2014年09月02日

港龍航空今天宣布，由二○一四年九月十五日香港時間早上八時開始，所有航班的乘客再無須於航班起飛及降落時段關閉部分手提電子器材。

新指引所適用的個人手提電子器材包括：

• 手提/智能電話、平板電腦、電子書閱讀器及電子手帳等，必須設定至「飛行安全/航空」模式，並關上無線上網、藍牙及其他傳輸功能。
• 手提遊戲機。
• 媒體播放器，例如MP3/MP4、錄音機、耳筒及iPod。
• 手提攝錄器材，例如相機、小型錄影機及攝錄機。

所有手提電子器材不可於航班起飛及降落時段接駁至客艙的電源插座。而遵照現時規定，體積較大的電子器材，包括手提電腦及筆記本型電腦，須在航機起飛和降落時段保持關閉及妥善放好。所有寄艙電子器材亦必須關閉電源。

港龍航空是隨著香港民航處修訂使用手提電子器材條例，延長部分手提電子器材於航班上的使用時限。

港龍航空行政總裁丘應樺表示：「港龍航空承諾不斷提升產品及服務，以滿足乘客的需求。我們歡迎香港民航處修訂有關航班起飛及降落時使用手提電子器材的條例。這與我們致力為乘客提供最佳旅遊體驗的目標相吻合，深信乘客會樂見此安排。」

由二○一四年九月十五日起，乘客可於港龍網站內「旅程資訊」一欄，查閱有關使用手提電子器材的最新資訊。

Dragonair passengers given more time to use electronic devices inflight

02 Sep 2014

Dragonair has announced that from 15 September 2014 8am Hong Kong time, passengers travelling on its flights will no longer be required to switch off certain portable electronic devices during takeoff and landing.

The personal electronic devices that qualify for extended usage include:

• Mobile phones, tablets, iPads, eBooks and PDAs which need to be in “Flight Safe/Airplane” mode with the cellular transmission, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions disabled.
• Handheld games consoles.
• Media players such as MP3/MP4 players, audio recorders, audio headsets and iPods.
• Handheld photographic and video equipment such as cameras, mini-video players and camcorders.

During takeoff and landing, passengers’ devices should not be plugged into the aircraft’s utility electrical power supply outlets. As per the current requirement, larger electronic devices such as laptops and notebooks must be switched off and stowed away for takeoff and landing. Any devices packed into checked luggage must always have the power turned off.

The extension to the use of portable electronic devices onboard Dragonair flights follows amendments to the regulations governing the use of such devices by the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department (HKCAD).

Dragonair Chief Executive Officer Algernon Yau said: “At Dragonair we are committed to continuously improving the products and services we provide to our customers. We welcome the HKCAD move to amend its regulations on the use personal electronic devices during takeoff and landing. This aligns with our own efforts to make the whole journey more relaxing and pleasurable and we are sure it will be appreciated by our customers.”

Details of the use of portable electronic devices can be found on the “Travel Information” section at the Dragonair website from 15 September 2014.
