　　民航资源网2018年9月30日消息：据Aviation Herald报道，9月18日，阿拉伯航空一架空客A320-200飞机（注册号A6-ANV），在执行阿联酋沙迦-阿曼塞拉莱的G9-111航班时，飞机滑行准备从沙迦机场的30号跑道离场。

　　飞机从B14滑行道进入跑道进行交叉离场，但转弯时方向反了，转向了12号跑道方向。B14到12号跑道的起飞距离为1020米/3350英尺，而30号跑道方向的起飞距离则有3010米/9900英尺。

　　机组从B14交叉处沿着12号跑道方向开始起飞，飞机最终成功避开障碍物及时升空，爬升至安全高度，继续飞往塞拉莱并安全降落。

　　9月19日，在沿错误方向交叉离场事件发生之后，阿拉伯航空命令其飞行员，即刻禁止一切交叉离场。

　　涉事的两名飞行员已被停职，等待调查。
An Air Arabia Airbus A320-200, registration A6-ANV performing flight G9-111 from Sharjah (United Arab Emirates) to Salalah (Oman), was taxiing for departure from Sharjah's runway 30, the aircraft entered the runway for an intersection departure from taxiway B14 and turned into direction runway 12 (opposite to intended direction), takeoff distance available from B14 on runway 12 was 1020 meters/3350 feet instead of 3010 meters/9900 feet in direction of runway 30, including the paved runway end safety area a paved surface of 1150 meters/3760 feet was available in direction of runway 12. The crew commenced takeoff from intersection B14 along direction runway 12, managed to become airborne in time to avoid any obstacles, climbed out to safety and continued to Salalah for a landing without further incident.

On Sep 19th 2018 Air Arabia instructed their pilots that all intersection departures were banned with immediate effect after one of their flights took off from an intersection in the wrong direction. The airline further re-iterates that ATC in Sharjah might clear flights to taxi to the runway full length via taxiway B rather than taxiway A, great attention to ATC instructions is needed.

Both pilots have been suspended pending the investigation.
