安撫滯留旅客有妙招 機場成立美女啦啦隊

Over 5,000 passengers were stranded at the airport of Dalian City due to dense fog on April 24.

In an effort to calm down these passengers of delayed flights, the airport organized a dance show by cheerleaders.

It was learned the chearleading team was formed by four undergraduates, known as “Basketball Babes” in the university. The team was in fact preparing the aerobic dance for an event for the airport’s flight schedule in summer and autumn.

“It was unexpected that we came across dense fog today. Dancing helps ease the anxiety of the stranded passengers,” said a staff member of the airport.

It seemed the show yielded a good result, as many passengers were attracted to watch.

According to the airport, it was the first ever dancing show done by them under such a circumstance. This has ever occurred in the airports in Singapore and South Korea before.

【新聞背景】

4月24日，大連周水子國際機場因大霧滯留(stranded)旅客5000餘人。

爲穩定(stabilize)旅客情緒，大連機場請來美女啦啦隊員跳操，引來衆多旅客圍觀(attract onlookers)。據悉，大連機場一個月前就開始籌備一支美女啦啦隊(cheerleading)。之所以在機場組建這樣的隊伍，就是爲了在大連霧雨季節，以及特殊天氣(special weather)時，對滯留機場乘客的情緒予以安撫和調節，也是機場人性化服務管理的一種體現，爲“北方機場的首創”。

據機場方面負責人說，這些美女啦啦隊員是在大連各大高校(colleges and universities)挑選出來的，本來還想再籌劃一段時間。但今天大連機場突發大霧(heavy fog)，才使得這支美女啦啦隊提前亮相(debut)。這支啦啦隊今後將會成爲機場服務的一部分。
