Ngokusho kwe-Civil Aviation Authority yaseSingapore, i-OSA phakathi kweSingapore neRomania ivumela abathwali baseSingapore ukuthi basebenzise noma iyiphi inombolo yezindiza zabagibeli nezimpahla phakathi kweSingapore namaphoyinti eRomania, nangale kweRomania kuya kunoma yiliphi elinye idolobha emhlabeni. Ngokufanayo, abathwali baseRomania bangasebenzisa noma iyiphi inombolo yezindiza eziya nangaphandle kweSingapore. Ngalokhu, iSingapore ivale ama-OSA namazwe ayi-16 e-European Union.
"I-OSA ye-Singapore-Zambia ngokufanayo ivumela abagibeli kanye nabathwali bempahla baseSingapore naseZambia ukuthi basebenzise noma iyiphi inombolo yezindiza phakathi nangaphandle kwamazwe womabili ukuya kunoma yiliphi elinye idolobha emhlabeni wonke," kusho i-CAAA. "Le yi-OSA yokuqala yase-Singapore enezwe lase-Afrika."
Zombili lezi zivumelwano zokuvula isibhakabhaka zafakwa inki ngesikhathi seNgqungquthela Yokuxoxisana Ngezinkonzo Zezindiza Yezizwe Ngezizwe (i-ICAO) eyayise-Dubai, e-United Arab Emirates, kusukela ngoNovemba 24-27, 2008. Umcimbi wokuqala wawuyingxenye yomzamo we-ICAO wokuqalisa “indawo eyodwa. shop” ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukusebenza kahle kwenqubo yezingxoxo phakathi kwamazwe amabili ngendawo yokuhlangana emaphakathi lapho amazwe engakwazi ukwenza ukubonisana ngezinsizakalo zomoya zamazwe amabili.
"Imizamo ye-ICAO inikeze inkundla elula yokusiza amazwe afana neSingapore ukuthi aphishekele ukukhululeka kwezinsizakalo zomoya," kusho umqondisi jikelele we-CAAA kanye ne-CEO uLim Kim Choon.
Wanezela: “Izivumelwano ezinjalo zizonikeza abathwali bamazwe afanele ukuguquguquka okugcwele kokusabela ngokushesha emathubeni emakethe, lapho evela nini. Ukuphothulwa ngempumelelo kwalezi zivumelwano ezimbili futhi kuwubufakazi obucacile bobudlelwane obufudumele bamazwe ngamazwe iSingapore enabo neZambia neRomania, kanye nokuzibophezela okuqinile kwamazwe ethu ekukhuthazeni inkululeko embonini yezindiza.”
Ngalezi zivumelwano ezimbili, iSingapore iphothule ama-OSA namazwe angaphezu kwama-30.
Kuze kube manje, isikhumulo sezindiza i-Changi sihlinzekwa yizinkampani zezindiza ezihleliwe ezingama-82 ezisebenza ngaphezu kwezindiza ezihleliwe zeviki ezingaphezu kuka-4,470 eziya emadolobheni angama-189 emazweni angama-60.
