The Inhlangano Yezindiza Yezindiza Yomhlaba Wonke (IATA) kukhishwe ukuhlaziywa okusha okukhombisa ukuthi imboni yezindiza kulindeleke ukuthi ihlale ingenayo imali ngawo wonke unyaka ka-2021. Ukuhlaziywa kwangaphambilini (Novemba 2020) kukhombise ukuthi izindiza zezindiza zizoba nemali enhle kwikota yesine ka-2021. Ezingeni lezimboni, izindiza manje akulindelekile ukuthi zibe yimali kulungile kuze kube ngu-2022.

Ukulinganiselwa kokushiswa kwemali ngo-2021 kubhalile kuya ezigidini ezingama- $ 75 billion kuya ku- $ 95 billion kusuka ku- $ 48 billion obekulindelwe phambilini. Izici ezilandelayo zidlala kulesi silinganiso:

• Isiqalo Esibuthakathaka se-2021: Sekuvele kucacile ukuthi uhhafu wokuqala ka-2021 uzokuba mubi kakhulu kunalokho obekulindelwe ngaphambili. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ohulumeni baqinise imikhawulo yezokuvakasha bephendula okusha Covid-19 okuhlukile. Ukudlulela phambili kwehlobo (ngoJulayi kuya ku-Agasti) njengamanje kungama-78% angaphansi kwamazinga ngoFebhuwari 2019 (ukuqhathanisa nonyaka ka-2020 kuhlanekezelwe ngenxa yemithelela ye-COVID-19).
   
• Isimo Esinethemba: Kusukela kulesi siqalo esiphansi sonyaka, isimo sethemba sizobona imikhawulo yokuhamba isuswa kancane kancane lapho abantu abasengozini emnothweni othuthukile begonyiwe, kepha kube kuphela ngesikhathi sokwenza ukuthi kube nesidingo esikhulu kunesikhathi esiphakeme sokuhamba ehlobo enyakatho nenkabazwe. Kulokhu ukufunwa kwe-2021 kuzoba ngama-38% wamazinga we-2019. Izindiza zizoshisa u- $ 75 billion wemali ngonyaka. Kodwa ukushiswa kwemali engamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama- $ 7 kwikota yesine kuzothuthukiswa kakhulu kusuka ekulindelweni kwemali engama- $ 33 billion ekoteni yokuqala.
   
• Isimo Esingenathemba: Lesi simo sizobona izindiza zezindiza zishisa ngama- $ 95 billion ngonyaka. Kuzoba nomkhuba othuthukayo kusuka ekushisweni kwemali engamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama- $ 33 kwikota yokuqala kwehle kuye ku- $ 16 billion kwikota yesine. Umshayeli walesi simo kungaba ohulumeni abagcina imikhawulo ebalulekile yokuhamba ngensika yokuhamba yasenyakatho yehlobo. Kulokhu, ukufunwa kuka-2021 kuzoba ngama-33% kuphela wamazinga we-2019.

“Njengoba ohulumeni beqinisa imingcele, u-2021 ulolonga ukuba ube unyaka onzima kakhulu kunalokho obekulindelekile phambilini. Isimo sethu esimnandi kakhulu sibona izindiza zivutha ngemali engama- $ 75 billion kulo nyaka. Futhi kungaba kubi njengama- $ 95 billion. Kuzodingeka usizo olungaphezulu oluphuthumayo oluvela kohulumeni. Imboni yezindiza esebenzayo ekugcineni ingakunika amandla ukuvuselelwa komnotho kusuka ku-COVID-19. Kepha lokho ngeke kwenzeke uma kunokuhluleka okukhulu ngaphambi kokuphela kwenkinga. Uma ohulumeni behluleka ukuvula imingcele yabo, sizodinga ukuthi bavule izikhwama zabo ngosizo lwezezimali ukugcina izindiza zisebenza, ”kusho u-Alexandre de Juniac, onguMqondisi Jikelele we-IATA kanye ne-CEO.

Njengoba izindiza manje zilindeleke ukuthi zishise ukheshi kulo lonke u-2021 kubalulekile ukuthi ohulumeni kanye nemboni bakulungele ngokuphelele ukuqala kabusha isikhathi lapho ohulumeni bevuma ukuthi kuphephile ukuvula kabusha imingcele. Lokho kwenza izinhlelo ezintathu zibucayi:

Kuhlela: Ukulungiselela imboni ukuqala kabusha ngokuphepha ngemuva konyaka noma ngaphezulu kokuphazamiseka kuzodinga ukuhlela ngokucophelela nezinyanga zokuzilungiselela.

Ohulumeni bangaqinisekisa ukuthi izindiza zezindiza zikulungele ukuxhuma kabusha abantu nezomnotho ngokusebenzisana nezimboni ukwenza izilinganiso namasu angenza ukuqala kabusha okuhlelekile futhi okufika ngesikhathi. 

