Izindiza ze-SriLankan Airlines "ziba luhlaza"

I-SriLankan Airlines isiqalile ukuguqula imisebenzi yayo yomhlaba wonke ibe “Izindiza eziluhlaza” ezilungele imvelo, iba inkampani yezindiza yokuqala eNingizimu ye-Asia ukuzibophezela okuphelele nokungenamibandela ekongiweni kwemvelo.

Indiza ye-SriLankan Airlines Flight UL 557 yenyukela esibhakabhakeni isuka esikhumulweni sezindiza i-Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) e-Colombo ekuseni ngoMashi 21 futhi yaqala isahluko esisha emlandweni wenkampani ethwala impahla yase-Sri Lanka - indiza yokuqala eluhlaza esifundeni. Indiza, egcwele abagibeli ngokungangabazeki abazokhumbula le ndiza, yahlala eFrankfurt ngalobo busuku.

Isikhulu sezindiza zaseSriLanka uManoj Gunawardena uthe: “Imizamo yethu yokonga isuka phansi iye phezulu enkampanini yezindiza, ngokubamba iqhaza kwawo wonke umsebenzi. Eqinisweni, kwakuyisibonelo esabekwa izisebenzi zethu esasiholela ekubeni siguqule iSriLankan ibe “inkampani yezindiza eluhlaza” ngokugcwele. Ngisho nohlelo lwethu lokugaywa kabusha kukadoti lwenziwa yinyunyana yethu enkulu yabasebenzi.”

I-SriLankan ihambe ngokushesha ezinyangeni eziyisithupha ezedlule ukuze iziphendule inkampani evumelana nemvelo, enezinhlelo eziningi ezihlelwe kahle zokunciphisa zonke izinhlobo zokusetshenziswa kanye nokuphinda kusetshenziswe udoti. Inkampani yezindiza yamukela inqubomgomo esemthethweni yezemvelo ngoMasingana odlule, efaka zonke izinhlelo zayo zokongiwa kwemvelo ngaphansi kwesambulela esisodwa futhi yaqoka nophiko olukhethekile lwamasu emvelo ukuze luhlele futhi luqhube izinyathelo zokulondoloza.

Impumelelo ye-SriLankan ekwandiseni ukusebenza kahle kukaphethiloli ezinhlotsheni zezindiza zayo ngokwamukela izinqubo ezingcono kakhulu idonse ukunaka kwemboni. I-SriLankan isungule umnyango wokonga uphethiloli ngoNtulikazi odlule futhi selokhu yandise ukonga kwayo kukaphethiloli ngesilinganiso esimangalisayo samaphesenti angu-3.91 ngenyanga kuze kube sekupheleni kukaJanuwari. Lokhu kukhuphuke kwafinyelela inani eliphakeme kunawo wonke elingamaphesenti angu-5.63 ekongeni ngoJanuwari 2009. Empeleni, inkampani yezindiza yonge amagaloni e-US ayizigidi ezingu-2.38 (amalitha ayizigidi ezingu-9.11) kaphethiloli ezinyangeni eziyisikhombisa.

Indiza eluhlaza ihilela uhla olubanzi lwezinyathelo zokwenza indiza ngayinye ihambisane nemvelo ngangokunokwenzeka, ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli kanye nokukhishwa kwekhabhoni kanye nokunciphisa amazinga omsindo.

Kubagibeli, isipiliyoni saqala ngekhawunta ekhethekile eluhlaza e-BIA kanye namathikithi angenamaphepha. Ngisho nezimoto ezisetshenziselwa izinkonzo zokweseka indiza e-BIA zaqinisekiswa njengeziyilungele imvelo, nokusetshenziswa okuncane.

I-FlySmiLes, uhlelo lobuqotho lwenkampani yezindiza limangaze amanye amalungu e-FlySmiLes nabagibeli abangewona amalungu ngezipho nokunikezwa kwamamayela ebhonasi ngemikhuba yabo yokuvakasha evumelana nemvelo. Izipho zazihlanganisa amavawusha e-Siddhalepa Gift azosetshenziswa e-Siddhalepa Spa e-Bad Homburg, e-Frankfurt, e-Germany kanye nezimemo ze-Siddhalepa Anarva Centre e-BIA.

Esikebheni, izisebenzi zasendlini zazithwele umyalezo wokongiwa kwemvelo ngokufundisa abagibeli; kube nokusetshenziswa okuphezulu kwezinto ezisetshenziswa kabusha zokudla kusetshenziswa izinto zepulasitiki ezibolayo nezikwazi ukugaywa kabusha; imfucuza yahlukaniswa endizeni eyayizolahlwa ohlelweni lokulawulwa kwemfucuza esikhumulweni sezindiza saseFrankfurt; kanye nezikhwama ezingakhokhiswanga beziphinde zisetshenziswe. Ngisho nesisindo somagazini ababegibele sasincishisiwe.

Ukushiswa kukaphethiloli wendiza kwehliswe ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene. Phansi, indiza yahlehliswa emuva kusukela esikhumulweni sezindiza futhi yadonsa ngangokunokwenzeka ukugwema ukusetshenziswa ngokweqile kwezinjini zayo; ngenkathi abagibeli begibela i-air-conditioning kanye nezinye izinhlelo zanikezwa amandla emithonjeni yamandla aphansi; ukumuka kwakuphezu kweziphephelo ezincishisiwe ukuze kushiswe uphethiloli omncane; kanye nokusuka ngesikhathi kwaqinisekisa ukuthi lezi zinhlelo azisetshenziswa ngokweqile. Indiza ngokwayo yayilungiselelwe ngokuqhubekayo ukugeza okugcwele kwe-fuselage nezinjini ukuze kuncishiswe ukudonsa komoya ngenkathi indiza.

Indiza iphinde yathatha indlela eqondile endaweni ephakeme kakhulu yokonga uphethiloli eya eFrankfurt, lapho yenze khona 'indlela yokwehla eqhubekayo' eyonga kakhulu uphethiloli; ibekwe ngama-flaps ancishisiwe; itekisi ngenjini eyodwa; isebenzise “i-reverse thrust engenzi lutho” ngemva kokuhlala ngokuphambene “nokusunduza okuhlanekezela okugcwele;” futhi yasebenzisa umzila wezindiza okhethwayo, konke ukonga uphethiloli.

I-SriLankan isivele isiza i-Civil Aviation Authority yase-Sri Lanka ngezindinganiso zendawo yezindiza e-Sri Lanka futhi ibamba iqhaza ngenkuthalo ezinhlelweni zezemvelo ezenziwa yimboni yezokuvakasha yezwe leziqhingi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iSriLankan ithole usizo loMnyango Wezemvelo wezwe, kanye neCentral Environmental Authority ngezinhlelo zayo zokongiwa kwemvelo.

Inkampani yezindiza manje ihlela umkhankaso wokutshala izihlahla emagcekeni ayo e-Bandaranaike International Airport.
