I-IATA manje ilindele ukuthi izinombolo zabagibeli bezindiza zilulame ngo-2024

The Inhlangano Yezindiza Yezindiza Yomhlaba Wonke (IATA) ilindele ukuthi isibalo sabahambi sisonke sifinyelele ku-4.0 billion ngo-2024 (ibala uhambo lokuxhuma lwemikhakha eminingi njengomgibeli oyedwa), ukweqa amazinga angaphambi kwe-COVID-19 (103% yenani eliphelele lango-2019).

Ukulindela ukuma kokululama okuseduze kushintshile kancane, okubonisa ukuvela kwemikhawulo yokuhamba ebekwe uhulumeni kwezinye izimakethe. Isithombe sisonke sethulwe kusibuyekezo sakamuva ku IATAIsibikezelo sesikhathi eside, nokho, asishintshile kulokho obekulindelekile ngoNovemba, ngaphambi kokuhluka kwe-Omicron. 

“Indlela yokululama kwezinombolo zabagibeli abavela ku-COVID-19 ayizange ishintshwe ukwahluka kwe-Omicron. Abantu bafuna ukuhamba. Futhi lapho imingcele yokuhamba isusiwe, ibuyela esibhakabhakeni. Luselude ukhalo okusamele luhanjwe ukuze kufinyelelwe esimeni esejwayelekile, kodwa isibikezelo sokuvela kwezibalo zabagibeli sinika isizathu esihle sokuba nethemba,” kusho. UWillie Walsh, uMqondisi Jikelele we-IATA.

Isibuyekezo sikaFebruwari sesibikezelo sesikhathi eside sihlanganisa okuvelele okulandelayo:

•  Ngo-2021, izinombolo zabahambi zizonke zazingama-47% wamazinga ka-2019. Lokhu kulindeleke ukuthi kuthuthuke kube ngu-83% ngo-2022, 94% ngo-2023, 103% ngo-2024 kanye no-111% ngo-2025.

• Ngo-2021, izinombolo zabahambi bamazwe ngamazwe zazingama-27% wamazinga ka-2019. Lokhu kulindeleke ukuthi kuthuthuke kufinyelele ku-69% ngo-2022, 82% ngo-2023, 92% ngo-2024 kanye no-101% ngo-2025.

Lesi isimo esithembisayo esiseduze sesikhathi sokubuyiselwa kwamazwe ngamazwe uma kuqhathaniswa noNovemba 2021, ngokusekelwe ekuphumuzeni okuqhubekayo noma ekususweni kwemikhawulo yokuhamba ezimakethe eziningi. Lokhu kubone intuthuko ezimakethe ezinkulu zaseNyakatho ye-Atlantic kanye nezaseYurophu, okuqinisa isisekelo sokululama. I-Asia-Pacific kulindeleke ukuthi iqhubeke nokululama ngemakethe enkulu kunazo zonke esifundeni, iChina, ingakhombisi zimpawu zokuxegisa izindlela zayo zemingcele enzima maduze nje.

• Ngo-2021, izinombolo zabahambi basekhaya zazingama-61% wamazinga ka-2019. Lokhu kulindeleke ukuthi kuthuthuke kube ngu-93% ngo-2022, 103% ngo-2023, 111% ngo-2024 kanye no-118% ngo-2025.

Umbono wokuvela kwezinombolo zabahambi basekhaya awunathemba kakhulu kunangoNovemba. Ngenkathi izimakethe zasekhaya zase-US naseRussia sezibuyile, akulona iqiniso kwezinye izimakethe zasekhaya ezinkulu zaseChina, eCanada, eJapan nase-Australia. 

“Abashayeli abakhulu nabasheshayo bezinombolo zabagibeli yimingcele ohulumeni abayibeka ekuhambeni. Ngenhlanhla, ohulumeni abaningi baye baqonda ukuthi imikhawulo yokuhamba ayinawo umthelela wesikhathi eside ekusabalaleni kwegciwane. Futhi ubunzima bezomnotho nezenhlalo obubangelwa inzuzo elinganiselwe abusamukeleki enanini elikhulayo lezimakethe. Ngenxa yalokhu, ukususwa kwemikhawulo okuqhubekayo kunikeza amandla adingeka kakhulu emathubeni ohambo,” kusho. Walsh.

• Ukususwa kwazo zonke izithiyo zokuhamba (okuhlanganisa ukuvalelwa kanye nokuhlolwa) kulabo abagonywe ngokugcwele ngomuthi wokugoma ogunyazwe yi-WHO
• Ukuhlolwa kwe-antigen ngaphambi kokuhamba ukuze kunikwe amandla uhambo lokuvalelwa kwabahambi abangagonyiwe
• Ukususa konke ukuvinjelwa kohambo, kanye
• Ukusheshisa ukunwetshwa kwemikhawulo yokuhamba ngokuqaphela ukuthi abahambi abekho ubungozi obukhulu bokusabalala kwe-COVID-19 kunalokho esivele ikhona esintwini uwonke.
