Iziphathimandla zezindiza zaseTanzania zayihoxisa okwesikhashana ilayisense yokusebenza ye-FastJet kuze kube sekupheleni kukaJanuwari wonyaka ozayo, icaphuna ukwesulwa kohambo lwayo kanye nokuqoqwa kwezikweletu ezinkulu inkampani yezindiza eyikweleta osonkontileka bayo kanye nohulumeni waseTanzania.
Iziphathimandla zezindiza endaweni yezohwebo eTanzania eDar es Salaam zithe ngoMsombuluko iFastJet yehlulekile ukubhekana nezinkinga zokusebenza okuholele ekutheni kube nokuphazamiseka okukhulu kwendiza.
Izikhulu zezindiza zathi ngasekupheleni kwesonto eledlule ukuthi izindiza zayo zizokhanselwa ekupheleni kukaJanuwari.
ITanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) ithe ngoMsombuluko iFastjet Tanzania isilahlekelwe yiziqu zayo zokusebenza eTanzania ngenxa yokuhoxiswa njalo kwezindiza zayo zansuku zonke.
Isikhulu siphinde sengeza ngokuthi inkampani yezindiza yesabelomali sase-Afrika ikweleta imali enkulu kubahlinzeki bezinsizakalo, okuhlanganisa ne-TCAA. Uveze ukuthi iFastjet ikweleta imali elinganiselwa ku-US$600,000 (Tshs 1.4 billion) kuhulumeni waseTanzania ngokuhlinzeka ngezinsiza ezihlanganisa ezokuphepha nezinye izimali zokulawula.
UMqondisi-Jikelele we-TCAA u-Hamza Johari ucele bonke abahlinzeki bezinsizakalo abakweletwa yi-FatstJet ukuthi bathumele ama-invoyisi abo ku-Civil Aviation Authority ukuze bathathelwe izinyathelo.
Iziphathimandla zikhiphe isaziso sezinsuku ezingu-28 sokuthi inkampani yezindiza ilethe izinhlelo zayo zezimali nezamabhizinisi ngemva kokuba inkampani ithathwe abatshalizimali baseTanzania.
UJohari uthe i-FastJet ayinazo izindiza ezanele zokuhamba, isimo esiholele ekutheni balahlekelwe yiziqu zokwenza ibhizinisi kuleli zwe lase-Afrika. “Sicela abantu babheke ezinye izinkampani zezindiza njengoba iFastjet ingakwazi ukusebenza,” usho kanje.
I-Fastjet ifake isaziso ngesonto eledlule ebithi isiluhoxisile lonke uhambo obeluhlelelwe uDisemba noJanuwari 2019 ngenxa yezinkinga zokusebenza, engazichazanga, okuphoqe amakhasimende asewabhukile amathikithi ukuthi abheke ezinye izinkampani zezindiza.
Kubikwa ukuthi inkampani yezindiza yamisa izindiza zayo zakuleli nezangaphandle, yase iphoqa abagibeli abangaphezu kwekhulu ukuthi balale edolobheni.
“Besilumisile lonke uhambo lwangaphandle lweFastjet kusukela kuqale le nyanga kulo nyaka ngemuva kokubona ukuthi inkampani yezindiza ibhekene nenkinga yemali. Inkampani izophinde iqhubeke nohambo lwangaphandle ngemuva kokuthi seneliseke ngokugcwele ukuthi inamandla okusebenza,” kusho uJohari.
I-FastJet yethula izindiza zayo ezihleliwe zabagibeli ngo-2012 phakathi kwezimo ezinzima eTanzania. Isebenzisa izindiza zayo zesifunda ukusuka eDar es Salaam kuya eLusaka eZambia, Harare (Zimbabwe), Maputo (Mozambique), naseGoli eNingizimu Afrika.
Zonke izindiza eziya noma ezibuya eNingizimu Afrika, eZimbabwe, naseMozambique azikathinteki kule nkinga yenkampani yezindiza.
ITanzania iphakathi kwamazwe ase-Afrika acebile kwezokuvakasha, kodwa ebhekene nezinkinga zezokuthutha ngezindiza cishe iminyaka engamashumi amane ngemuva kokuwa kwe-East African Airways (EAA), eminyakeni engu-40 edlule, kwaholela ekusungulweni kwe-Air Tanzania Company (ATCL) ukundiza ngesivinini somnenke kusukela lapho.
I-PrecisionAir kuphela, okuyinkampani yezindiza yasendaweni ehamba phambili ezizimele, esinde esibhakabhakeni esinesiyaluyalu saleli zwe lase-Afrika iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabili.
I-PrecisionAir manje indizela ezindaweni eziningi ezibalulekile zaseTanzania okuhlanganisa idolobha lezivakashi i-Arusha, iMoshi emagqumeni eNtaba iKilimanjaro, isiqhingi sezokuvakasha saseZanzibar, kanye nedolobha laseLake Victoria iMwanza. Inkampani yezindiza iphinde ixhumanise amadolobha abalulekile ezivakashi namabhizinisi aseTanzania nenhloko-dolobha yaseKenya, iNairobi, isikhungo se-safari eMpumalanga Afrika.
Ukumiswa kwezindiza zasekhaya ze-FastJet eTanzania kungenye futhi inkinga kubagibeli njengoba sikhula isidingo sezihlalo zokuthutha emoyeni ezengeziwe.
