Kungani kunendiza enkulu emhlophe yokugcina yokuphila i-Boeing 747- 400, ekwazi ukuthwala abagibeli abangu-490 noma amasosha amakhilomitha angu-7,285 angami, ehlezi esikhumulweni sezindiza i-Grandley Adams International enyangeni edlule ikhishwa ekubhalisweni kwe-FAA ye-N508BB ekubhalisweni kwaseBarbadian kwe-8P-ERI?
Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi lena yindiza efanayo, inombolo yochungechunge engu-29031, inombolo yokubhalisa engu-B18208, eyalethwa e-China Airlines, inkampani yezindiza yaseTaiwan ngo-September 1998, futhi yayeka ukusebenza ngo-Okthoba 2017 yaya endaweni yokugcina isikhathi eside esikhumulweni sezindiza saseCalifornia Logistics. eVictorville (Aircraft Boneyard).
Le ndiza isanda kususwa ukubhaliswa futhi yabhaliswa kabusha njenge-N508BB yinhlangano ye-AAR ngoMeyi 2018, yabe isidluliselwa enkampanini yokwethenjwa ebizwa ngokuthi i-Aero Intelligence, Inc. (Trustee) ngo-Ephreli 2019.
Le ndiza yabe isipendwe kabusha ezimhlophe, izinjini ezilungisiwe zafakwa, futhi yathwalwa isuka esikhumulweni sezindiza esiseningizimu yeCalifornia Logistics (SCLA) e-Victorville, California, (boneyard) ngoMeyi 23, 2019, yayiswa ePhoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX) Arizona. , bese ithuthwa e-Phoenix yayiswa e-Argyle International Airport (SVD) e-St. Vincent ngoMeyi 24, 2019, yinkampani yaseCanada i-Nolinor Aviation.
Yafika e-St. Vincent ngenjabulo enkulu, izolethwa ezingalweni ezilindile zenkampani yezindiza emisha yaseVincentian eqasha i-One Caribbean eneminyaka engu-2 kuphela futhi isebenzisa kuphela indiza eyodwa ye-Beechcraft 1900, ehlala abantu abangu-19. Imithombo ithi omunye wabanikazi be-One Caribbean uyindodana kaNdunankulu waseVincentian uDkt. Ralph Gonsalves.
Enye yase-Caribbean yabe isifuna ukususa ukubhalisa kanye nokubhalisa kabusha le ndiza ye-Boeing 747 esekupheleni kwempilo e-St. Vincent ngaphansi kwe-Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority (ECCAA). Kodwa-ke, i-ECCAA ithe ayikaze ibhalise i-Boeing 747 futhi yafuna isiqondiso e-US FAA ngokubhaliswa kwale ndiza, njengoba lokhu kuzodinga ukugadwa nokunakekelwa okufanele kwenziwe ngokuvumelana nemithetho ye-ECCAA.
UCaptain Paul Delisle, umhloli wokusebenza kwendiza ye-ECCAA, uqinisekise ukuthi isicelo sokuqinisekisa i-747-400 kwakuyisinyathelo esikhulu se-ECCAA.
Waphawula ukuthi njengomlawuli wokufaneleka emoyeni wezizwe ezingamalungu angu-6 enhlangano yolimi lwesiNgisi yase-Eastern Caribbean States (i-Antigua ne-Barbuda, i-Dominica, i-Grenada, i-Saint Kitts ne-Nevis, i-Saint Lucia, ne-St. Vincent), i-ECCAA namuhla inokwengamela i-6 Ama-AOC, izikhumulo zezindiza eziyi-14, kanye nezindiza ezingama-41 kuphela. Eziyisithupha ziyizindiza ezinophephela emhlane kodwa ayikho endizeni eyindiza enkulu yezohwebo.
U-Delisle uthe i-ECCAA ithatha indlela yezinyathelo ezimbili ukubhalisa kabusha i-One Caribbean 2-747. Okokuqala, "Besixoxa ngalo lonke uhlelo ne-FAA," eyanikeza i-Boeing 400-747 isitifiketi sohlobo lwayo, esho. “Besifuna ukuvumelana” ne-FAA kuzo zonke izindaba eziphathelene nesitifiketi se-SVG esingaba khona se-N400BB.
Esinye isizathu ukuthi eminyakeni engu-21 edlule, umanduleli we-ECCAA waqinisekisa iMcDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 yokubhalisa i-Antigua ne-Barbuda yenkampani ebizwa ngokuthi i-SkyJet. Kodwa-ke, ngokusho kukaDelisle, indiza empeleni yayizinze eBelgium, lapho yayiqashwe khona kubathwali abahlukahlukene emhlabeni wonke.
