- Isidingo esiphelele sokuhamba emoyeni ngoFebhuwari 2021 sehle ngama-74.7% uma kuqhathaniswa noFebhuwari 201
- Isidingo sabagibeli bamazwe omhlaba ngoFebhuwari sasingu-88.7% ngaphansi kukaFebhuwari 2019
- Isidingo esiphelele sasekhaya sehle ngama-51.0% uma kuqhathaniswa nezinkinga zangaphambi kwenhlekelele (ngoFebhuwari 2019)
The Inhlangano Yezindiza Yezindiza Yomhlaba Wonke (IATA) umemezele ukuthi ithrafikhi yabagibeli yehle ngoFebhuwari 2021, womabili aqhathaniswa namazinga wangaphambi kwe-COVID (ngoFebhuwari 2019) futhi uma kuqhathaniswa nenyanga eyandulela leyo (Januwari 2020).

Isidingo esiphelele sokuhamba ngendiza ngoFebhuwari 2021 (kulinganiswa kumakhilomitha abagibeli bemali engenayo noma ama-RPKs) sehle ngama-74.7% uma kuqhathaniswa noFebhuwari 2019. Lokho kwakukubi ukwedlula ukwehla kuka-72.2% okwabhalwa ngoJanuwari 2021 uma kuqhathaniswa neminyaka emibili edlule.
Isidingo sabagibeli bamazwe omhlaba ngoFebhuwari sasingu-88.7% ngaphansi kukaFebhuwari 2019, ukwehla okunye kusuka ekunciphiseni konyaka we-85.7% unyaka nonyaka okurekhodwe ngoJanuwari nomphumela omubi kakhulu wokukhula kusukela ngoJulayi 2020. Ukusebenza kuzo zonke izifunda kwaba kubi kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa noJanuwari 2021.

“UFebhuwari akazange akhombise ukuthi zizobuyela esimweni izidingo zabantu abahamba ngezindiza emhlabeni. Eqinisweni, izinkomba eziningi zihambe ngendlela engafanele njengoba imikhawulo yokuhamba iqiniswa lapho kuqhubeka nokukhathazeka ngokuhlukahluka okusha kwe-coronavirus. Okuhlukile okubalulekile kwakuyimakethe yasekhaya yase-Australia. Ukuyekiswa kwemikhawulo ezindizeni ezihamba ekhaya kwaholela ekuhambeni okuningi ngokwengeziwe. Lokhu kusitshela ukuthi abantu abalahlekelwanga yisifiso sabo sokuhamba. Bazondiza, inqobo nje uma bengakwenza ngaphandle kokubhekana nezinyathelo zokuvalelwa bodwa, ”kusho uWillie Walsh, uMqondisi Jikelele we-IATA.
