Kungakapheli nenyanga abashayeli bezindiza e-US Airways bekhiphe isikhangiso esigcwele e-USA Today besola inkampani yenethiwekhi ngokugeqa uphethiloli ukuze bonge imali, abashayeli bezindiza kwezinye izinkampani zezindiza basaqhubeka nokuhlaba umkhosi futhi bazwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngokuphepha kwenkampani yezindiza. abasebenzi nabagibeli.
Abashayeli bamabhanoyi bathi abaphathi bezinkampani zezindiza, bafisa ukwehlisa izindleko, babaphoqa ukuthi bandize ngendlela exakile benophethiloli. Isimo saba sibi ngokwanele eminyakeni emithathu edlule, ngisho nangaphambi kokwenyuka kwamanani kaphethiloli kwakamuva, lapho iNASA yathumela isexwayiso sezokuphepha kubaphathi bezindiza zenhlangano. Kusukela lapho, abashayeli bezindiza, abathumeli bezindiza nabanye baye baqhubeka nokuzwakala ngezexwayiso zabo, nokho iFederal Aviation Administration ithi asikho isizathu sokuyalela izinkampani zezindiza ukuthi zihoxise umzamo wazo wokugcina uphethiloli ube mncane.
"Asikwazi ukungena emigomeni yebhizinisi noma emigomeni yabasebenzi benkampani yezindiza," kusho umkhulumeli we-FAA u-Les Dorr muva nje. Uqhube wathi akukho okukhombisa ukuthi kuphulwa imithetho yezokuphepha.
Isexwayiso sezokuphepha sango-Septhemba 2005 sakhishwa Uhlelo Lokubika Ukuphepha Kwezindiza oluyimfihlo lwe-NASA, oluvumela abasebenzi basemoyeni ukuthi babike izinkinga zokuphepha ngaphandle kokwesaba ukuthi amagama abo azodalulwa.
Njengoba amanani kaphethiloli manje eyizindleko zawo ezinkulu, izinkampani zezindiza zisebenzisa kabi izinqubomgomo ezintsha eziklanyelwe ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa.
NgoFebhuwari, ukapteni we-Boeing 747 wabika ukuthi uphethiloli wehlile esendleleni eya esikhumulweni sezindiza sase-Kennedy. Uthe uqhubekile waya kuKennedy ngemuva kokuxoxisana nomphathi wenkampani yakhe yezindiza, owamtshela ukuthi kukhona uphethiloli owanele endizeni.
Lapho indiza ifika, ukaputeni wathi inophethiloli omncane kangangokuthi kube khona ukubambezeleka kokufika, “bekuzodingeka ngimemezele isimo esiphuthumayo sikaphethiloli” - igama elitshela abalawuli bezindiza ukuthi indiza idinga ukubekwa phambili ngokushesha ukuze ihlale.
Ukuphahlazeka kokugcina okukhulu komoya wase-US okudalwe uphethiloli ophansi kwaba ngo-Jan. 25, 1990, lapho i-Avianca Boeing 707 iphelelwa khona ngesikhathi ilinde ukuhlala e-Kennedy futhi yaphahlazeka e-Cove Neck. Abangamashumi ayisikhombisa nantathu kwabangu-158 ababegibele babulawa.