I-FAA yathatha umbono ongemuhle ngesimo kangangokuthi ngo-2002 yasusa umlawuli waseMpumalanga ye-Caribbean ohlwini lwayo lweziphathimandla ezigunyaziwe zokufaneleka kwezindiza zeSigaba 1. "Kudingeke ukuthi simise lokho kusebenza [okusekelwe eBelgium] ukuze sithole isigaba sokuqala," kusho uDelisle. “Isihloko esibucayi.”
Kubonakala sengathi kulandela ukwaziswa okutholwe kwa-One Caribbean mayelana nenjongo nokusetshenziswa kwale ndiza, kanye nolwazi olutholwe ku-FAA mayelana nezimfuneko zokunakekelwa kwale ndiza, i-ECCAA ayinantshisekelo yokuyibhalisa.
Ngemva kwalokhu kuthuthukiswa, sitshelwa ngokwethembekile ukuthi uNdunankulu waseVincentian uDkt. Ralph Gonsalves washayela uNdunankulu waseBarbados uMia Mottley wacela usizo lwakhe ngokuthi le ndiza ibhaliswe Barbados.
Imibala yaseBarbadian yabe isipendwe emsileni wayo, futhi yahanjiswa ngaphansi kobumnyama bobusuku yayiswa eGrarley Adams International Airport lapho isihlala khona manje.
I-Barbados Underground waziswe ngokuthembekile ukuthi uNdunankulu uMia Mottley unikeze iziyalezo kuMqondisi Wezindiza Zezindiza ukuthi le ndiza ibhaliswe endaweni yokubhaliswa kwendiza yaseBarbados naphezu kokuphikiswa okuvela ku-DCA nokuthi lokhu manje sekuqediwe, futhi ibhaliswe njenge-8P-ERI.
Lokhu, nokho, kudala ezinye izindaba ezibucayi eBarbados. Njengoba iyindiza ebhaliswe e-Barbados, izodinga ukuthi isetshenziswe ngaphansi kwenkampani yenethiwekhi yezohwebo yase-Barbadian eneSitifiketi Se-Air Operators (AOC). Kuyenzeka kube khona oyedwa onjalo osebenza nge-charter ophethwe nguVincentian e-Barbados obizwa nge-Executive Air ephethwe nguVincentian John Ackie. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, umlamu kaJohn Ackie okwamanje udonsa ejele lase-US ngokushushumbisa izidakamizwa kanye nokushushumbisa imali. Udadewabo kaJohn usahlala eFlorida.
Saziswa ngokwethembekile ukuthi le ndiza inikezwe ilayisense ngaphansi kwe-Executive Air's AOC ukuthi isetshenziswe inkampani emisha yaseVincentian eqasha i-One Caribbean futhi ngokusobala yaqashwa kabusha enkampanini yase-Dubai ukuze ihambise abagibeli nempahla phakathi kwe-UAE, Africa, kanye ne-St. Vincent.
Njengendiza ebhaliswe e-Barbadian, le ndiza izocutshungulwa kancane kunendiza ebhaliswe e-US, Vincentian, noma e-UAE. Kuzophinde futhi kudinge ukuthi iziphathimandla zezindiza zendawo zibheke futhi zisayine kukho konke ukulungiswa nokuhlolwa. Kuzodinga ukuthi kumiswe uhlelo lokulungisa olugunyaziwe, okungekho nesisodwa iziphathimandla zendawo e-Barbados ezinesipiliyoni se-colossus efana ne-Boeing 747-400. Akukho ngisho isiphanyeko e-Barbados esikhulu ngokwanele ukuthi singahlala i-747 ukuze ihlolwe.
Kungani inkampani yaseDubai yenza ubude obungaka ukuze ifihle ukuthi bangobani ngempela abaqhubi bale ndiza? Uma inkampani enjalo ibifuna ukunikeza izindiza eziqashayo ezingu-747 phakathi kwe-UAE, Afrika, ne-Caribbean, kungani ungamane uqashe noma uyithenge ngokuqondile bese uyibhalisa e-UAE ngaphansi kokubhaliswa kwe-UAE Alpha 6?
Kungani isiqalisi esincane se-Vincentian air charter operator oseke wasebenzisa indiza elayisha abantu abangu-19 kuphela i-Beechcraft turboprop, ethenge noma aqashise indiza eseduze nokuphela kwempilo i-Boeing 747-400 engathwala abantu abangu-490, ngenkampani ethenjwayo, ibhalise it e-Barbados ngokusebenzisa i-AOC yenkampani yezindiza ezinze e-Vincentian ezinze e-Barbados, i-AOC, ukuze iqashelwe inkampani yase-Dubai ukuthi yenze ama- charter phakathi kwe-UAE, Africa, ne-St. Vincent?