“I-UK yenze isibonelo esihle. Ngasekuqaleni kwaleli sonto kubekwe uhlaka lokuvula kabusha ngokuya ngokuthuthuka kwesimo se-COVID-19. Lokhu kunikeza izindiza uhlaka lokuhlela ukuqala kabusha, noma ngabe kudinga ukulungiswa endleleni. Abanye ohulumeni kufanele babheke njengenqubo ehamba phambili yokusebenza nezimboni, ”kusho ude Juniac.

Ukuqinisekiswa Kwezempilo: Kuya ngokusobala ukuthi imigomo nokuhlolwa kuzoba nendima enkulu njengoba lolu bhubhane luya lulawulwa futhi nomnotho uyanda, kubandakanya nomkhakha wezokuvakasha.

I-IATA Travel Pass izokwenza ukuthi abahambi bakwazi ukulawula ngokuphepha idatha yabo yezempilo futhi babelane ngayo neziphathimandla ezifanele. Uhlu olwandayo lwezindiza - okubandakanya i-Air New Zealand, iCopa Airlines, i-Etihad Airways, i-Emirates, iQatar Airways, iMalaysia Airlines, iRwandAir, kanye neSingapore Airlines —zenze noma zizibophezele ekwenzeni izivivinyo nge-IATA Travel Pass.

“Ukuphathwa ngendlela efanele kwemininingwane yezempilo yedijithali kubalulekile ukuqala kabusha. Izinqubo ezenziwa ngesandla ngeke zikwazi ukubhekana nemiqulu lapho ukululama kuqala. Izixazululo zedijithali kufanele zivikeleke, zisebenze nezinhlelo ezikhona, zihambisane nezindinganiso zomhlaba wonke futhi zihloniphe ubumfihlo bedatha. Ekuthuthukiseni i-IATA Travel Pass lokhu kugxile ngokuphelele. IATA Travel App izosiza ukusetha umugqa ophakeme kakhulu ekuphatheni iziqinisekiso zezempilo, ukuvikela ekukhwabaniseni nokwenza inqubo elula yokuhamba. Yize kunokhetho emakethe lokuthola izixazululo, akumele kube khona ukuyekethisa kuzisekelo, noma sibeke engcupheni izinhlelo ezihlulekayo, sidumaze ohulumeni nabahambi, futhi siqale kabusha isikhathi, ”kusho u-de Juniac.

Amazinga Omhlaba Wonke: Njengoba izinhlelo zokugoma namandla okuhlola enweba, kunezentuthuko ezimbili ezibucayi — amazinga womhlaba wonke wokuqopha izivivinyo kanye nemithi yokugoma; kanye nohlelo lokurekhoda emuva labo asebevele begonyiwe.  

“Ijubane libalulekile. Imiphumela yokuhlola yobuqili ye-COVID-19 isivele ikhombisa ukuthi iyinkinga. Futhi njengoba izinhlelo zokugoma zanda ohulumeni basebenzisa izinqubo zamaphepha namazinga ehlukene edijithali ukurekhoda ukuthi ngubani ogonyiwe. Lezi akuzona izimo ezidingekayo ukuxhasa ukuqala kabusha okuphumelelayo ngezinga lapho ohulumeni bevula imingcele. I-WHO, i-ICAO, ne-OECD zisebenza ngamazinga, kepha usuku ngalunye ngaphandle kwazo kusho ukuthi inselelo iba nkulu. Sidinga isiphetho kusenesikhathi yiziphathimandla ezifanele ukuthi imboni ingahlelela izinto, ”kusho ude Juniac. 

“Noma nje ohulumeni begxile ekuphatheni inkinga ye-COVID-19, kumele sicabange isinyathelo ngaphambi kwamasu, amathuluzi namazinga adingekayo ukuqala kabusha izindiza nokunikeza amandla ukuvuselelwa komnotho okusuka ku-COVID-19. Ukusebenza ngokubambisana akuyona into entsha ezinkampanini zezindiza noma kohulumeni. Yindlela esilethe ngayo ukuxhumana okuphephile, okusebenzayo, nokwethembekile amashumi eminyaka. Sekuphele unyaka kube ukukhiywa kanye nemikhawulo njengoba imigomo yenziwa futhi amandla wokuhlola enwetshiwe. Isizathu sabo bonke lobu buhlungu obudalwe yilokhu ukugcina abantu bephephile nokuthi ekugcineni bakwazi ukubuyisela inhlalakahle yabo kanye neyomnotho. Ngezindaba ezinhle emithini yokugoma kanye namandla okuhlola akhulayo, kukhona inhlansi yokukhanya ekugcineni komhubhe. Ngakho-ke, yisikhathi sokucela ohulumeni ukuthi baqale kabusha uhlelo lwabo futhi banikeze noma yiluphi uxhaso oluvela embonini olungasiza, ”kusho u-de Juniac.
