Inkampani yezindiza entsha yaseMelika ivunyelwe ukundizela e-St. Petersburg, eRussia

Izinkampani zezindiza ezinkulu zehlisa amanani nezindiza ukuze zihlale zinenzuzo emnothweni womhlaba onzima. Kodwa iqembu labatshalizimali likholelwa ukuthi sesilungile isikhathi sokuqalisa inkampani yezindiza entsha enikeza izindiza phakathi kweNew York neSt.

I-Baltia Air Lines ithole imvume eMnyangweni Wezokuthutha wase-US ukuze inikeze usizo olungami phakathi kweSikhumulo Sezindiza SaseNew York sikaJohn F. Kennedy International Airport kanye ne-St. Petersburg's Pulkovo 2 Airport, kanti izindiza zizoqala kuleli hlobo, isikhulu esiphezulu sale nkampani, u-Igor Dmitrowsky, etshela I-Moscow Times.

Inkampani yezindiza izoqale inikeze izindiza eziya nokubuya kanye ngesonto nge-Boeing 747, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi inwebeke ibe yizinsuku ezintathu ngesonto bese iba yizinsuku ezinhlanu ngesonto, kusho uDmitrowsky.

Indiza yamahora ayisishiyagalombili izoba ukuxhumana kokuqala okuqondile phakathi kweSt.

UDmitrowsky uthe ukuntengantenga komnotho nakho kuzokwenza iBaltia ibe nokuncintisana.

“Eqinisweni, lezi yizikhathi ezingcono kakhulu kithi. Intengo kaphethiloli yehle kakhulu, kanti ezinye izindleko azikho ngokweqile,” kusho uDmitrowsky ngocingo oluvela eNew York.

Ungacabanga ukube besiphila enkathini lapho i-Pan Am yayichuma kanye nezinye izinkampani zezindiza ezinkulu ezingenasikweletu?" uthe. "Singaba nesikhathi esinzima kangaka sokungena emakethe kanye nesikhathi esinzima kakhulu sokuhlala sihamba."

I-Baltia ihlose ukunikeza isevisi yezigaba ezintathu endizeni yayo, ezoba ne-fuselage emhlophe enomsila obomvu ohlotshiswe ngeqhude elimhlophe, elimele ukugcina isikhathi. Izinkampani zezindiza njengamanje ezihlinzeka ngezindiza eziqondile eziya e-United States - i-Aeroflot, i-Delta Air Lines kanye ne-American Airlines - zinikeza isevisi yezigaba ezimbili.

Inkampani yesine, i-United Airlines, izoqala izindiza eziya eRussia ngeSonto elizayo ngemuva kokuhlehlisa umzila waseWashington-Moscow ngonyaka odlule ngenxa yezindleko eziphakeme zikaphethiloli.

Amanani kawoyela ehle asuka ku-$150 ehlobo eledlule aya cishe ku-$50 ngesonto eledlule. Kepha inkinga yezezimali selokhu yagubuzela umnotho womhlaba, yadumaza ukuhamba kwezamabhizinisi nokungcebeleka futhi yaphoqa izinkampani zezindiza ukuthi zehlise amanani namandla.

Ngesonto eledlule, i-United Airlines yehlise izintengo ukuze iphawule ukuqala kwezindiza ezintsha zansuku zonke phakathi kwe-Dulles Airport yase-Washington kanye ne-Domodedovo Airport yase-Moscow. Izinkokhelo eziyisampula kuwebhusayithi yenkampani yezindiza zibonisa amathikithi okuya e-Moscow nge-Dulles abiza u-$119 esuka eNew York kanye no-$167 avela e-Los Angeles. Amathikithi kufanele athengwe ngoLwesine, futhi uhambo luphakathi kukaMashi 29 no-Ephreli 30.

Ezinye izindiza eziningi zehlise amanani azo ngaphansi kwama-$500 ezindizeni eziya nokubuya eMoscow ngesonto eledlule, kusho uRick Seaney, isikhulu esiphezulu seFareCompare.com.

