Izinkampani zezindiza ezinkulu emhlabeni zibhekene neqiniso elimangalisayo: Ukuze abanye baphile, abanye kumelwe bafe.
Ukwehla komnotho okujezisayo kuyaqhubeka nokulimaza ukugcwala kwabagibeli, futhi kuzothatha iminyaka ngaphambi kokuthi ukuthengwa kwamathikithi kubuyele kumazinga angaphambi kokwehla. Manje, inhlangano yabahwebi emele izinkampani zezindiza ezingaba ngu-230 emhlabeni jikelele incoma ukuzamazama okukhulu embonini - nakuba lokho kungasho amalungu ambalwa eqembu labo.
Kusukela ngo-2008, abathwali bomhlaba abangu-29 bamise ukusebenza, kodwa kudingeka ukuvalwa okwengeziwe, kanye nomjikelezo wokuhlanganisa nokuthengwa kwe-blockbuster, kusho i-International Air Transport Association. I-IATA icindezela ohulumeni ukuthi banyuse imingcele yobunikazi bangaphandle ezinhlanganweni zezindiza futhi bavumele ukuhlanganiswa kwemingcele ukusiza ukuxazulula inkinga yezindiza eziningi ezijaha abagibeli abambalwa kakhulu.
"Asiceli ukutakulwa, uma ubona ukuthi ohulumeni bamazwe nakwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba banikeze izikhungo zezezimali, amabhange noma imboni yezimoto," kusho umqondisi-jikelele we-IATA uGiovanni Bisignani ngesikhathi ekhuluma nengqungquthela ngoLwesibili. Amalungu ale nhlangano enza amaphesenti angama-93 okuhamba kwezindiza okuhleliwe emhlabeni jikelele.
I-IATA ifuna ohulumeni bamukele “isibhakabhaka esivulekile” ngokugunyaza imizila emisha, ngisho nezimo “zekhabethe,” lapho abathwali bangaphandle bendiza beqonde kwelinye izwe.
Ukwenza isibonelo, iBritish Airways PLC indiza phakathi kweCanada neHeathrow Airport yaseLondon; nge-cabotage, izophinde ivunyelwe ukundiza ngaphakathi kwe-Toronto ne-Vancouver, isibonelo.
I-Ottawa ihlela ukwenyusa imikhawulo yobunikazi bangaphandle ezinhlanganweni zezindiza iye kumaphesenti angama-49 wamalungelo okuvota ukusuka kumaphesenti angama-25 amanje. Imithetho iyabhalwa futhi kulindeleke ukuthi ishaywe yiCanadian Transportation Agency, kusho okhulumela iTransport Canada.
UMnu. Bisignani uthe imboni yezindiza, imiphumela yayo yezezimali iye yacindezelwa ukugcwala kwezimoto ezisezingeni lebhizinisi ngesikhathi sokuwohloka komnotho, iboshwe ngokungafanele yimithetho yomhlaba ehlukanisa imizila ngokusekelwe ezweni lenkampani ngayinye ephuma kuyo. Siyacela nje, 'Ngicela. Masiqhube ibhizinisi lethu njengebhizinisi elivamile.’”
“Nikeza izinkampani zezindiza ithuba lokunwebeka ezindaweni lapho kunemakethe ekhulayo futhi zingagcini nje emingceleni kazwelonke,” usho kanje.
Enkulumeni elungiselelwe i-International Aviation Club yaseWashington, uMnu. Bisignani uthe ngale kwesibhakabhaka esivulekile, izinkampani zezindiza zidinga intela ephansi kanye nenkululeko yokuhlangana nomunye nomunye, uma kunesidingo.
"Ikhono lokuhlanganisa noma ukuhlanganisa imingcele lingaba usizo, ikakhulukazi uma isimo siba negazi ngasekupheleni kwalo nyaka," kusho uMnu. Bisignani. "Ebhizinisini lembulunga yonke, kungani kufanele ubeke imingcele ukuhlanganiswa phakathi kwemingcele yezombangazwe?"
