Ingabe ukubambisana nokukhululwa kwezimakethe kungazinqoba izintshisekelo zokuvikela e-Caribbean? Ingqungquthela yaseCaribavia ka-2019 yachitha isikhathi esincane ngokuletha lowo mbuzo phambili. Njengoba abamele izinkampani zezindiza, amabhodi ezokuvakasha, abalawuli kanye nohulumeni behlangene ndawonye e-Sint Maarten indawo yesigameko ibekelwe inkulumo-mpikiswano eshisayo.
Okubalulekile engxoxweni kwakuwumbuzo wokuthi ingabe izici zokukhula zangaphandle zingazuzisa iziqhingi ngendlela eqeda ingcuphe yomonakalo ongaba khona kubaqhubi bazo bendawo. Ambalwa amazwe afuna ukubona izindiza zawo zasekhaya zixoshwa ebhizinisini, kodwa icala lebhizinisi lemisebenzi emincane yesiqhingi esisodwa kunzima ukukuthethelela. I-Curacao isanda kulahlekelwa yi-InselAir, ishiya isiqhingi sidonsa kanzima ukuhlala sixhumene nomhlaba wonke. UGiselle Hollander, uMqondisi wezokuThutha nokuThutha kulesi siqhingi ukhulume ngezinye zezinqumo ezinzima uhulumeni wakhe azicabangelayo, ikakhulukazi mayelana nokuzama ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi izinkampani zakhe zezindiza ezimbili ezincane ziyakwazi ukuphila futhi zichume ngenkathi futhi zibuyisela ngokushesha ukuxhumana okudingayo. Lokhu akukona nje ukubhekwa kwezokuvakasha kuphela kodwa kuyinselelo ebanzi yezomnotho. U-Hollander akafuni ukuthuthukisa inqubomgomo eyedwa, nokho. Kunalokho, uzimisele “ukusebenza ngokubambisana kulo mkhakha kunokuba alwe wodwa. Akuphumelelanga ukusebenza ngenqubomgomo yethu uma kungasebenzi esifundeni.”
U-Hollander akayedwa ekusebenzeleni ukudambisa imithwalo yokulawula phakathi kweziqhingi zase-Caribbean. Umhlonishwa uDaniel Gibbs, uMongameli we-Collectivé of Saint Martin, uchaze imizamo eqhubekayo yokudambisa imithetho yama-visa ezivakashini ezivakashela lesi siqhingi, kugxilwe eHaiti naseDominican Republic. UGibbs uyazi ukuthi ukulungiswa kwenqubomgomo okunjalo kumelela "indlela ebambekayo yokwandisa ithrafikhi" ukusiza ukushayela ukusimama komnotho kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwezidingo zesiqhingi. Ukushintsha okunjalo kwenqubomgomo kuzokweseka ngokuqondile ukwenyuka kwabagibeli abaya esikhumulweni sezindiza i-L'Espérance e-Grand Case.
Ngobubanzi besifunda ezinye izinguquko zokulawula nazo ziyaqhubeka. Uhulumeni wase-Bahamian usanda kuxegisa imithetho yobunikazi bangaphandle ezinkampanini zakhe zezindiza. Kuyisinyathelo esincane, kodwa esivula imakethe ekutshalweni kwezimali okukhulu kanye nokwesekwa komnotho waseziqhingini njengoba isibalo sezindiza sikhula. I-Tropic Ocean Airways ingenye yabasebenzi abambalwa abasebenza nohulumeni ukusiza ukusunduza lezi zinguquko. U-CEO u-Rob Ceravolo ukholelwa ukuthi uguquko luyaqhubeka, kodwa futhi inqubekelaphambili “iphazanyiswa ukungathembani phakathi kohulumeni namabhizinisi, futhi kufanele kube njalo” ngokusekelwe emigomeni yangaphambili ebonakale ixhaphaza. Kukhulunywa ngezinhlelo ezintsha njengobambiswano kunezinhlangano ezizimele ezivele zicele ukunikezwa kohulumeni.
Imithetho emayelana nokunikezwa kwamalayisensi okulinga kanye nezindawo eziningi zokuphatha nazo zidala izinselelo zesifunda. UKapteni Paul Delisle, Umhloli Wokusebenza Kwezindiza we-Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority uphawula ukuthi inhlangano yakhe iletha imithetho ecishe ifane namazinga emazweni ewaxhumanise amalayisense, kodwa kusafanele ikhiphe amalayisensi ahlukene ezweni ngalinye. Uhlelo oluvamile lokunikeza amalayisense lwaluwumgomo, kodwa izithiyo zezombangazwe zawuthiya lowo msebenzi. Ukuvumela abasebenzi abanamakhono ukuthi bahambe kalula phakathi kweziqhingi nezinkampani zezindiza kungasiza ekuthuthukiseni ukuhamba kwezindiza esifundeni futhi kunciphise ukudonsa kwengqondo kwabasebenzi abanamakhono abavela eziqhingini.
Kusasele umsebenzi omningi ukuthi kutholwe kule miqondo kuya ekushintsheni kokusebenza okuletha izinzuzo esifundeni. Kudinga ukuthi ohulumeni basebenzisane futhi bayekethise, bodwa kanye nezimboni ezizimele. Kudinga futhi ukuthi amabhizinisi atshale imali ezimakethe zawo ezintsha, hhayi nje izinsiza zabagibeli bawo. Kodwa inqubekelaphambili iyaqala futhi imiphumela isiqala ukubonakala.
