Imboni yezindiza ibhekene "nonyaka wesihogo" ongase ube mubi kakhulu kunokwehla ngemuva kokuhlaselwa kwe-9/11, imboni ixwayise.
UMike Ambrose, umqondisi-jikelele we-European Regional Airlines (ERA), emele izindiza ezingama-79, uthe ulindele ukuthi isibalo sabathwali emhlabeni wonke esimemezela ukuqothuka siphindwe kabili sifinyelele okungenani ku-70 kulo nyaka.
"Manje sesifinyelele eminyakeni engama-35 kulo nyaka," kusho uMnu Ambrose. "Ngibona okungenani leyo nombolo ebusika."
Izinkampani eziningi ezithwala impahla sezivele zimisiwe ngenxa yenhlanganisela yezindleko zikaphethiloli eziphakeme kanye nokwehla kwesidingo sabagibeli. I-XL, okuyinkampani yezokuvakasha, kumenyezelwe ukuthi ayinamali ngenyanga edlule idonsa abagibeli abangama-80,000 nabanye abathwali abanjengoZoom, iSilverjet ne-Oasis nabo baphoqelekile ukuthi bavale.
Nokho, isimo somnotho esintengantengayo sihlangene nokuncipha okuvamile kwabagibeli ebusika kulindeleke ukuthi kuholele ekulahlekelweni okukhulu nakakhulu emkhakheni wezokundiza.
UMnu Ambrose uthe isimo samanje sezindiza “sibaluleke kakhulu, sifinyelela kude” kunesikhathi sangemva kokuhlasela kwe-New York ngo-2001, echaza lo nyaka “njengonyaka wesihogo”.
“Ngo-9/11 kwaba nokuhlasela kwamaphekula okwadala ukuthi abantu bangabe besaba nokuzethemba kwezokuphepha. Lokhu kuyingozi kakhulu - ukulahlekelwa ukuzethemba ekutshalweni kwezimali,” usho kanje.
"Kunezinkinga ezinkulu - ezifana nohulumeni abahlanganisa amabhange - ezihamba ngaphandle kwezindiza futhi ezithatha isikhathi eside ukuzixazulula," engeza.
Ukuphawula kukaMnu Ambrose kunanelwe ngu-Andy Harrison, isikhulu esiphezulu se-easyJet.
“Umhlaba umnyama laphaya,” kusho uMnu Harrison. Wengeze ngokuthi unyaka ozayo uzoba nzima kakhulu ezinkampanini zezindiza futhi akuzona zonke ezizosinda.
I-International Air Transport Association, i-IATA, ilinganisele ukuthi ukulahlekelwa yizindiza zomhlaba jikelele kuzoba ngu-$ 5.2 billion kulo nyaka kanye ne-$ 4.9 billion ngonyaka ozayo ngenxa yokwehla komnotho kanye nenani eliphezulu likawoyela. Lokhu kuqhathaniswa nenzuzo ehlangene yamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-5.6 ngonyaka odlule.
Amasheya ezinkampani zezindiza ahlaselwe imizwa engemihle ngamathemba azo ezinyangeni ezizayo kanti iBritish Izindiza ibone intengo yayo yehla ngezingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu onyakeni odlule isuka esiqongweni sika-£4.50 saya ku-£1.25 izolo.