Leyo ndiza ingathwala abantu noma amasosha angama-490, noma izinkulungwane zamathani wempahla, izikhali, noma izidakamizwa ngaphezu kwamamayela angama-7,200 we-nautical, ngokungami.
Le Boeing 747-409 izoba seduze nomkhawulo wayo omkhulu wempilo ye-airframe yemijikelezo engu-20,000 ubudala bayo, ayinayo imali ngokwedlulele ukuthi isebenze, izodinga ukuthotshelwa kohlu olubanzi lwamanqampunqampu wesevisi (ama-SB) kanye neziqondiso zokufaneleka emoyeni (ADs). Lolu hlobo lwendiza luwusizo kuphela ezindizeni ezinde kakhulu, ezihambisa inani elikhulu labagibeli, nenani elikhulu lempahla.
Kuyigesi eyingozi futhi engenawo umnotho.
Noma yimuphi umqhubi wenkampani eqashayo angabatholaphi abagibeli abanele e-UAE abafuna ukuya e-St. Vincent ukuze bathethelele izindleko zokuba nobunikazi nokusebenzisa indiza enkulu nemba engaka? Ingabe akhona amaVincentians anele alangazelela ukuya e-Afrika noma eMpumalanga Ephakathi isonto ngalinye ukuze agcwalise izihlalo ezingama-490?
Noma izosetshenziselwa ukuthutha insangu etshalwe eCaribbean iye ezindaweni ezikude?
Mhlawumbe izosetshenziselwa ukuletha izingxenye zezindiza e-Iran ebisebenzisa izinkampani zangaphambili ukuthenga izingxenye ezingu-747 ukuze igcine imikhumbi yayo endala emoyeni.
Ingabe ngempela iqashiswa enkampanini yaseDubai noma enkampanini yangaphambili yase-Iran ezenza umqhubi we-charter wase-Dubai?
Lokhu kuwuhlelo olungajwayelekile futhi lungabeka i-Barbados Civil Aviation kanye ne-International Airport engcupheni yokuhlukaniswa yi-FAA, noma okubi nakakhulu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, amarekhodi e-FAA abonisa ukuthi i-Aero Intelligence, Inc. (Trustee), abanikazi be-N508BB, batshele i-FAA ukuthi le ndiza engu-747 yayithunyelwa e-Antigua & Barbuda, kodwa manje siyazi ukuthi empeleni yayithunyelwe e-St. hhayi i-Antigua. Kungani betshele i-FAA ukuthi bathumela le ndiza e-Antigua & Barbuda hhayi e-St. Vincent? Ingabe lokhu bekuzodala ifulegi elibomvu?
I-Antigua yaziwa kakhulu ngabaqhubi bezindiza futhi iyisizinda senkampani yezindiza yesifunda i-LIAT. Kodwa iSt. Vincent ayikaze ibe nendiza kulo mhlaba omkhulu lapho kuze kube manje.
Izophathani le ndiza?
Insangu? Amasosha? Izikhali, izidakamizwa, izinto zenuzi? Osopolitiki besifunda ohambweni olude lwebhizinisi oluya eMpumalanga Ephakathi? Izingxenye zezindiza noma izikhali eziya e-Iran noma kwamanye amazwe?
Sithemba ngobuqotho ukuthi i-United States, i-International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) kanye nezinhlangano zamazwe omhlaba zokungena ezweni zihlale ziyibhekile le Boeing 747-409 ebhaliswe e-Barbados njenge-8P-ERI. Ubani owaziyo ukuthi yini engase ithuthe esikhathini esizayo futhi iya kuphi?
Kodwa-ke, i-Middle East okwamanje isesixwayiso esithuthukisiwe sobuphekula bezindiza. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi izisebenzi ezizinze eDubai zihlela ukusebenzisa indiza ebhaliswe eBarbados engu-747-400 njengebhomu endizayo ekuhlaselweni kwamaphekula ngokumelene ne-Iran ukuziphindiselela ngokuhlaselwa kwakamuva kwezinhloso ze-UAE? Lokhu kungaba namuphi umthelela eBarbados uma le ndiza isetshenziselwa inhloso enjalo? Ngabe i-Barbados Civil Aviation Authority izoba kanjani nokwengamela okufanele kwendiza enikezwa izinkampani zangaphandle e-St. Vincent noma eMpumalanga Ephakathi?
I-Barbados Civil Aviation Authority akufanele ithinte le ndiza ngesigxobo esingamamitha angu-10. Balungiselela iBarbados ezinkingeni zomhlaba wonke. Uma i-One Caribbean ifuna ukusebenzisa noma ukuqasha le ndiza enkampanini yaseMpumalanga Ephakathi, mayiyibhalise empumalanga ye-Caribbean noma e-Middle East.
I-Barbados akufanele iyithinte.
Sidinga izimpendulo mayelana nalokhu.
