“Isikhumulo sezindiza esikhona manje siqhuma ngendlela efanele. Isiza abagibeli abayizigidi ezingama-47, cishe ama-50% ngaphezu komthamo wayo wokuklama wezigidi ezingama-32. Isikhumulo sezindiza esisha sibalulekile ukuze iMexico City izuze ngokugcwele endaweni yayo ehlanganisa iNyakatho Melika neLatin America,” kusho uPeter Cerda, Iphini Likamongameli Wesifunda Se-IATA Yamazwe aseMelika.
Izindiza sezivele zenza umnikelo omkhulu emnothweni waseMexico, zisekela imisebenzi eyisigidi kanye no-1% we-GDP, okuhlanganisa negalelo lezomnotho lezivakashi zakwamanye amazwe ezifika ngendiza. Kodwa ukuntula umthamo wengqalasizinda enhlokodolobha yayo kwehlisa isithunzi ikhono lezwe lokubamba ingxenye enkulu nakakhulu yezinzuzo zokuxhumanisa izindiza, esifundeni nasemhlabeni jikelele, ngokocwaningo olusha lwe-IATA.

Lokhu kusho ukuthi ezondiza azilethi ngokugcwele izinzuzo ebezingaziletha nengqalasizinda eyanele. Mayelana nalokhu, iMexico ilandela amazwe anezimakethe zasekhaya ezincane kakhulu, okuhlanganisa iPanama, iDominican Republic, iColombia, iPeru neChile.
Ucwaningo lwe-IATA luphinde luhlonze izindleko zamathuba agejiwe uma ukuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda kungahambisani nesidingo sokuxhunywa kwezindiza. Uma isikhumulo sezindiza esisha singakhiwa, kungase kusho ukuthi abagibeli abambalwa abayizigidi ezingu-20 ngonyaka ngo-2035. Lokhu kuhumushela emthelela omubi ofika ku-$20 wezigidigidi ekunikeleni kwe-GDP yesikhathi esizayo kanye nemisebenzi embalwa efika ku-200,000 e-Mexico esekelwe ezondiza ngo-2035.
“Ngenxa yobuningi babantu bakhona bendawo, izinto eziheha kakhulu amabhizinisi nezokuvakasha, kanye nezinzuzo zezindawo, iMexico City inamandla okudlala indima enkulu kakhulu emhlabeni. Kodwa ukuze lokho kwenzeke, ingqalasizinda yezindiza idinga ukwanela futhi ithengeke, yingakho kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi kwakhiwe isikhumulo sezindiza esisha saseMexico City njengoba bekuhleliwe,” kusho uCerda.