Uthe imboni yezindiza zamazwe omhlaba ibhekene “nenhlekelele enkulu” embi kakhulu kunomonakalo eyawuthola ngemuva kokuhlasela kwamaphekula ngo-9/11. Njengoba ukwehla komnotho kunciphisa ukuhamba okuphambili kanye namanani aphezulu kaphethiloli akhwabanisa abathwali, ukulahlekelwa kwezimboni kungase kube u-$27.8-billion (US) ngo-2008-09, kudlule ukulahlekelwa kwezigidigidi ezingu-R24.3 ngo-2001-02 okwabangelwa ukuhlasela kwango-September 11, 2001.
I-IATA ibikezela ukulahlekelwa okungamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-11 kulo nyaka phakathi kwamalungu ayo, kusukela esilinganisweni sayo sangaphambilini sokulahlekelwa kwezigidigidi ezingu-$9. Leli qembu liphinde lakhipha isibikezelo salo sokuqala sezezimali sika-2010, silinganisela ukulahlekelwa yizimboni ngamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-3.8, okuphazanyiswa ukuthunyelwa kwempahla okusebuthakathaka.
Ukuhamba kwabagibeli ngaphambili kwendiza esigabeni sokuqala kanye nesigaba samabhizinisi kwehle ngamaphesenti angu-20 kusukela ngonyaka odlule, uma kuqhathaniswa nokwehla ngamaphesenti angu-5 kwethrafikhi yezinga lomnotho, ngokwezibalo ze-IATA.
Okufaka isandla ekucindezelekeni kwezezimali, i-premium cabin ivamise ukubuswa kulezi zinsuku abahambi abanamathikithi ehliswe kakhulu futhi endizela amaphuzu okuklomelisa. Kungase kuthathe ezinye izinyanga eziyisithupha kuya kweziyisishiyagalolunye ukuthi abandiza abaphambili baqale ukubuyela esibhakabhakeni esimweni esintekenteke, kusho uMnu. Bisignani, wengeza ngokuthi akaboni imali yemboni ibuyela emazingeni ka-2008 kuze kube u-2012 ekuqaleni, kucatshangwa ukuthi izokwehlisa izindleko. izinyathelo ziyasebenza.
"Isikhathi esinzima kakhulu kwakuyi-Air Canada," esho ngenkampani yenethiwekhi ezinze eMontreal, eyalahlekelwa u-$1-billion (eCanada) ngo-2008 futhi yathumela ukulahlekelwa kwezigidi ezingu-245 ezinyangeni zokuqala eziyisithupha zika-2009. Kodwa i-Air Canada yathola u-$ 1- bhiliyoni ekuxhaseni ngemali ngoJulayi, ukugwema ukufaka isicelo sokuvikela ukuqothuka. “Manje isihamba ngenye indlela,” kusho uMnu. Bisignani.
UKarl Moore, uprofesa webhizinisi waseNyuvesi yaseMcGill futhi ovame ukundiza, uthe ngeke kube lula ukunqoba imizwa yokuvikela emazweni emhlabeni jikelele uma kukhulunywa ngemizamo yokukhulula izimakethe zezindiza.
“Kodwa njengoba isimo semboni siya siba sibi futhi siba sifiphele, kungase kube nokuguquguquka okwengeziwe ngenxa yezikhathi ezinzima,” kusho yena.
Izingqapheli zemboni zithi abathwali befa base-Europe njenge-Deutsche Lufthansa AG kanye ne-Air France-KLM basesimweni sokuthola inzuzo, noma abadlali abaqinile bangase babe abakhongi, okuhlanganisa i-Emirates Airline, ephethwe nguhulumeni wase-Dubai.
Uma kwenzeka ikilasi le-premium phakathi kwamalungu e-IATA lihluleka ukuphindela emuva, abasha abadonsa uhambo olude abanamakhabethe ekilasi elilodwa emizileni edlula i-transpacific kanye ne-transatlantic transatlantic bangavela, kusho uProf. Moore.
