IBAKU, Azerbaijan – I-International Air Transport Association (IATA) inxuse i-Azerbaijan ukuthi yamukele i-ajenda yokuthuthukisa ukuphepha nokulawula ukuze izindiza zikwazi ukwandisa indima yazo njengesisusa sokukhula nokuthuthukiswa komnotho ezweni.
“Izindiza zeseka u-1.8% we-GDP yase-Azerbaijan futhi zihlinzeka ngokuqashwa ku-1.5% wabasebenzi. Lokhu kunomthelela omkhulu, kodwa uma kuqhathaniswa neqhaza lezindiza ezindaweni ezifana ne-Singapore noma i-United Arab Emirates, lapho ezondiza zithatha u-9% no-15% we-GDP ngokulandelana kwazo, kukhombisa ukuthi i-Azerbaijan inamandla angakaze asetshenziswe,” kusho uTony Tyler, we-IATA. UMqondisi Jikelele kanye no-CEO.
Ekhuluma emcimbini wokugubha iminyaka engu-75 yezindiza zezentengiselwano e-Azerbaijan, uTyler waphawula ukuthi “indiza isekela amabhizinisi angaba ngu-AZN 395 million kanye nemisebenzi engaphezu kuka-66,000 kuhlanganise nezokuvakasha ezihlobene nezindiza.” Kodwa-ke, ezinye izindaba ezibalulekile kufanele zibhekwe uma i-Azerbaijan izozuza izinzuzo ezigcwele zomkhakha wayo wezindiza.
Ukuphepha
Ukuphepha kuyinto ehamba phambili embonini. Amazinga angu-900+ abekwe yi-IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) adlale indima enkulu ekuthuthukiseni ukuphepha. Abathwali ababhalisiwe be-IOSA babenenani lazo zonke izingozi elingcono ngama-77% kunezinkampani ezingewona ama-IOSA ngonyaka odlule. Ngo-2009 isivumelwano sokubambisana phakathi kwe-IATA kanye ne-Interstate Aviation Committee ye-Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) yafuna ukushumeka imigomo ye-IOSA ekuqondiseni ukuphepha okusemthethweni.
“I-Azerbaijan ingadlulela ngale kwesivumelwano sokubambisana futhi yenze ukubhaliswa kwe-IOSA kube imfuneko esemthethweni. I-Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) ibilokhu ikurejista ye-IOSA kusukela ngo-2008 kodwa isithunzi sokuphepha sezindiza zase-Azerbaijani sizothuthukiswa yibo bonke abathwali bezwe abafanelekela ukubhaliswa kwe-IOSA,” kusho uTyler.
UTyler uphinde wanxusa uhulumeni ukuthi acabangele ukudinga abaphathi baphansi ukuthi bathobele i-IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) okuyindinganiso yomhlaba wonke yokusebenza endaweni ephephile, esiza ukubhekana nezigidigidi zamarandi zomonakalo owenziwe yimboni unyaka nonyaka. .
Regulation
UTyler ubeke izinto ezimbili eziza kuqala ngokulawulwa kwezindiza e-Azerbaijan.
· Isidingo esiphuthumayo sokuthi i-Azerbaijan ivume i-Montreal Convention 1999. I-Convention ibeka izindinganiso ezifanayo ezikweletini futhi iyisisekelo sokuqashelwa kwemibhalo ye-elekthronikhi yokuthunyelwa kwempahla. “Ngicele uhulumeni ukuthi aqhubekele phambili nokugunyazwa kweSivumelwano kanye nokuhambisana nemithetho ehlobene nayo. I-Russia ne-Kazakhstan—amazwe amabili abaluleke kakhulu ahwebelana nawo e-Azerbaijan—ayobe eseneNgqungquthela ekupheleni kuka-2013. Ngithemba ukuthi i-Azerbaijan izokwazi ukuhambisana nejubane,” kusho uTyler.
· Ngokuhambisana namazinga omhlaba, kubalulekile ukuthi i-Civil Aviation Authority ibe nobudlelwano bezingalo ne-AZAL. Uhulumeni unendlela yokusebenza ukuze acacise ngokucacile imisebenzi ye-CAA. I-IATA ingasiza ngokwakhiwa kwamandla ukusiza i-CAA ikhulise izibopho zayo.
UTyler waphawula ukuthi uhulumeni wase-Azerbaijan ugxile ekuthuthukisweni ngempumelelo kwezindiza. Lokhu kugqame kakhulu kwingqalasizinda yesikhumulo sezindiza esihlaba umxhwele. Kule minyaka eyishumi edlule zombili izikhumulo zezindiza i-Baku ne-Nakhchivan zithuthukiswe kabusha ngokuphelele futhi zenziwa zaba zesimanje. Ngaphezu kwalokho izikhumulo zezindiza ezintsha eGanja, Zakatala, Lankaran naseGabala zivuliwe ukuze zinikeze ukuxhumana kwezindiza ezweni lonke.
“Uhulumeni wase-Azerbaijan kufanele anconywe ngendlela asebenza ngayo ekuthuthukiseni ingqalasizinda ngokubonisana nokusebenzisana nezinkampani zezindiza. Uma ngibheka ikusasa, ngingakhuthaza ubudlelwano obuqhubekayo phakathi kukahulumeni, isikhumulo sezindiza, osebenza nabo kanye nezinkampani zezindiza ezizosebenzisa izinsiza. Singathanda futhi ukubona indlela efanayo esetshenziswa izinsiza zokuzulazula emoyeni zase-Azerbaijan,” kusho uTyler.
Ekugcineni uTyler uphinde wagcizelela ukusekela kwe-IATA i-Azerbaijan njengozakwethu ozinikele ekusizeni ukukhulisa izinzuzo zokuxhuma emoyeni ngokuthuthukiswa okuphephile, okuvikelekile nokusimeme kwendiza.
“Makhulu amathuba okuthi izindiza zibambe iqhaza elikhulu ekuthuthukisweni kwe-Azerbaijan—futhi nakuyo yonke i-CIS. Imboni isanda kuqala ukuxhuma lesi sifunda esicebile ngamasiko nesibalulekile kwezomnotho ngaphakathi kanye nomhlaba wonke. Ukuxhumana okuhlinzekwa yizindiza kuzoba usizo olubalulekile ekukhuleni kwekusasa, intuthuko kanye nempumelelo,” kusho uTyler.
