华盛顿埃弗雷特附近奥运管道的裂缝正在干扰飞往西雅图-塔科马国际机场的喷气式燃料运送,迫使航空公司为可能发生的航班中断做准备。 A crack in the Olympic Pipeline near Everett, Washington, is disrupting jet fuel deliveries to Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, forcing airlines to prepare for potential flight disruptions. 燃料现在由卡车运输,这一进程较慢,造成了延误。 Fuel is now being transported by truck, a slower process that has caused delays. 虽然机场官员说,目前的燃料储备足以避免重大影响,但航空公司可能需要从离境城市运送额外的燃料。 While airport officials say current fuel reserves are sufficient to avoid major impacts, airlines may need to ferry extra fuel from departure cities. 该输油管部分由英国石油公司拥有,在此前9月停电和1999年Bellingham发生爆炸的情况下,该输油管也正在接受审查。 The pipeline, partially owned by BP, is also under scrutiny amid a previous outage in September and a 1999 explosion in Bellingham. 由于政府关闭,空中交通管制人员持续短缺,导致飞行普遍延误和取消,使情况更加复杂。 The situation is compounded by ongoing air traffic control staffing shortages due to a government shutdown, leading to widespread flight delays and cancellations.
