Izibalo zezingozi zezindiza nezehlakalo ezaqoshwa eNamibia ezinyangeni eziyisithupha zokuqala zonyaka zikhomba ukuthi lesi kube yisigamu sokuqala sonyaka esiphephe kunazo zonke emkhakheni wezokundiza wezwe okungenani eminyakeni emihlanu.

Izibalo ezikhishwe uMnyango Wezemisebenzi Nezokuthutha kuleli sonto zikhombisa ukuthi kusukela ngoJanuwari kuya ekupheleni kukaJuni kulo nyaka, izehlakalo zezindiza eziyi-13 - zombili izingozi kanye nezigameko ezimbi kakhulu ezingathinta ukuphepha kwendiza - zarekhodwa eNamibia.

Njengoba kungekho zimpilo ezilahlekile kunoma yisiphi salezi zehlakalo, lokhu kwenza kube ingxenye yokuqala yonyaka ephepheni lezindiza zaseNamibia kusukela okungenani ngo-2005.

Engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2006, kwaqoshwa izingozi nezigameko zezindiza ezingama-34 eNamibia, ezimbili zalezi zingozi zadlula nemiphefumulo emibili. Isibalo sezehlakalo zezindiza sikhuphuke safinyelela ku-51 engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2007, kwashona abantu abane ezingozini ezimbili ezibulalayo ngaleso sikhathi.

Ingxenye yokuqala ka-2008 yaba yizinyanga zokuqala eziyisithupha zonyaka ezabulala kakhulu indiza yaseNamibia kusukela okungenani ngo-2005. Nakuba kwaqoshwa izingozi eziyisishiyagalolunye kuphela ngaleso sikhathi, ezimbili zalezi kwakuyizingozi ezibulalayo lapho abantu abayisikhombisa balahlekelwa ukuphila kwabo.

Ngokusho koMnyango, ukwehla kwezibalo zezingozi esikhathini esisuka kuMasingana kuya kuJuni 2009 kungenxa yezinyathelo eziqaliswe yi-Directorate of Civil Aviation kanye ne-Directorate of Aircraft Accident Investigaments in the Ministry of Works and Transport kanye nezinyathelo eziye zasetshenziswa. ithathwe abaqhubi bezindiza kanye nezinhlangano zokulungisa izindiza.

Ochwepheshe be-ICAO bokufaneleka kwezindiza nabo benze ngcono izindlela zokunakekela futhi bebesebenzelana nezindiza ebezisebenza ngaphandle kwezitifiketi zokuba zindiza, kusho uNgweda.

Zonke izindiza, abaqhubi, nezinhlangano ezilungisayo eNamibia zihlolwa ithimba le-ICAO njengengxenye yohlelo lokucwaningwa kwamabhuku olusemthethweni, kuyilapho uhlelo lokucwaninga amalayisense ezisebenzi zasendizeni nalo belusaqhubeka kusukela ngemva nje kokufika kwethimba le-ICAO eNamibia ngoDisemba nyakenye. ,kusho uNgweda.

Wengeze ngokuthi nakuba i-Directorate of Civil Aviation isanda kuqasha abahloli abathathu abengeziwe, isalokhu inabasebenzi abambalwa kakhulu.

Kunezindiza ezibhalisiwe ezingaphezu kuka-550 - ezisukela ngobukhulu kusukela endizeni encane ekhanyayo ukuya endiza yabagibeli i-Airbus A340 - eNamibia okudingeka ukuthi zihlolwe kanye ngonyaka, ngokusho kukaNgweda.
