Abalingani beTrans-Atlantic Delta Air Lines futhi I-KLM Royal Dutch Airlines bethula izindiza ezihlolwe yi-COVID ezisuka e-Atlanta ziya e-Amsterdam, kusukela ngoDisemba 15. Abalingani bezindiza basebenze nohulumeni waseDashi, i-Amsterdam Airport Schiphol kanye neHartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport ukuletha isikhungo esiphelele Covid-19 Uhlelo lokuhlola oluzovumela amakhasimende afanelekile ukuthi akhululwe ekuhlukanisweni lapho efika ngemuva kokuthola imiphumela emibi yokuhlolwa kwe-PCR lapho efika eNetherlands.
UPieter Elbers, uMongameli ne-CEO ye-KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, uthe, “Lesi yisinyathelo esibaluleke kakhulu futhi esihle kakhulu esiya phambili. Kuze kube kutholakala umuthi wokugoma osebenzayo emhlabeni wonke, lolu hlelo lokuhlola lumelela isinyathelo sokuqala sokululama kwemboni yezokuvakasha yamazwe omhlaba. Ngiyabonga ngokusebenzisana okwakhayo nabalingani bethu iDelta Air Lines kanye neSchiphol Group futhi ngithole ukwesekwa nguhulumeni waseDashi ukwenza lolu cwaningo lomgwaqo oluyingqayizivele olungena-COVID mahhala.
“Zonke izinhlaka ezithintekayo kumele zisebenzisane ngendlela ehlelekile yokuhlola ngokushesha nokwakha lezi zivivinyo kumuzwa wabagibeli, ngakho-ke izinyathelo zokuhlukaniswa kwabantu zingasuswa ngokushesha okukhulu. Lokhu kubalulekile ukubuyisa ukuzethemba kwabagibeli nohulumeni ekuhambeni ngezindiza. ”
Izindiza ezihlolwe yi-COVID zizosebenza amahlandla amane ngesonto ukusuka e-Atlanta kuya e-Amsterdam, iDelta neKLM zisebenzisa amaza amabili lilinye. Abagibeli kuphela abanemiphumela emibi yokuhlolwa abazokwamukelwa ebhodini. Izindiza ziqale zigijime amasonto amathathu futhi, uma ziphumelela, izindiza zinethemba lokudlulisela lolu hlelo nakwezinye izimakethe.
Amakhasimende azokwazi ukukhetha izindiza ezihloliwe yi-COVID lapho bethenga amathikithi abo ku-inthanethi noma bekhetha enye yezindiza ezihlukile zansuku zonke ze-Delta noma ze-KLM phakathi kwe-Atlanta ne-Amsterdam ezingamboziwe ngaphakathi kohlelo lokuzama.
"Ukwakha imihubhe yokuhamba engenawo i-COVID, ngaphezu kwezindlela eziningi zokuphepha nezenhlanzeko esizisebenzisile nge-Delta CareStandard, kuzohlinzeka amakhasimende - neziphathimandla - ukuzethemba okukhulu ukuthi bangahlala bephilile lapho behamba," kusho uSteve Sear, eDelta UMongameli - Iphini Likamongameli Lamazwe Ngamazwe Neliphethe - Ukuthengiswa Komhlaba Wonke. "IDelta isebenze nozakwethu neziphathimandla zezempilo ukuvula isibhakabhaka ngokuphepha nokuqhubeka nokuhamba ngezindiza emhlabeni wonke kuze kube kuba khona umuthi wokugoma osusa isidingo sokuhlukaniswa."
Izidingo zokungena eNetherlands ngokuvamile zifaka izinsuku eziyishumi zokuhlukaniswa. Kodwa-ke, ngokugcwalisa ukuhlolwa kwe-PCR okungekuhle ezinsukwini ezinhlanu ngaphambi kokufika eNetherlands nokuzihlukanisa kuze kube sekuhamba, amakhasimende angakhetha ukuqedela ukwahlukaniswa ngaphambi kwendiza yabo ehambayo. Akunakubekwa bodwa ukuhlukaniswa okuzodingeka lapho ufika lapho ikhasimende lihlola ukuthi alinalutho ngokuhlolwa kwe-PCR kwesibili esikhumulweni sezindiza iSchiphol.
Le protocol entsha izotholakala kuzo zonke izakhamizi ezivunyelwe ukuya eNetherlands ngezizathu ezibalulekile, njengokusebenza okuthile okucacisiwe, izizathu zezempilo nezemfundo Amakhasimende ahamba edlula e-Amsterdam aya kwamanye amazwe kusazodingeka ukuthi alandele izidingo zokungena nanoma yikuphi okuphoqelekile ukuhlukaniswa endaweni lapho beya khona.

Sibonga uhulumeni waseDashi nozakwethu ”
Ukundiza ezindizeni ezihlolwe yi-COVID ze-Delta ne-KLM ezisuka e-Atlanta ziye e-Amsterdam, amakhasimende azodinga:
- Thatha ukuhlolwa kwe-COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) ezinsukwini eziyi-5 ngaphambi kokufika e-Amsterdam.
- Thatha i-antigen esheshayo ngaphambi kokugibela esikhumulweni sezindiza e-Atlanta.
- Thatha ukuhlolwa kwe-PCR ngqo lapho ufika eSchiphol.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- The airline partners have worked with the Dutch government, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to deliver a comprehensive COVID-19 testing program that will allow eligible customers to be exempt from quarantine on arrival after receiving a negative PCR test result on landing in the Netherlands.
