香港航空公司全面禁止Note 7登机

HK Express, Cathay Pacific, Dragonair and Hong Kong Airlines prohibited Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones to be carried on board the flights on Saturday, Oct. 15.

10月15日星期六，香港快运、国泰航空、港龙航空、以及香港航空宣布禁止三星Note 7手机登机。

This follows an emergency order by the United States’ Department of Transportation banning all Samsung Galaxy Note 7 handsets from air transportation over or in the U.S. and Canadian airspace.

在此之前，美国运输部已经下达了紧急命令，禁止所有三星Note 7手机登上飞越美国和加拿大领空的飞机。

The possibility of the phones overheating has caused the airlines to move swiftly, initially suggesting passengers set their phones off and do not connect to a power source, and now introducing the total ban.

三星Note 7手机过热的可能性导致了多家航空公司迅速采取行动，最初它们建议乘客们保持手机关机、并且不要给Note 7充电，而现在则对Note 7手机下达了全面禁令。

HK Express stated, "The safety of our guests and crew is our top priority. All Samsung Note 7 mobile devices are prohibited on all HK Express flights effective immediately. Guests may not carry on or check-in these devices."

据香港快运表示：“乘客和机组人员安全是我们的最优先事项。所有三星Note 7手机都禁止登上香港快运的航班，此禁令立即生效。乘客们不能携带Note 7，也不能带其过安检。”

Earlier this week, Samsung announced to recall 190,984 Note 7 smartphones in the Chinese mainland market.

本周早些时候，三星宣布在中国大陆召回190984台三星Note 7手机。

There has only been one known incident of defective phone overheating on-board an aircraft, but with nearly 100 phones combusting and potentially causing injuries, Samsung has globally recalled the products and ended any more production of the phones.

尽管因为Note 7手机缺陷而在飞机上过热起火的事件只有一例，但是Note 7起火燃烧和可能造成伤害的事故已经发生了近100起，三星已经对该手机进行了全球召回，并且停止了Note 7的生产。
