Abagibeli bezindiza e-Europe bajabulela izinga lokukhetha elingakaze libonwe kanye nokuncintisana ekuhambeni ngendiza, naphezu kwezingqinamba ezibekwa ukuntuleka komthamo omusha wesikhumulo sezindiza sase-Europe.
I-International Air Transport Association (IATA) inikeze ubufakazi bokuthi uhlelo lwamanje lokwaba umthamo ezikhumulweni zezindiza zaseYurophu luzuzisa abathengi ngokukhetha okukhulu nokuxhumana okunwetshiwe.
Izinzuzo zabathengi
Abagibeli kanye nomnotho we-EU bayahlomula emizileni emisha kanye nokukhula kwabathwali bezindleko eziphansi kanye nabanye abangena ezimakethe ezintsha.
Ukuhlaziywa kwe-IATA kuveza ukuthi:
• Izikhumulo zezindiza ezibekwe ezingeni eliphezulu lokuminyana e-Europe zengeze imizila engu-2,000 ngaphezulu esikhathini sika-2010-2017.
• Ngesikhathi esifanayo isibalo semizila edonsa ngamapayipi emide sikhule ngama-27%.
• U-30% wemizila yase-Europe manje isisetshenziswa abathwali ababili noma ngaphezulu, okuwukukhuphuka ngamaphesenti angu-5 kusukela ngo-2010.
Ucwaningo lwakamuva olukhishwe yi-Airports Council International (ACI) Europe, oluvela ku-ICF, lubonisa:
• Ngaphezu kuka-55% wezihlalo zemizila ye-intra-Europe kuqhudelana ngayo nabathwali benkonzo egcwele nabathwali abangabizi kakhulu, okukhule ngokushesha kusukela ekuqaleni kwekhulunyaka.
• Kule minyaka engu-20 edlule kube khona ukuphindaphindeka okucishe kube kabili ekuxhumekeni kwamadolobha amabili ngaphakathi kwe-Europe naphakathi kweYurophu nomhlaba wonke.
“Abathengi baseYurophu banokukhetha okukhulu nokuncintisana okukhulu kunanini ngaphambili lapho benquma ukuthi bahamba kanjani ngaphakathi noma ngale kweYurophu. Lena akuyona impumelelo encane uma ubheka ukuthi izikhumulo zezindiza zase-Europe ziphakathi kweziminyene kakhulu emhlabeni,” kusho u-Alexandre de Juniac, uMqondisi Jikelele kanye ne-CEO ye-IATA.
I-Slot Regulation isebenza kahle
Umbiko we-ACI kanye nocwaningo lwe-IATA luqinisekisa ukuthi imithetho yokwaba umthamo oyindlala ezikhumulweni zezindiza eziminyene zase-Europe ikhuthaza ukuncintisana kanye nokuxhumana okukhulayo. I-Europe inezikhumulo zezindiza ezingaphezu kwengxenye yazo zonke ezibambeke kakhulu emhlabeni. I-European Slot Regulation iqinisekisa ukuthi lezi zikhumulo zezindiza zinikeza amathuba abathwali bezindleko eziphansi futhi abasebenza ngokugcwele ukuze bangene emakethe futhi banikeze ukuncintisana nokukhetha abagibeli.
“Isixazululo sangempela senkinga yezindiza zaseYurophu ukwakha ingqalasizinda yezindiza nezindiza ezengeziwe. Kodwa sesivele sisemuva futhi umthamo awuhambisani nokukhula kwesidingo. I-European Slot Regulation ibe yimpumelelo amashumi amabili eminyaka—ukwaba ngokufanelekile umthamo oyindlala ngokuhambisana namazinga omhlaba, okwenza abasha abangenayo amandla nokuqinisa ukuxhumana. Okubaluleke kakhulu ihlinzeka abathengi ngokwethembeka kanye nokukhetha kokuncintisana. Sincoma kakhulu ukuthi ihlale iyisibonelo esizinzile, esingaguquki, futhi esihamba phambili sokwenza okuhle emhlabeni wonke,” kusho u-de Juniac.
Nakuba i-European Slot Regulation isebenza kahle, imboni yezindiza iyaqaphela ukuthi ingasebenza kangcono nakakhulu. Kubalulekile ukuthi imithetho ye-slot ithole ibhalansi phakathi (i) nokuvikela izintshisekelo zezinkampani zenethiwekhi ezikhona kanye nabathengi abazisa amasevisi ahlinzekwa yizinkampani zezindiza ezikhona; (ii) ukufeza isifiso sabasanda kungena emakethe nokuhlinzeka ngokuncintisana kwezimakethe; kanye (iii) nokwenza imakethe ikwazi ukuzivumelanisa nezimfuno zabathengi ezishintshayo. Ukuze kuqhutshekwe nalezi zinhloso i-IATA, i-ACI kanye nabaxhumanisi bezikhala abazimele basungule iqembu elisebenzayo elizobheka ukuthuthukiswa kohlelo lwamanje okufanele lubikwe kuMhlangano we-ICAO ngo-2019.
Isimemezelo somthamo wesikhumulo sezindiza sidinga ukuthuthukiswa
Imithetho ye-slot ingasebenzisa kahle umthamo omenyezelwe esikhumulweni sezindiza ngasinye. Ukungqubuzana kwenani elimenyezelwe phakathi kwezindiza ezinobukhulu obufanayo kuwuphawu olucacile lokuthi amathuba okuvula umthamo owengeziwe akhona.
“Izikhumulo zezindiza kumele zenze okwengeziwe ukukhulisa amandla okusebenza kwengqalasizinda ekhona futhi ohulumeni badinga ukugqugquzela nokwenza lula ukunwetshwa kwezindiza eziminyene kanye nezindawo zezindiza okufika ngesikhathi futhi ngendlela eyongayo. Kodwa lokhu ngeke kusebenze ngaphandle kokusetshenziswa okungaguquki kwezindlela ezisobala zokunquma umthamo okhona. Kukhona indawo yokuthuthukisa. Kuphela ngokuhlaziywa okuvamile nokungakhethi lapho wonke amandla etholakala khona ukuze kwabiwe izikhala eziningi,” kusho u-de Juniac.
