量与武装组织之间的冲突几乎没有缓和迹象的背景下作出的。两份《飞行员通告》均未列出结束日期。敌对行动在周末持续进行,利雅得多次发布空袭警报,也有报道称也门边境附近出现人员死亡。
The decision comes as fighting between Saudi-led forces and the militant group shows little sign of abating. Both notices to airmen show no end date. Hostilities continued over the weekend, with multiple air-raid alerts in Riyadh and fatalities reported near the Yemeni border.
利雅得空中交通的持续中断对沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼构成重大挑战,他将于下周欢迎外国嘉宾来到首都,参加王国的旗舰投资活动,即FII。
The continued halt of Riyadh air traffic presents a significant challenge to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is next week due to welcome foreigners to the capital for the kingdom’s flagship investment event, known as FII.
FII的组织者一直在考虑一系列应急措施,以确保会议按计划进行,包括可能将活动改为线上线下混合形式,彭博社曾有此报道。
FII organizers have been considering a range of contingency measures to keep the conference on track, including possibly making the event hybrid, Bloomberg has reported.
利雅得机场的长期关闭实际上切断了该城市与希望直接前往首都的外国人的联系。
An extended closure of the Riyadh airport effectively cuts the city off to foreigners looking to make a direct journey into the capital.
沙特领导的也门部队与伊朗支持的胡塞武装之间的紧张关系始于7月,当时沙特战机袭击了萨那机场的跑道,以阻止从伊朗返回的胡塞代表团降落。
Tensions between Saudi-led forces in Yemen and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels started to flare up in July, when Saudi jets struck the runway of the airport in Sanaa to prevent a Houthi delegation returning from Iran from landing.
本月初,紧张局势进一步升级,当时沙特领导的部队对该民兵发动了全面军事行动,称其目标是消灭该组织。
Hostilities then intensified earlier this month when Saudi-led forces launched a full-scale military campaign against the militia, saying their goal was to eliminate the group.
