國際中心綜合報導

英國倫敦史坦斯特機場(Stansted Airport)30日發生火燒車意外,一臺停在航廈前方的接駁巴士熊熊火焰包圍。目擊者表示,烈焰「完全摧毀」那臺巴士。消防員則說,機場大樓的正面幾乎全被濃煙損毀。火勢當地時間下午5時(臺灣時間31日凌晨0時)被撲滅,但機場仍宣佈30日午夜前的航班全數取消。

照片中可見,整臺巴士變成一團火球,火勢撲滅後車體只剩骨架空氣也被濃煙染成深灰色旅客候機室都能看見大片煙霧。史坦斯特機場表示,起火原因是巴士的引擎故障,沒有人在事故中受傷。

機場官方推特不斷髮文更新情況,其中一則指出,機場31日會重新開放,航班也會恢復正常,但尚未公佈確切時間。

根據BBC報導,機場正在協助旅客安排班機。事逢復活節連假,許多人準備搭機返鄉,此次意外添了不少麻煩。

#UPDATE Following the earlier incident involving a shuttle bus fire on the terminal forecourt, we confirm that the Airport will be open tomorrow and flights are expected to operate as normal. Passengers are advised to check the latest flight information with their airlines.
