Uma isikhumulo sezindiza e-Caribbean sifisa ukuba isikhungo samazwe ngamazwe, noma isikhungo sesifunda, kuhle kakhulu ukwehliswa izintela zokuhamba nezinye izintela zabagibeli. Intela yabagibeli ‘iyintela yamaxhaphozi’ ngoba akekho omunye ngaphandle kowamukelayo oyifunayo, futhi iyadla.

“UHulumeni waseDashi wehlisa intela yamathikithi abagibeli emizamweni yokumisa ukwehla kwezimoto esikhumulweni sezindiza i-Amsterdam International Airport, kwabika abezindaba ngo-2009. Yaqala ukufihlwa ngegama elithi ‘eco’-tax. Intela yokuhamba eyimpikiswano esukela ku-11 kuya ku-45 Euros yasolwa ngokuncipha okukhulu kwethrafikhi yabagibeli phakathi nonyaka ngemva kokwethulwa. Le ntela bekulindeleke ukuthi inyuse cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-395 ngonyaka kodwa umbiko ogunyaziwe uphethe ngokuthi izodla umnotho waseDutch u-US$1.7. Izigidigidi emalini engenayo elahlekile. Abagibeli bebewela umngcele beya ezikhumulweni zezindiza ezingomakhelwane eBelgium noma eJalimane ukuze bagweme intela.

Ingabe lokho okuguquguqukayo kungenzeka eCaribbean? Impela! Abagibeli bazokhetha indawo ehlukile yesiqhingi noma indawo okuyiwa kuyo engenazo izintela, kodwa enelanga, amabhishi nezihlahla zesundu, kanye nokutholwayo okusha kungase kube nokuningi ongakunikeza. Ukuncintisana ngeziqu eziphindwe kabili.

Umbiko wango-2017 we-PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) ogunyazwe yi-‘Airlines for Europe’, unikeze ukubuka konke okuzimele kwezintela zamanje zabagibeli basemoyeni e-Europe kanye nokuhlolwa komthelela wazo wezomnotho. I-PwC ilingise umthelela wokuqeda intela ngokuphelele ngoJanuwari 2018 e-Germany. Eminye yemiphumela yocwaningo: izigidi ezingama-24.6 zokufika ezengeziwe ngo-2020; izigidi ezingu-10.5 zokufika kwezivakashi ezingenayo ezengeziwe ngo-2020; 1.8 billion US$ yezindleko ezengeziwe ngo-2020. Kwalinganiselwa ukuthi isamba sezintela zabagibeli ezikhona zizonyusa ama-US$ 1.2 billion ngonyaka, nokho emva kokuqedwa kwazo zonke izintela u-108% walokhu uzobuyiselwa emalini yentela engaqondile noma kunjalo. Ukuqedwa kwentela yabagibeli bezindiza kuzokhuphula i-GDP yezwe ngama-US$79 Izigidigidi ngokunqwabelanayo eminyakeni eyi-12 ezayo.

I-ICAO yi-International Civil Aviation Organisation. isikhungo esikhethekile seNhlangano Yezizwe. Ihlanganisa imigomo namasu okuzulazula emoyeni kwamazwe ngamazwe futhi ikhuthaza ukuhlelwa nokuthuthukiswa kwezokuthutha ngezindiza zamazwe ngamazwe ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukukhula okuphephile nokuhlelekile. I-ICAO yehlukile kwezinye izinhlangano zokuthutha emoyeni zamazwe ngamazwe, njenge-International Air Transport Association (IATA), inhlangano yabahwebi emele izindiza.

I-ICAO inezinqubomgomo ezicacile mayelana nentela futhi Amazwe Angamalungu ayanxuswa ukuthi asebenzise izinqubomgomo ze-ICAO mayelana nentela emisebenzini yokulawula. I-ICAO Assembly Resolutions iye yanxusa ngokuphindaphindiwe Amazwe Angamalungu ukuba alandele izinqubomgomo ze-ICAO mayelana nentela futhi angakhokhisi intela ekuthengisweni noma ekusetshenzisweni kwezithuthi zezindiza zamazwe ngamazwe. Nokho, Amazwe Angamalungu awafakanga ku-ASA yawo (I-athikili Yentela) ukuzibophezela ekunciphiseni noma ekuqedeni izintela ekuthengisweni nasekusetshenzisweni kwezithuthi zendiza zamazwe ngamazwe.

