荷航就机上充电宝起火向检方控告:荷媒称涉事乘客是其前首席执行官厄林斯

荷兰皇家航空(KLM)11月13日表示,已就今年9月一架航班上一名乘客的充电宝在飞行途中起火一事,向荷兰检察机关提出控告。荷兰媒体援引消息人士报道,涉事乘客是荷航前首席执行官卡米尔·厄林斯(Camiel Eurlings)。荷航拒绝确认涉事乘客的身份。路透社当天报道了荷航的这一决定。
事件发生在9月17日。荷航一架从阿姆斯特丹起飞的航班在飞越大西洋上空后返航阿姆斯特丹史基浦机场。据荷兰媒体当时的报道,起火与一名乘客在座位上给充电宝充电有关;航空媒体报道称,涉事航班是飞往库拉索的 KL735 航班,机型为波音777,机组人员扑灭起火后,飞机返航。
荷航表示,这次控告是在内部调查之后提出的;对于乘客严重违反安全规则、危及航班、乘客或机组人员安全的情形,向检方提出控告是该公司的标准做法。
厄林斯2013年7月至2014年10月担任荷航首席执行官。截至发稿,他未回复经领英(LinkedIn)发出的置评请求。荷兰检方尚未决定是否提起指控。
KLM Files Complaint With Prosecutors Over Power Bank Fire on Flight; Dutch Media Say Passenger Was Its Former CEO Eurlings
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines said on November 13 that it had filed a complaint with Dutch prosecutors over an incident in September in which a passenger's power bank caught fire during a flight. Dutch media reported, citing sources, that the passenger was the airline's former chief executive, Camiel Eurlings. KLM declined to identify the individual involved. Reuters reported the airline's move the same day.
The incident took place on September 17, when a KLM flight that had taken off from Amsterdam turned back over the Atlantic Ocean and returned to Schiphol Airport. Dutch media reported at the time that the fire involved a passenger charging a power bank at his seat; aviation outlets reported that the flight was KL735 to Curaçao, operated by a Boeing 777, and that the crew extinguished the fire before the aircraft returned.
KLM said the complaint followed an internal investigation, and that filing a complaint is standard practice for the airline in cases of serious breaches of safety rules by passengers that put a flight, its passengers or its crew at risk.
Eurlings was KLM's chief executive from July 2013 to October 2014. He did not immediately reply to a request for comment sent via LinkedIn. Dutch prosecutors have not yet decided whether to bring charges.
