Airbus yandisa imisebenzi yayo ye-sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), manje okuhlanganisa nokudiliva izindiza endaweni yayo e-Hamburg, eJalimane. I-Air Transat yethule ama-A321LR amabili amasha ngokuqashisa kwa-AerCap. Bobabili basebenzise inhlanganisela yamafutha endiza engamaphesenti ayi-10 ukuze indize indiza isuka e-Hamburg iya eMontreal, eCanada, ingami.
I-Airbus isivele isungule ngempumelelo izindiza ze-SAF eziphuma e-Hamburg ngendiza yayo yokuthutha i-Beluga kusukela ngoDisemba 2019. Ukulethwa kwezentengiso kwanamuhla kungenye ingqopha-mlando egcizelela ukuzibophezela okuqhubekayo kwe-Airbus ekwehliseni umthelela wemvelo wezokuthutha - okuhlanganisa ukuba ngumkhiqizi wendiza wokuqala onikeza amakhasimende ithuba lokukhetha. ukuthola amajeli amasha anophethiloli oqhubekayo emathangeni awo. Izindiza ezinjalo zokulethwa bezilokhu zikhona kusukela ngo-2016, kusukela esikhungweni sokukhiqiza sekomkhulu le-Airbus e-Toulouse, eFrance, kulandelwa i-Mobile, Alabama, USA.
I-Airbus inikeza le nketho njengengxenye yesu layo lokukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa okujwayelekile kwezibaseli ezisimeme embonini yezokundiza. Uphethiloli wendiza ye-Air Transat's A321LR edilivwe isuka e-Hamburg ahlinzekwe yi-Air bp futhi akhiqizwa yi-Neste.
I-Airbus ne-Air Transat inomlando omude wokubambisana ezindabeni zemvelo. I-Airbus isekele inkampani yezindiza ukuthi yethule uhlelo lwayo lwezemvelo eminyakeni eyi-13 edlule futhi bobabili basebenze ndawonye ezinhlelweni zemvelo ezifana nokuwonga kukaphethiloli. I-Air Transat ibisebenzisa i-Airbus indlela eyodwa futhi indiza ebanzi kusukela ngo-1999.
“Ukusimama nokusebenza kahle kubalulekile kumakhasimende ethu naku-Airbus. Ukuthuthuka okuqhubekayo kukaphethiloli wendiza kuzodlala indima ebalulekile ekwehliseni izinga lemvelo lemboni yezokundiza. Ngokusebenzisa amafutha endiza esimeme ezindizeni zokulethwa nozakwethu abafana ne-AerCap ne-Air Transat, abashayela indiza isuka e-Hamburg iya endaweni yakubo yaseCanada engami, sithatha isinyathelo esibambekayo ukuze sibambe iqhaza ekusaseni lendiza elizinzile,” kusho uChristian Scherer, oyiChief Commercial Officer. I-Airbus.
"Sijabule kakhulu ukuba yingxenye yalesi senzakalo esiyingqopha-mlando, sisebenza ngokubambisana nabalingani bethu e-Airbus kanye nekhasimende lethu lesikhathi eside, i-Air Transat, ukubasiza bahlangabezane nezifiso zabo zokukhula okuqhubekayo," kusho uPhilip Scruggs, uMongameli kanye neChief Commercial. Isikhulu se-AerCap. "I-AerCap izibophezele ekusizeni igxathu elibheke ekuhambeni ngendiza okusimeme okusekelwe kulokho okuhlosiwe ukuze iguqule indiza yayo iye cishe kwezingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zezindiza zobuchwepheshe ezintsha ngo-2021."
"Kuwudumo kithi futhi kuwuphawu lokuzethemba oluvela ku-Airbus ukuba yikhasimende layo lokuqala ukusizakala ngale ndlela entsha yokulethwa embonini yayo yaseHamburg," kusho uJean-François Lemay, uMongameli kanye neMenenja Jikelele, i-Air Transat. "Lolu hlelo luyingxenye yokuzibophezela kwethu ekwehliseni i-carbon footprint yethu ngenkathi sibamba iqhaza ekuzuzweni kwezinhloso zemboni yezindiza ezihlose ukuqeda ikhabhoni."
Kokubili izindiza zanamuhla nezakusasa zokulethwa zizobe zingathathi hlangothi ngenxa yezinsalela zikaphalafini
ingxenye kaphethiloli izonxeshezelwa ngokuthengwa kwamakhredithi ekhabhoni.
"Siyaziqhenya ngokuba ngumthwali wokuqala waseCanada ukusebenzisa izindiza ze-carbon-neutral, futhi sizoqhubeka nokuphishekela ukuzibophezela kwethu ekunikezeni abagibeli bethu isipiliyoni sokuhamba esibheka indawo yethu yemvelo," kusho uMnu Lemay.
