Okuqukethwe

Izikhathi

Itheminali yasekhaya iyibanga elifushane enyakatho kwetheminali yamazwe omhlaba futhi inikela ngezindiza eziphakathi kweziqhingi ngenani eliphakeme lokusuka njalo ngemizuzu eyi-10-15 ngezikhathi ezimatasa ezihambisana nokufika / ukusuka kwamazwe omhlaba kanye nayo yonke imizuzu engama-30 ngezinye izikhathi. ICargo terminal iseningizimu ye-terminal yamazwe omhlaba futhi iphatha ukuthuthwa kwempahla evela kuyo yonke iminyakazo yamazwe ngamazwe neyasekhaya; iphethwe yi-Air Seychelles.

Isisekelo seSeychelles Public Defence Force (SPDF) siseningizimu-mpumalanga yeRunway 13 esiqhingini esihlanganiswe noMahé lapho kwakhiwa isikhumulo sezindiza.

Umlando

Iminyaka yokuqala

Ukuvulwa kwe Isikhumulo sezindiza i-Seychelles International senzeka ngomhlaka 20 Mashi 1972 yiHer Majness Queen Elizabeth II. UWilkenair waseKenya wayeseqalile ukuhambisa isikebhe phakathi kweMombasa neMahé edlula ngoDiego Suarez eMadagascar nase-Astove Island (Seychelles) esebenzisa injini yamawele uPiper Navajo ngonyaka owedlule. Isebenza eSeychelles kanye ngesonto. Umshayeli wendiza wokuqala owafika esikhumulweni sezindiza saseSeychelles kwakunguTony Bentley-Buckle, owahamba ngendiza yakhe yangasese esuka eMombasa eya eMahe edlula eMoroni ngoMashi 1971 nangaphambi kokuba inkundla yezindiza iphele. Isikhathi sokundiza kwaba ngamahora ayi-9 imizuzu engama-35.

Lokhu kwalandelwa yi-East African Airways ngoNovemba 1971 neLuxair ngoDisemba wangonyaka ofanayo. IBoAC Super VC10 kwakuyindiza yokuqala yejet eyafika eSeychelles International Airport ngomhla ziyi-4 kuNtulikazi 1971. Ngesikhathi sokuvulwa kwayo yayinemigwaqo engu-2987 m kanye nombhoshongo wokulawula. Ukuphathwa phansi nakho konke okunye ukusebenza kwesikhumulo kwenziwa yi-DCA (Directorate of Civil Aviation).

Ngo-1972 uJohn Faulkner Taylor noTony Bentley-Buckle basungula inkampani yokuqala yezindiza yasekhaya i-Air Mahé, eyayisebenzisa iPiper PA-34 Seneca phakathi kwePraslin, Fregate neMahé Islands.

Ngemuva kokuthi kutholakale izikhali zabo ngesikhathi befika kwaqubuka impi, kwathi iningi lamasosha leqa kamuva ngendiza ye-Air India eyayiduniwe.

Intuthuko kusukela ngeminyaka yama-2000

Umbono we-Apron

Iminyaka engu-2005/2006 yaletha ukuthuthuka okuqhubekayo kwezindiza zomphakathi eSeychelles. Umthetho Weziphathimandla Zezokundiza Womthetho wasungulwa ngomhlaka 4 Ephreli 2006 ukuze kwenziwe ukuhlanganiswa kwehhovisi loMqondisi Wezokundiza Kwabantu eSeychelles Civil Aviation Authority. Imisebenzi iqale ukukhuphula nokwelula isakhiwo se-terminal, esinwetshelwe ukuphatha okungenani izindiza ezinhlanu eziphakathi nendawo ezinkulu (isib. IBoeing 767 noma i-Airbus A330) kanye nezindiza ezincane eziyisithupha zejet (isib. IBoeing 737 noma i-Airbus A320).

Izindawo zokupaka ezingeziwe zenziwa zatholakala enyakatho-mpumalanga yesikhumulo sezindiza ukuphatha indawo yokupaka, amabhizinisi, nezindiza ezihlala isikhathi eside (isib. Ezinye izindiza zaseYurophu zifika ekuseni ziqala ngo-7 ekuseni kodwa azihambi kuze kushaye u-10 ntambama kuqhubeke). Lokhu kunciphisa i-jet-lag njengoba noma yikuphi ukundiza okushiya iSeychelles ebusuku kuzofika emadolobheni amaningi aseNtshonalanga Yurophu ekuseni kakhulu futhi okuphambene nalokho kusuka emadolobheni aseYurophu kuya eSeychelles; ibuye inikeze ukuphumula okwanele kwabasebenza.

Isikhumulo sezindiza bekulikhaya lezimoto zasemoyeni ezingenamuntu eziqhutshwa yi-United States Air Force futhi mhlawumbe neCentral Intelligence Agency yokusebenza eSomalia nophondo lwe-Afrika.