Amazwe Angamalungu eCaribbean e-ICAO amazwe azimele: i-Antigua neBarbuda, iBahamas, iBarbados, iCuba, iDominican Republic, iGrenada, iHaiti, iJamaica, iSaint Kitts neNevis, iSaint Lucia, iSaint Vincent kanye neGrenadines, iTrinidad neTobago.

Kakade, ngo-2013, eNgqungqutheleni yabo Yezokuthutha Yomhlaba Wonke, i-ICAO yakhipha umbhalo olandelayo ukuthi ufakwe ku-Athikili Yesifanekiso Esimayelana Nentela (TASA) :

“…. Iqembu ngalinye lizozibophezela ukunciphisa kuze kufike ezingeni elingenzeka futhi lenze izinhlelo zokuqeda ngokushesha lapho izimo zezomnotho zivumela zonke izinhlobo zentela ngokuthengisa noma ukusetshenziswa kwezithuthi zezindiza zamazwe ngamazwe, kuhlanganisa lezo zintela zezinsizakalo ezingadingeki ekundizakeni komhlaba wonke. noma okungase kucwase.”

Ngokwe-ICAO intela intela eklanyelwe ukukhuphula imali engenayo kahulumeni kazwelonke noma wendawo, ngokuvamile engasetshenziswa ekundizeni komphakathi iyonke noma ngokwezindleko eziqondile. I-ICAO iphinde yaqaphela ukuthi emashumini eminyaka adlule kukhona ukuthuthukiswa kwezintela zezokuvakasha kwezinye izifunda, ikakhulukazi i-Latin America, i-Caribbean kanye nezinga elincane e-Afrika, kufika ku-USD 55. Ezimweni eziningi, imali engenayo evela ezintela zezokuvakasha njengoba Izimali Zokuthuthukisa Ezokuvakasha kanye nezintela Zokuphromotha Kokuvakasha zingatshalwa kabusha ekuthuthukiseni ezokuvakasha. I-Caribbean ingase ithole idumela lokuba ngomunye wabantu ababi ebhulokhini kulokho.

Izimiso eziyinhloko zentela eziqukethwe kuzinqubomgomo ze-ICAO zivame ukwamukelwa izinhlangano zamazwe ngamazwe kumadokhumenti enqubomgomo. Ezinye izinhlangano zezifunda nezinhlangano zezimboni, njenge-Airports Council International (ACI) kanye ne-International Air Transport Association (IATA), nazo zenze izinqubomgomo ezimelene nentela kahulumeni ebandlululayo nengenabulungiswa kwezokuthutha ngendiza. Inhlangano Yezokuvakasha Yomhlaba (UNWTO), nakuba ingaphikisani nezintela ngokomuntu ngamunye, njengengxenye yesibopho sezimali esiphelele seMibuso, ibheka ukuthi izintela zokuhamba kufanele zibhekisiswe ngendlela eqondile ukuze kugwenywe imithwalo eyeqile kubahambi/izinkampani ngenhloso yokunciphisa izintela ezinomthelela omubi ekuhambeni kanye , ngalokho, ekuthuthukisweni kwezokuvakasha.

Ngaphandle kwalezi zinqubomgomo, iminyaka eyishumi edlule ibe nokwanda okungakaze kubonwe ngaphambili kwezintela ezikhokhiswa amathikithi abagibeli bendiza esifundeni. Lo mkhuba udala ukukhathazeka okukhulu futhi unomthelela ongemuhle ekuthuthukisweni okusimeme kwezokuthutha ngendiza, okuthi ekugcineni kube nomthelela omubi embonini yezokuvakasha kanye nentuthuko yezomnotho kazwelonke.

Ohulumeni baseCaribbean belulekwa kahle ukuthi ngaphambi kokwenza isinqumo, ukuhlolwa okuzimele kochwepheshe abaqeqeshiwe abajwayelene nezomnotho kufanele kwenziwe ngomthelela wentela yabagibeli. Umbono ‘ohlanzekile’ wokuthola imali eyengeziwe esikhwameni, ungase uphenduke inkawu. Okudlala indima ebalulekile futhi okunomthelela omkhulu emnothweni akumele kuvinjwe intela kahulumeni engasebenzi.