U-Seaney uxhumanise ukuncishiswa kwentengo nenkinga.

"Kufanele uqonde ukuthi le yindawo ehlanyisayo yendiza," esho kukholamu kuwebhusayithi ye-ABC News. “Izinkampani zezindiza zizama ukugcwalisa izindiza zazo, kodwa abantu bayazindela - kuyilapho abanye bengahambi. … Ngakho sithola umdlalo wamanani e-yo-yo: Uma kungekho muntu othenga amathikithi, amanani ayakhuphuka.”

Uthe uthole i-American Airlines inikela ngemali yohambo olulodwa lokuya nokubuya engu-$205 usuka eBaltimore uya eMoscow.

Izindleko zamathikithi e-Baltia zizohlala "emigqeni yesakhiwo samanani samanje kubathwali abanezinsizakalo zokuxhuma," kusho uDmitrowsky.

Kodwa iwebhusayithi ye-Baltia isivele iphromotha izaphulelo eziningi kubafundi, abadala kanye nentsha. Ngenyanga yokuqala yesevisi, bonke abagibeli bazothola amaphesenti angu-25 ezindlekweni zethikithi, futhi abagibeli bokuqala abangu-300 abazobhukha izindiza bazothola ithikithi lamahhala ukuze balisebenzise esikhathini esizayo.

Usuku lokuqalisa kwendiza yase-Baltia lusazonqunywa, kusalindwe ukugunyazwa kwemibhalo yayo yesitifiketi somoya kwaFederal Aviation Authority, kusho uDmitrowsky. Uthe kulindeleke ukuthi kuvunywe zingakapheli izinyanga ezintathu.

Inkampani yezindiza, eseRego Park, eNew York, izoqala ukusebenza nge-single 747.

Ithemba ukuqala izindiza ezingami phakathi kweNew York neMoscow, Kiev, Minsk neRiga ngonyaka ozayo.

UDmitrowsky, isakhamuzi sase-US esazalelwa eRiga, wasungula inkampani ye-kefir ngo-1979 futhi wayiholela ekunikeleni komphakathi ngo-1986. Uxhase ngezimali izindiza eziningana nemiklamo yezimoto, kodwa iphupho lakhe cishe iminyaka engu-15 liye laqala i-Baltia.

Amasheya ka-Baltia, ahweba ngohlelo lwe-elekthronikhi “olungaphezu kwe-counter-the-counter-bulletin board”, avale amaphesenti angu-20 ngo-$0.04 ngoLwesihlanu ngemva kokubona ukwehla okungamaviki angu-52 okungu-$0.01 ngo-Nov. 12 kanye nokuphezulu okungu-$0.07 ngo-March 24.

UDmitrowsky ubhekene nempi ekhuphukayo. Izinkampani zezindiza zingase zilahlekelwe ngaphezu kuka-$2.5 billion ngo-2009 ngemuva kokuthi umthamo wezimpahla wehle ngamaphesenti angama-23 kanye nokuhamba kwabagibeli kwehle ngamaphesenti angu-5.6 ngoJanuwari, kusho i-International Air Transport Association ngeledlule.

Abangaphakathi embonini yezindiza bangabaza ubuhlakani bezinhlelo ze-United Airlines zokundizela eRussia ngesikhathi zimenyezelwa ngonyaka odlule, bephawula ukuthi izindiza phakathi kweMoscow ne-United States bezingavamile ukugcwaliswa.

I-United Airlines yathi ngaleso sikhathi izindiza ezindizeni zaseMoscow zizothwala inhlanganisela yabagibeli nezimpahla, okwenza umzila ube nenzuzo.

I-American Airlines yaqala izindiza eziya eMoscow isuka endaweni yayo e-Chicago ngonyaka odlule. I-Delta ibilokhu indiza phakathi kweMoscow namadolobha amabili ase-US, i-New York ne-Atlanta, iminyaka.
