I-IATA: Ukutholwa kohambo lwendiza kuhlala kuqinile

The Inhlangano Yezindiza Yezindiza Yomhlaba Wonke (IATA) umemezele idatha yabagibeli yangoJuni 2022 ekhombisa ukuthi ukululama kokuhamba ngendiza kuhlala kuqinile. 

• Inani lethrafikhi ngoJuni 2022 (okukalwa ngenzuzo yamakhilomitha abagibeli noma ama-RPK) inyuke ngo-76.2% uma kuqhathaniswa noJuni 2021, ngokuyinhloko okugqugquzelwa ukusimama okuqinile okuqhubekayo kuthrafikhi yamazwe ngamazwe. Emhlabeni jikelele, ithrafikhi manje isiku-70.8% wamazinga angaphambi kwenhlekelele. 

• Ithrafikhi yasekhaya ngoJuni 2022 benyuke ngo-5.2% uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi sonyaka odlule. Ukuthuthuka okuqinile ezimakethe eziningi, kuhlanganiswe nokwehliswa kweminye imikhawulo ehlobene nokuvalwa kwe-Omicron emakethe yasekhaya yaseChina, kube nesandla kulo mphumela. Isamba sikaJuni 2022 ithrafikhi yasekhaya ibiku-81.4% wezinga likaJuni 2019.

• Ithrafikhi yamazwe ngamazwe ikhuphuke ngo-229.5% uma iqhathaniswa noJuni 2021. Ukususwa kwemikhawulo yokuhamba ezindaweni eziningi zase-Asia-Pacific kunomthelela ekululameni. Juni 2022 ama-RPK amazwe ngamazwe afinyelele ku-65.0% wamazinga kaJuni 2019.

“Isidingo sokuhamba ngendiza sisaqinile. Ngemuva kweminyaka emibili yokuvalwa kwemigwaqo nemingcele abantu basebenzisa inkululeko yokuhamba noma kuphi lapho bengakwazi khona,” kusho UWillie Walsh, uMqondisi Jikelele we-IATA. 

Izimakethe Zabagibeli Zamazwe Omhlaba

• Izindiza zase-Asia-Pacific inyuke ngo-492.0% ngoJuni uma kuqhathaniswa noJuni 2021. Umthamo ukhuphuke ngo-138.9% kanti isici somthwalo sikhuphuke ngamaphesenti angama-45.8 safinyelela ku-76.7%. Lesi sifunda manje sesivulekele izivakashi zakwamanye amazwe kanye nezokuvakasha esiza ukukhuthaza ukululama.

• Abathwali baseYurophu' Ukuhamba kwezimoto ngoJuni kukhuphuke ngo-234.4% uma kuqhathaniswa noJuni 2021. Umthamo ukhuphuke ngo-134.5%, futhi isici somthwalo sikhuphuke ngamaphesenti angu-25.8 safinyelela ku-86.3%. Ithrafikhi yamazwe ngamazwe ngaphakathi kwe-Europe ingaphezu kwamazinga angaphambi kobhubhane ngokwemibandela elungiswa ngesizini.

• Izinkampani zezindiza zaseMiddle East' ithrafikhi yenyuka ngo-246.5% ngoJuni uma kuqhathaniswa noJuni 2021. Umthamo kaJuni ukhuphuke ngo-102.4% uma uqhathaniswa nesikhathi sonyaka odlule, futhi isici somthwalo sikhuphuke ngamaphesenti angu-32.4 safinyelela ku-78.0%. 

• Abathwali baseNyakatho Melika ibe nokwenyuka kwethrafikhi okungu-168.9% ngoJuni uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi sika-2021. Umthamo ukhuphuke ngo-95.0%, futhi isici somthwalo sikhuphuke ngamaphesenti angama-24.1 saya ku-87.7%, obekuphezulu kakhulu phakathi kwezifunda.

• Izindiza zaseLatin America' Ukuhamba kwezimoto zangoJuni kukhuphuke ngo-136.6% uma kuqhathaniswa nenyanga efanayo ngo-2021. Umthamo kaJuni ukhuphuke ngo-107.4% futhi isici somthwalo sikhuphuke ngamaphesenti angu-10.3 safinyelela ku-83.3%. Ngemuva kokuhola izifunda nge-load factor izinyanga ezingu-20 zilandelana, i-Latin America yehle yabuyela endaweni yesithathu ngoJuni.

• Izindiza zase-Afrika ibe nokukhuphuka okungu-103.6% kuma-RPK kaJuni uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka odlule. NgoJuni 2022 umthamo wenyuka ngo-61.9% futhi isici somthwalo sikhuphuke ngamaphesenti angu-15.2 saya ku-74.2%, esiphansi kakhulu phakathi kwezifunda. Ukuhamba kwamazwe ngamazwe phakathi kwe-Afrika nezifunda ezingomakhelwane kuseduze namazinga angaphambi kobhubhane.

“Njengoba inkathi yokuvakasha yasehlobo yaseNyakatho Nenkabazwe isiqhubeka ngokugcwele, izibikezelo zokuthi ukwesulwa kwemingcele yokuvakasha kuzodala inqwaba yesidingo sokuhamba sezinto eziqhubekayo. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukuhlangabezana naleso sidingo kuye kwaba yinselele futhi cishe kusazoqhubeka kunjalo. Isizathu esengeziwe sokuqhubeka nokubonisa ukuguquguquka kwemithetho yokusebenzisa slot. Inhloso yeKhomishini YaseYurophu yokubuyela esimisweni esinesikhathi eside se-80-20 singaphambi kwesikhathi. 

“Bheka nje izinkinga ezibhekene nezinkampani zezindiza nabagibeli bazo kwezinye izikhumulo zezindiza. Lezi zikhumulo zezindiza azikwazi ukusekela umthamo wazo omenyezelwe ngisho nomkhawulo wamanje wama-64% futhi zelule isibalo sabagibeli sakamuva kuze kube sekupheleni kuka-Okthoba. Ukuvumelana nezimo kusabalulekile ekusekeleni ukululama okuphumelelayo.

“Ngokuhlanganisa izinombolo zabagibeli, izikhumulo zezindiza zivimbela izinkampani zezindiza ukuthi zihlomule esidingweni esinamandla. Isikhumulo sezindiza iHeathrow sizamile ukusola izinkampani zezindiza ngokuphazamiseka. Kodwa-ke, imininingwane Yezinga Lokusebenza Kwezinga Lenkonzo yezinyanga eziyisithupha zokuqala zalo nyaka ikhombisa ukuthi behlulekile ngokudabukisayo ukuhlinzeka ngezidingongqangi futhi baphuthelwe umgomo wabo wokuvikela Abagibeli ngamaphoyinti angu-14.3. Idatha yangoJuni ayikashicilelwa kodwa kulindeleke ukuthi ikhombise izinga eliphansi lenkonzo yesikhumulo sezindiza selokhu kwaqala amarekhodi,” kusho uWalsh.
