Isivumelwano phakathi kwe-United States ne-European Union sizoqala ukusebenza ngeSonto, Mashi 31, futhi sizoqeda imingcele eminingi emandleni ezindiza zase-US kanye ne-EU ukundiza phakathi kwamazwekazi amabili. Abathwali bezindiza abahlukene bazovunyelwa ukuthi basuke noma bahlale ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene kuwo womabili amazwekazi.
Umqondo wemakethe evulekile elawula imizila yendiza phakathi kwe-Europe ne-US ekuqaleni ububambe isithembiso sezindiza ezishibhile nokukhetha okwengeziwe kwabahambi, kodwa abahlaziyi bathi isiyaluyalu emnothweni wase-US kanye nemboni yezindiza ingase ivimbele izinzuzo ezisheshayo.
Izinkampani zezindiza ziyalimala ngenxa yezindleko zikaphethiloli eziphakeme kakhulu kanye nokunyuka kokungaqiniseki kwezomnotho, izingqapheli zemboni zaphawula.
"Ngicabanga ukuthi [isivumelwano] besizosho okukhulu ukube imboni ibingekho esimeni esibucayi esikuso manje," uTerry Trippler, ongumeluleki wezindiza nomsunguli we-triplertravel.com, etshela abezindaba ze-AFP.
"Imboni ikhathazeke kakhulu ngokunciphisa izindiza kunokukhula," esho. “Ekugcineni kuzoba kuhle kakhulu uma lo mkhakha usuzithuntutha. Njengamanje, umgubho uthulisiwe.”
Ukubuka okuxubile
UGeorge Hamlin, umqondisi ophethe wenkampani yabaxhumanisi i-ACA Associates, utshele i-AFP ukuthi, ngokuphambene nalokho, ezinye izindiza ezintsha bezihlelelwe, i-Air France izohlinzeka ngosizo olusuka eLondon luya eLos Angeles kanti abathwali baseMelika bathola izindawo ezifiselekayo esikhumulweni sezindiza saseLondon iHeathrow.

UHamlin uthe izinkampani zezindiza kuzofanele zihlele kusengaphambili izikhathi ezinhle nezimbi ngoku-oda izindiza futhi zithole amalungelo okufika noma ngabe izimo zingezinhle.
"Asikaqali nokuthola inhlansi yamathuba okuncintisana ezimakethe ezivulekile okwamanje," uJerry Chandler, umbhali wezokuvakasha we-Cheapflights.com, utshele i-New York Times. "Kungaba nemizila eminingi echumayo ezimakethe ezingekho njengamanje, ikakhulukazi ukusuka emadolobheni amancane ase-US kuya ezindaweni zase-Europe."
UStuart Klaskin we-Aviation consultancy KKC uvumile, eveza ukuthi ukuvulwa kancane kancane kwemakethe kuzoholela emqhudelwaneni ozohlomulisa amadolobha amancane nhlangothi zombili ze-Atlantic.

I-Pact ivula izinketho
Isivumelwano sivumela izinkampani zezindiza inkululeko eyengeziwe. Ngaphambilini, amazwe ngamanye aseYurophu kanye ne-US bezigcina izivumelwano ezihlukene zendiza ye-trans-Atlantic. Izinkampani zezindiza kwadingeka zisuke noma zihlale emazweni azo futhi zazilinganiselwe izikhumulo zezindiza ezazingasebenza kuzo. Izindiza zeBritish Airways, ngokwesibonelo, kwadingeka zisuke eBrithani. I-American Airlines kanye ne-United Airlines kuphela abavunyelwe ukuhlala esikhumulweni sezindiza i-Heathrow.
Kusukela ngeviki elizayo, iNorthwest, Delta kanye ne-Continental zizokwazi ukusebenzela i-Heathrow noma ezinye izikhumulo zezindiza zaseYurophu okokuqala ngqa.

Ngaphandle kwesivumelwano esisha sesibhakabhaka esivulekile, i-US ne-Europe balungiselela umzuliswano wesibili wezingxoxo ngoSepthemba zokuvula izinkampani zezindiza kubatshalizimali bakwamanye amazwe. Kuyindaba eyimpikiswano e-US, evimbela abantu bangaphandle ukuthi babe namaphesenti angaphezu kwama-25 endiza yasekhaya.
