中國時報【王嘉源、黃文正╱綜合報導】

德國廉價航空「德國之翼」客機,24日墜毀於法國南部阿爾卑斯省山區,據該公司表示,機上有16名德國中學生和2位老師,這些學生和老師赴西班牙參加了一個交流項目,隨後搭乘本次航班要返回德國,該校校長在得知墜機消息後,立即宣布停課,該校原本預計今天開學。另外,機上還有2名嬰兒。

母公司漢莎航空表示:「我們很遺憾地確認…航班在法國失事,航班上搭載144名乘客及6名機組員。漢莎航空以及德國之翼對此事件深表震驚及遺憾,並為本次航空所有乘客及機組人員深切祈禱。」

機上乘客依國籍分,以德國67人最多,其次是西班牙45人。德國總理梅克爾表示,她25日將親自飛往法國阿爾卑斯山區的墜機地點,實地了解這起令德國、法國和西班牙陷入「巨大悲傷」的墜機事故。梅克爾將取消一切其他安排,關注事件後續動態。

西班牙總理拉荷伊在推特上說:「我對阿爾卑斯山區墜機意外深感震驚,這是一大悲劇。我們正與法國和德國合作調查。」

他說,他已和德國總理梅克爾,以及正在法國進行首次國是訪問的西班牙國王菲利普六世電話聯繫。菲利普六世稍後宣布縮短訪問行程,即刻返國協助處理善後。他才剛抵達巴黎幾個小時就決定取消行程。

法國議會默哀1分鐘。

馬來西亞航空公司官方推特發文稱,馬航「為4U9525航班上的家庭與朋友們祈禱。德國之翼,我們與你同在,要堅強」。

A Germanwings Airbus A320 (file image) Airliner crashes in French Alps

A Germanwings Airbus A320 with 144 passengers and six crew crashes in the French Alps near Digne, aviation officials say, with no survivors likely.

An Airbus A320 airliner has crashed in the French Alps between Barcelonnette and Digne, French aviation officials and police have said.

The jet belongs to the German airline Germanwings, a subsidiary of Lufthansa.

The plane, flight 4U 9525, had been en route from Barcelona to Duesseldorf with 144 passengers and six crew.

French President Francois Hollande said: "The conditions of the accident, which have not yet been clarified, lead us to think there are no survivors."

Mr Hollande said the crash was a tragedy, adding that the area was very difficult to access.

Mr Hollande later called German Chancellor Angela Merkel to express his sympathy, the French presidency said.

The plane issued a distress call at 10:47 (09:47 GMT), the French interior ministry said, although details have not been released.

Search-and-rescue teams are headed to the crash site at Meolans-Revels, said regional council head Eric Ciotti.

Although it began its life as an independent low-cost carrier, Germanwings is wholly owned by its parent Lufthansa.

It operates increasing numbers of the group's point-to-point short-haul routes and takes many passengers from German cities to Mediterranean sunspots.

The airline has an excellent safety record with no previously reported accidents. The average age of its Airbus fleet is just over nine years old, though flight 4U 9525 was a 24-year-old A320.

The plan was to phase out the Germanwings brand and replace it with Eurowings. There has been a longstanding dispute with the Vereinigung Cockpit union over early retirement. Pilots went on strike for three days around this time last year.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said he had sent Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve to the scene and a ministerial crisis cell had been set up to co-ordinate the incident.

The interior ministry said debris had been located at an altitude of 2,000m (6,500ft).

Spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet told BFM TV that it would be "an extremely long and extremely difficult'' search-and-rescue operation because of the remoteness.

Lufthansa chief executive Carsten Spohr tweeted: "We do not yet know what has happened to flight 4U 9525. My deepest sympathy goes to the families and friends of our passengers and crew.

"If our fears are confirmed, this is a dark day for Lufthansa. We hope to find survivors."

The Airbus A320 is a single-aisle passenger jet popular for short- and medium-haul flights.
