EManila, ePhilippines – Kuqubuka amafu amnyama embonini yezokuvakasha neyezokuvakasha yasendaweni ngemuva kokuthi i-US Federal Aviation Administration yehlise izinga lokuphepha kwezindiza ePhilippines ngesonto eledlule futhi kwabeka engcupheni imigomo kahulumeni kulo nyaka.

Umthelela mubi kakhulu embonini okulindeleke ukuthi iqoqe imali efinyelela ku-$4.8 billion ngo-2008-ngaphezu kokuphindwe kabili kwezimali ezitshaliwe ezizongena embonini yezimayini kanye nengxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yemali ethunyelwa yidola ethunyelwa ekhaya unyaka ngamunye ngovela kwamanye amazwe. AbasePhilippines.

Engxoxweni, uNobhala wezokuVakasha uJoseph “Ace” H. Durano wayibukela phansi imiphumela esheshayo yokwehliswa kwe-FAA, kodwa wavuma ukuthi “kunezinsongo zesikhathi eside” embonini yezokuvakasha—esanda kuqala ukuguquka—uma udaba lukhona. yokuphepha emoyeni ayizange ixazululwe ngokushesha.

"Kubaluleke kakhulu kithina ukuthi sikwazi ukulawula umbono," esho. “Esingakufuni ukuthi abantu bangaphandle babe nomuzwa wokuthi [umkhakha wezindiza ePhilippines] awuphephile.”

Ukwehluleka ukuphatha lo mbono, wachaza, kunamandla okunikeza izwe iso elimnyama, hhayi kuphela kumaflaya aseMelika, kodwa nemakethe yezokuvakasha yomhlaba wonke esathatha kakhulu izintambo kuziphathimandla zase-US lapho kuphakama izindaba zokuphepha emoyeni.

U-Durano uthe kunzima ukuhlola umthelela osheshayo wokwehla kwe-FAA embonini yezokuvakasha yase-Philippine, ikakhulukazi njengoba kungakacaci ukuthi iziphathimandla zezindiza zomphakathi zakwamanye amazwe zizolandela yini futhi ziqinise imingcele yezokuphepha ezindizeni eziya futhi zibuya ePhilippines.

Isikhulu sezokuvakasha siveze, nokho, ukuthi imakethe yezokuvakasha yase-US-Philippine izoba ngeyokuqala ukuthatha isinqumo seviki eledlule se-FAA sokuhlanganisa izwe “eSigabeni sesi-2” kanye namazwe anjenge-Indonesia, Kiribati, Ukraine, Bulgaria. kanye ne-Bangladesh.

Kuyiqembu elingajabulisi emehlweni abahambi baseMelika abakhathalela ukuphepha ikakhulukazi njengoba umkhakha wezindiza e-Indonesia waziwa ngezingozi zezindiza nokuphahlazeka, okuvame ukusolwa ngengqalasizinda yezokuphepha esikhumulweni sezindiza ebuthaka, ukuqeqeshwa okungekuhle kwabaphathi bethrafikhi yezindiza kanye nokunakekelwa kwezindiza okungahleliwe.

Imakethe enkulu
NgokukaDurano, cishe amaphesenti angu-18 abahambi abalindelwe abayizigidi ezingu-3.4 abazovakashela ePhilippines kulo nyaka bazovela e-United States.

"Lena yimakethe okungenzeka ukuthi izothinteka," esho, enezela ukuthi isimo esibi kakhulu se-DOT uma isinqumo se-FAA singahlehlisiwe ukubona "ukukhula okuphansi" kwezivakashi ezivela e-US.

"Ngenhlanhla yethu, isabelo (se-US) emakethe yezokuvakasha siyehla, futhi lokhu kulindeleke ukuthi kuqhubeke ukwehla," engeza.

Noma kunjalo, umthelela wanoma yikuphi ukwehla kwemakethe yezokuvakasha yangaphakathi yase-US awunakubukelwa phansi njengoba izivakashi ezisuka e-United States ziyizivakashi ezihamba phambili zezwe njalo, zivame ukugigiyela futhi zishintshisane ngokuhlonishwa okuphezulu nemakethe yase-Korea kunoma yimuphi unyaka.

Okunye okubi: abavakashi nabahambi abavela e-US-iningi labo eliphuma kwamanye amazwe lasePhilippines elibuyela ekhaya ukuvakashela izihlobo-futhi bangabanye bezivakashi ezichitha imali enkulu ezweni, bakhipha imali ecishe iphindwe kabili kune-median $90 ngosuku esetshenziswa yisivakashi esijwayelekile, nokuhlala. cishe ngokuphindwe kabili kunezinye izizwe ngokwesilinganiso.

Lolu songo alukaphunyuki ekunakeni kwemboni yezokuvakasha yakuleli, nayo ezimisele ngokuqhakambisa ezokuvakasha kuleli.

Ukushiyeka
“[Ukwehliswa kwe-FAA] kusithinta kabi isithombe sezwe, futhi lokho kuvame ukuvala izivakashi, okungase kuholele ekufikeni okuncane,” kusho umongameli wePhilippine Travel Agencies Association uJose Clemente engxoxweni. "Ukwehliswa kunikeza isithombe sokuthi abathwali bethu abaphephile futhi abathembekile."

Ngempela, ukuhlehla kusongela ukucisha ukuzuza okwenziwe imboni yezokuvakasha yasekhaya-okubekwe kugxekwe ngokuphindiwe yiqiniso lokuthi ezinye zezinkampani ezinkulu zezwe seziqalile ukucwilisa imali kumaphrojekthi amakhulu amahhotela nezindawo zokungcebeleka zilindele ukukhula kwezokuvakasha.

UDurano weDOT uthe uhulumeni wenza konke okusemandleni ukuguqula isinqumo se-FAA. Nokho, esalinde noma yikuphi ukuthuthukiswa, uthe umthwalo wokugcina imboni yezokuvakasha usezingeni eliphezulu wehla ngokungalingani ezindizeni zasendaweni, ikakhulukazi iPhilippine Airlines.

“Ngezinga elikhulu, kuzoncika kubo ekudambiseni ukukhathazeka ngokuphepha kohambo lwendiza lwasePhilippines,” esho.
