(eTN) - Njengomuntu "wangaphambili" waseMelika ohlala e-Asia, isidingo sokuvakashela e-United States sivela njalo. Ukwanda kwezinkampani zezindiza umuntu angazithatha nakho kuhlukahlukene futhi kuhlanganisa “ezihamba phambili emhlabeni.” Isevisi yezinkanyezi ezinhlanu ihlala iyisevisi yezinkanyezi ezinhlanu e-Asia, ikakhulukazi uma kuziwa ekuthandweni kweSingapore Airlines noma iCathy Pacific.
Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, bengisemzamweni wokuthola inkampani yezindiza ehamba phambili enendiza emfushane ukusuka e-SE Asia ukuya e-US East Coast. Uma imali ingeyona into, khona-ke i-Singapore Airlines (SQ) iphuma phambili nendiza yayo engami yekilasi lamabhizinisi isuka e-Singapore iye eNew York, eNewark Airport.
Inkinga yami ikabili. Okokuqala, ngihlala e-Kuala Lumpur, ngakho-ke kuzoba nesitobhi e-Singapore ukuze ngixhume endizeni ye-SQ, futhi okwesibili, imali yokugibela yekilasi lebhizinisi ingaba ngu-$9,000 wokuya nokubuya, indlela yokuphuma ebangeni lentengo yethu thina bantu abafayo.
Ngakho-ke imfuno iqhubekile nokuthola leyo nkampani yezindiza enkulu enenani elincane lokuma.
Faka i-Qatar Airways kanye ne-Emirates Airlines, zombili ezidale ama-mega hub e-Gulf States of Doha nase-Dubai, ngokulandelana. Umqondo ulula ngendlela emangalisayo, kokubili iDoha neDubai ibanga elilinganayo ukusuka e-Asia naseYurophu, futhi kuwo wonke umlando omfushane wendiza, bebelokhu befaka uphethiloli kuleyo mizila. I-Emirates kanye ne-Dubai bazakhele futhi bazikhangisa ngempumelelo “njemaphakathi nomhlaba” futhi kule minyaka embalwa edlule, bebephumelela ukuthumba ingxenye enkulu yethrafikhi yase-Europe neyaseMelika kude nabathwali befa abadala abazinze eYurophu nase-USA.
I-Qatar Airways ingene emakethe ngemuva kwesikhashana kodwa izimakethe ngempumelelo ngokuthi “Inkampani Yezindiza Yezinkanyezi Ezinhlanu Zomhlaba,” futhi isikhungo sayo e-Doha sinenzuzo enkulu ngaphezu “kwesikhungo somhlaba esimaphakathi ne-Dubai;” isikhumulo sezindiza saso asiminyana kangako ngamahora aphakeme kakhulu. Isikhathi sokulinda ukusuka e-Dubai singadlula kalula isigamu sehora. I-Doha ilawuleka kakhulu futhi inezikhathi ezimfushane zokuxhuma.
Njengoba i-Qatar isondela ku-2022, unyaka abazosingatha ngawo iNdebe Yomhlaba, iQatar Airways iyaqhubeka nokuthuthuka, nezindiza ezintsha ezingama-250 ezizolethwa kule minyaka eyishumi ezayo. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ama-oda e-Dreamliner entsha ye-Boeing. Ngezinga lokukhula lonyaka elingamaphesenti angama-35, ikusasa lenkampani yezindiza libukeka lizohlala lihle.
I-Qatar futhi yakha isikhumulo sezindiza esisha samazwe omhlaba, okufanele senze ukuxhumana okungenamthungo kube ngcono nakakhulu. Ngikhuluma ngalolo xhumo lwase-Asia ukuya e-USA, futhi ikakhulukazi kusukela endaweni yami e-Kuala Lumpur, izindiza ze-Qatar zinezindiza ezingu-17 ngeviki eziya e-Doha, futhi ukusuka lapho, umuntu angakhetha izindawo ezingu-3 zase-USA - e-Houston, eNew York, nase-Washington DC. Izikhathi zokuxhuma e-Doha zincane, futhi ukusebenza kahle kwesikhumulo sezindiza kuhambisana nesevisi yaso yezinkanyezi ezinhlanu kuyenza intandokazi yami. Uxhumano olungenazihibe ezindizeni zase-US lusebenza kahlanu ngeviki lusuka e-Kuala Lumpur. Izindiza zase-US zisebenza nsuku zonke zisuka e-Doha, futhi eziningi zisuka phakathi kuka-8:00 no-9:00 ekuseni futhi zifike ntambama kakhulu ngalo lolo suku.
Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi u-Akbar Al Baker weQatar Airways uvotelwe kuBhodi Lababusi benhlangano yemboni yezokundiza emhlabeni wonke, i-International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Qaphela abathwali bamafa - kukhona uhlelo olusha lomhlaba lwezindiza laphaya.
