Bekufanele kwenzeke, siqagele. I-Spirit Airlines izokhokhisa ukusebenzisa imigqomo yabo ephezulu - imali efika ku-US$45 ukuya nokubuya ngesikhwama ogibela naso. Ingabe izinkampani zezindiza ezinkulu zizolandela ukuze zengeze enye imali?
Izinto zomuntu siqu ezingena ngaphansi kwesihlalo zisazotholakala mahhala. U-Spirit uthe uzokwengeza izinsiza zokulinganisa emasangweni ukuze kutholakale ukuthi yiziphi izimpahla zamahhala nokuthi yiziphi ezizokhokhiswa.
Inkokhelo entsha ingu-$45 uma ikhokhiwe esangweni, kanye no-$30 uma ikhokhwe kusengaphambili, futhi iqala ngo-August 1. U-Spirit ubuye akhokhise ukuhlola umthwalo. Inkampani yezindiza ithe ngoLwesibili yehlise imali yokugibela ephansi kakhulu ngama-US$40 ngokwesilinganiso, ngakho amakhasimende amaningi ngeke akhokhe imali ethe xaxa ukuze andize.
Isikhulu esiphezulu seSpirit, uBen Baldanza, uthe ukuba nezikhwama ezimbalwa ogibela kuzo kuzosiza indiza ithulule ngokushesha. Uthe umqondo uwukwenza amakhasimende akhokhele izinto azifunayo, kuyilapho imali yokugibela iphansi. “Ubuhle bayo ukuthi bazokwenza lokho abacabanga ukuthi kuzobalungele futhi sebezokwazi ukukhetha,” usho kanje.
I-Spirit izinze e-Miramar, eFlorida, futhi imizila yayo eminingi idlula e-Fort Lauderdale iye e-Latin America.
Noma kungumdlali omncane, izindiza ezinkulu kungenzeka zibukele ukuze zibone ukuthi amakhasimende azimisele yini ukukhokhela izinto zokuhamba. Abekho abathwali abakhulu abenze izinguquko ezisheshayo ezinkokhelweni zabo ngoLwesibili ekuseni.
Izimali zokuhlola izikhwama kuzinkampani zenethiwekhi ezinkulu zase-US zaqala ngo-2008. Ekuqaleni, abahambi abaningi babecabanga ukuthi ngeke bahlale. Kodwa manje zonke izindiza ezinkulu ngaphandle kweNingizimu-ntshonalanga neJetBlue ziyakhokhisa ukuhlola isikhwama ezindizeni zasekhaya.
Siyazibuza ukuthi izoba malini uma sebeqala ukushaja indawo yokugcina ngaphansi kwesihlalo?
