I-IATA: Ukutholwa kwesidingo sabagibeli kwaqhubeka ngo-2021 kodwa i-Omicron inomthelela

The Inhlangano Yezindiza Yezindiza Yomhlaba Wonke (IATA) imemezele imiphumela yonyaka ogcwele yethrafikhi yabagibeli emhlabeni wonke ka-2021 ebonisa ukuthi isidingo (imali engenayo yamakhilomitha abagibeli noma ama-RPK) sehle ngo-58.4% uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka ogcwele ka-2019. Lokhu kumelele intuthuko uma kuqhathaniswa no-2020, lapho ama-RPK onyaka wonke ayephansi ngo-65.8% uma kuqhathaniswa no-2019. . 

• Isidingo sabagibeli bamazwe omhlaba ngo-2021 sasingu-75.5% ngaphansi kwamazinga ka-2019. Amandla, (kulinganiswa ngamakhilomitha ezihlalo akhona noma ama-ASK) kwehle ngo-65.3% kwathi umthwalo wehla ngamaphesenti ayi-24.0 amaphesenti aya kuma-58.0%.

• Izidingo zasekhaya ngonyaka wezi-2021 zehle ngama-28.2% uma kuqhathaniswa nango-2019. Amandla atholwe ngo-19.2% kwathi umthwalo wehla ngamaphesenti ayi-9.3 aya kuma-74.3%.

• Ingqikithi yethrafikhi yenyanga kaZibandlela wezi-2021 ibingama-45.1% ngaphansi kwenyanga efanayo ngo-2019, ithuthuke isuka ekufinyezweni kuka-47.0% ngoNovemba, njengoba isidingo sanyanga zonke siqhubeka nokusimama naphezu kokukhathazeka nge-Omicron. Umthamo wehle ngo-37.6% kwathi i-load factor yehle ngamaphesenti angu-9.8 yaya ku-72.3%.

Umthelela Wezinyathelo Ze-Omicron: I-Omicron imikhawulo yokuhamba yehlise ukusimama kwesidingo samazwe omhlaba cishe amasonto amabili ngoDisemba. Isidingo samazwe ngamazwe besilokhu sisimama ngesivinini esingamaphesenti amane wamaphuzu/ngenyanga uma kuqhathaniswa no-2019. I-Omicron, besingalindela ukuthi isidingo samazwe ngamazwe senyanga kaDisemba sithuthuke siye cishe ku-56.5% ngaphansi kwamazinga ka-2019. Esikhundleni salokho, amanani akhuphuke kancane afinyelela ku-58.4% ngaphansi kuka-2019 esuka ku-60.5% ngoNovemba. 

“Isidingo sezokuvakasha sisonke saqina ngo-2021. Lo mkhuba uqhubekile kwaze kwaba uDisemba naphezu kwemikhawulo yokuhamba lapho ebhekene no-Omicron. Lokho kusho lukhulu ngamandla okuzethemba kwabagibeli kanye nesifiso sokuhamba. Inselele ka-2022 ukuqinisa lokho ukuzethemba ngokwenza uhambo lube olujwayelekile. Nakuba uhambo lwamazwe ngamazwe lusekude nokujwayelekile ezingxenyeni eziningi zomhlaba, kunomfutho endleleni efanele. Ngesonto eledlule, iFrance neSwitzerland bamemezele ukwenziwa lula kwezinyathelo. Futhi izolo i-UK ikhiphe zonke izidingo zokuhlola kubahambi abagonyiwe. Siyethemba ukuthi abanye bazolandela ukuhola kwabo okubalulekile, ikakhulukazi e-Asia lapho izimakethe ezimbalwa ezibalulekile zihlala zodwa, ”kusho uWillie Walsh, IATAUMqondisi Jikelele.
