The Inhlangano Yezindiza Yezindiza Yomhlaba Wonke (IATA) kanye ne-International Federation of Air Line Pilots 'Associations (IFALPA) ngokuhlanganyela banxuse ohulumeni ukuba balandele imihlahlandlela ye-International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Council Aviation Recovery Task Force (CART) ukukhulula abasebenzi ekuhlolweni kwe-COVID-19 okusetshenziswa kubahambi bomoya .

Imihlahlandlela ye-CART incoma ngokukhethekile ukuthi abasebenzi bezisebenzi akumele babhekwe ukuhlolwa noma imikhawulo esebenzayo kwabanye abahambi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngokusho kwenqola. Izindlela zokuhlola ezempilo zamalungu abasebenzi kufanele zibe "ezingenasidingo ngangokunokwenzeka."

Ngaphandle kwalesi siqondiso, inani elikhulayo lamazwe lisebenzisa izinyathelo ezifanayo zezempilo yomphakathi kubasebenzi abasetshenziswa emphakathini ojikelezayo. Izinyathelo ezinjalo zifaka ukuhlinzeka ngobufakazi bokuhlolwa okungekho emthethweni kwe-COVID ngaphambi kokuhamba futhi kwezinye izimo ukuhlolwa kwesibili kwe-COVID okungekho kuyadingeka lapho ufika. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izilawuli eziningana zezindiza zomphakathi zivumela kuphela amalungu abasebenzi abanezitifiketi zokuhlolwa ze-PCR ezingezinhle ze-COVID-19 ukuba ziyekelele emazweni abo.

"Lezi zinyathelo aziphikisani nje kuphela nezincomo ezinconyiwe ze-ICAO, ziyahluleka ukubheka ukuthi ukuxhumana nabantu bendawo kuncishisiwe," kusho uGilberto Lopez Meyer, oyiPhini likaMongameli oMkhulu we-IATA, Ezokuphepha kanye Nezindiza. Isibonelo, izisebenzi ezikuma-layover zivame ukukhawulelwa ehhotela. Izinyathelo ezinjalo ziphinde zilishaye indiva iqiniso lokuthi izindiza ezindiza kakade ziyahambisana nezidingo zezinhlelo zezwe lakubo zokuvikela nezokuqapha ukuphatha impilo yabasebenzi, okubandakanya izindlela zokunciphisa ubungozi bokutheleleka.

“Izinyathelo ezisetshenziswa ngamanye amazwe aziphuli nje kuphela umhlahlandlela onconywayo kepha zibeka nengcindezi engadingekile kubasebenzi. Umhlahlandlela ohlinzekiwe wenziwe ngokucophelela ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ukusebenza kungaqhubeka ngaphandle kokubeka engcupheni ukuphepha kwabo bobabili abasebenzi nabagibeli, ”kusho uCaptain Jack Netskar, uMongameli we-IFALPA.

Ngaphezu kokungenelwa nokungaphatheki kahle komzimba kokuhlolwa kwansuku zonke kwe-COVID-19, kukhona ukucatshangelwa okubalulekile kwezindleko. Inkampani yezindiza eyodwa yomhlaba ilinganisele ukuthi izindleko zokuhambisana nalezi zidingo zendiza eyodwa yansuku zonke zingeza kufinyelela ku-US $ 950,000 eyengeziwe ngonyaka.

“Izinkampani zezindiza zizimisele ukutshala imali kwezokuphepha eziletha imiphumela ebonakalayo, kodwa lokho akwenzeki ngezidingo ezihlangene, zokuhlola okungahambisani. Izwe kufanele livume ukuthi iqembu lethu linobungozi obuhlukile kunabagibeli nokuthi ukuguquguquka kwezimo eziningi nokuxegiswa kwezidingo zokuhlolwa kanye / noma nokuvalelwa ngokuvalelwa kungabhekwa njengokubandakanya ukukhululwa, ”kusho uLopez Meyer.

LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:

Such measures also ignore the fact that airlines already comply with the requirements of their home country health protection and monitoring programs to manage crew health, which typically includes measures to reduce the risk of infection.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations (IFALPA) jointly called on governments to follow the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council Aviation Recovery Task Force (CART) guidelines to exempt crews from COVID-19 testing that is applied to air travelers.
