IMalaysia Association Tour Agency (MATA) inxusa i-International Air Transport Association (IATA) ukuthi isuse yonke imali kumalungu e-MATA. Njengoba i-World Health Organisation (i-WHO) isimemezele i-COVID-19 njengobhadane, imingcele yokuhamba ibekiwe emhlabeni jikelele.

Imicimbi emikhulu ikhanseliwe futhi izinkulungwane zamabhizinisi zimile.

2.0 Umthelela wezezimali kumalungu ethu kusuka ku-COVID-19 ungavikeleka ngokuyekisa okulandelayo:
2.1. I-IATA isuse izimali zobulungu ezingama-2021
2.2. IATA ukukhipha imali ekhokhwa njalo ngenyanga engu-2020 (Januwari - Disemba 2020)
2.3 Ukwelula ukuthunyelwa kwama-akhawunti acwaningiwe kwangama-2019 kuye kuDisemba 2020

Lesi sinyathelo sizosiza amalungu ethu abeke ukwesekwa okuqinile ku-IATA eminyakeni eyedlule. Njengoba i-IATA ibikezele ukuthi u-50% wawo wonke amabhizinisi ezindiza azonyamalala kulo nyaka emhlabeni wonke, sikholwa ukuthi i-IATA ingenza okuthile ukusiza amalungu ethu ukuba avale iminyango yawo. Njengoba lesi kuyisimo esivelele sethemba ukuthi i-IATA nayo izothatha isinyathelo esihlukile sokuyekela lezi zimali ezingenhla.
UMATA unxusa ukuthi lesi yisikhathi sokuba bonke ababambiqhaza embonini yezokuvakasha basebenze ngokubambisana ukuze basekele le mboni, njengoba manje sibhekene nenkinga enkulu emlandweni wezokuvakasha. Uma ihluleka, i-IATA ingahle ilahlekelwe yibhizinisi elengeziwe njengoba sizokweluleka amalungu ethu ukuthi angabuvuseleli ubulungu bawo be-IATA.

LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:

MATA urge this is the time for all stakeholders in the travel industry to work together to uphold the industry, as we are now experiencing the biggest crisis in tourism history.
Since IATA has forecasted that 50% of all airline business will disappear this year throughout the world, we believe that IATA can do something to help our members from closing their doors.
As this is an exceptional situation we hope IATA would also take an exceptional move to waive the above fees.
