Umcimbi ugcizelela amandla epolitiki yomgqomo wengulube eJapan. Isikhumulo sezindiza i-Ibaraki, esidle ama-yen ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-22 (cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-220) ukuze kwakhiwe, sesiphenduke uphawu lwamashumi eminyaka esizweni achitha imali ngobuqili emisebenzini yemisebenzi yomphakathi engenamsebenzi egcwele izwe lonke. Isikhumulo sezindiza ngokwaso kulindeleke ukuthi silahlekelwe ngama-yen ayizigidi ezingama-20 unyaka waso wokuqala sisebenza.
“Awukho umthetho wesikhumulo sezindiza eJapane; kunqunywa ngezizathu zezombangazwe zendawo,” kusho uGeoff Tudor, umhlaziyi oyinhloko we-Japan Aviation Management Research, uphiko lwezokucwaninga ngezindiza. “Kungakho kunezikhumulo zezindiza ezintathu esifundeni saseKansai: Kansai International, Itami Airport kanye neKobe Airport.”

Isikhumulo sezindiza i-Ibaraki, esisendaweni engamakhilomitha angu-80 ukusuka eTokyo, okuyimizuzu engu-90 ngebhasi ukusuka esiteshini saseTokyo, sihlose ukuba isikhumulo sezindiza “sesibili” esiya eNarita International naseHaneda Airport, okuyizikhungo ezimbili eziyinhloko zenhloko-dolobha.
Ngokuqondene nomkhakha wezokuvakasha wase-Ibaraki, kuncane kakhulu esifundeni ukuheha izivakashi zaseKorea: Indawo iyisicaba futhi inama-megastores esitayela sase-US. Udumo lwalesi sifunda luthi iKairakuen, enye yezingadi ezintathu ezaziwa kakhulu eJapane, kanye nekhono layo ekwenzeni i-natto, isidlo saseJapane esibabayo sikabhontshisi wesoya ovutshiwe abaningi abakubheka njengokunambitheka okuzuziwe.
Izinkampani ezimbili zenethiwekhi ezihamba phambili zase-Japan, i-Japan Airlines Corp., esanda kufaka isicelo sokuvikelwa kokuqothuka okukhulu kwezwe okungesona esomnotho, kanye ne-All Nippon Airways Co. zenqabile ukundizela esikhumulweni sezindiza i-Ibaraki.

Izikhumulo zezindiza zaseTokyo iNarita International kanye neHaneda zikwazile ukunikeza izinsizakalo ezintsha ezinenzuzo enkulu kubaphathi ababili kulo nyaka okokuqala ngqa emashumini eminyaka. I-Narita izokwandisa umthamo wayo ngo-20%, kuyilapho i-Haneda izongeza umzila wezindiza omusha, ukwandisa umthamo wawo ngama-40%. Zombili izikhumulo zezindiza zisebenza ngokugcwele.
NgoLwesine, i-Asiana Airlines yaseNingizimu Korea izokwethula indiza yansuku zonke exhumanisa isikhumulo sezindiza i-Ibaraki kanye neSeoul's Incheon. Isikhumulo sezindiza i-Ibaraki naso simatasatasa ukuze sibe isango lase-Tokyo labathwali bezindleko eziphansi ngokungaphezu kokunciphisa izindleko zaso zokufika lapho kuqhathaniswa ne-Narita ne-Haneda.

Noma kunjalo, Isikhumulo Sezindiza sase-Ibaraki sesiwuphawu lwethonya elingafanele lezikhulu zaseJapane ngaphakathi kwenkonzo yezokuthutha. Iqembu elisha leDemocratic Party of Japan, elithathe izintambo ngonyaka odlule, lifunge ukuthi lizobhidliza amandla ezikhulu zezwe.
USeiji Maehara, ungqongqoshe omusha wezokuthutha eJapan, ukugxekile ubudlelwano phakathi kweLiberal Democratic Party kanye nemboni yezokwakha, okuholele kumaphrojekthi wengqalasizinda amakhulu adonse iminyaka. Iphrojekthi enkulu yedamu esakhiwa ngemva kweminyaka engu-50 yokuhlela nokwakhiwa, kanye nesamba sezigidigidi ezingu-5 zamaRandi, yamiswa ngonyaka odlule nguMnu. Maehara.
Ubelokhu ephikisana nokwandisa izinkonzo esikhumulweni sezindiza saseHaneda—esifinyeleleka kalula enkabeni yedolobha laseTokyo. "Bengithi i-Haneda kufanele ivule amahora angu-24 kanye nesikhumulo sezindiza," kusho uMnu. Maehara esithangamini sabezindaba ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka. "Singathanda ukuya kule ndlela kancane kancane."
