香港航空公司全面禁止Note 7登機

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，香港快運、國泰航空、港龍航空、以及香港航空宣佈禁止三星Note 7手機登機。

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，美國運輸部已經下達了緊急命令，禁止所有三星Note 7手機登上飛越美國和加拿大領空的飛機。

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手機過熱的可能性導致了多家航空公司迅速採取行動，最初它們建議乘客們保持手機關機、並且不要給Note 7充電，而現在則對Note 7手機下達了全面禁令。

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."

據香港快運表示：“乘客和機組人員安全是我們的最優先事項。所有三星Note 7手機都禁止登上香港快運的航班，此禁令立即生效。乘客們不能攜帶Note 7，也不能帶其過安檢。”

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

本週早些時候，三星宣佈在中國大陸召回190984臺三星Note 7手機。

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.

儘管因為Note 7手機缺陷而在飛機上過熱起火的事件只有一例，但是Note 7起火燃燒和可能造成傷害的事故已經發生了近100起，三星已經對該手機進行了全球召回，並且停止了Note 7的生產。
