I-Air Austral iqinisekise umyalelo we-Airbus A380 superjumbos ezimbini eziza kuthwala abantu abangaphezu kwama-800 kuguqulelo lokuqala loqoqosho lweyona nqwelo moya inkulu emhlabeni.
Inqwelomoya esekwe eLa Reunion ithe izakumisa inqwelomoya yabakhweli abangama-840 kwaye iqale ukuzisebenzisa kwiinkonzo phakathi kweParis kunye nommandla waseFransi phesheya kolwandle ukusuka ngo-2014.
Esi sivumelwano siza kubeka i-A380 enkonzweni njengoyena mntu uthwala abantu kweli shishini kwaye iza kwiminyaka engama-80 emva kokuba inqwelomoya yomthi kunye neseyile yokuqala yafika kwisiqithi soLwandlekazi i-Indian emva kohambo lweekhilomitha ezingama-9,300 (iimayile ezingama-5,800) ukusuka eParis kwiintsuku ezili-10.
I-A380 ingene kwinkonzo ngo-2007 kwaye yenzelwe ukuhlalisa abantu abangama-525 kwizihlalo eziqhelekileyo zodidi oluthathu okanye abantu abangama-850 xa imigangatho emibini yeekhabhini zabakhweli izaliswe zizihlalo zoqoqosho.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, abathengi benqwelomoya bagxile ekutsaleni abakhweli bepremiyamu ngezixhobo ezisuka kwiibhedi kunye neeshawari kwiklasi yokuqala ukuya kwindawo yokuma, eneendawo zokuhlala ezimalunga nama-500.
Ukuphela koqoqosho lwentengiso yeenqwelo moya yenze ngcono ngexesha lengxaki yezemali, kwaye iAir Austral ithe yabona imfuno yeenkonzo phakathi kweParis neLa Reunion, indlela yesikhululo seenqwelomoya yayo sele inde ngokwaneleyo yokuphatha inqwelomoya enkulu.
“Sizingca kakhulu ngokuba ngabokuqala ukuqalisa nge-A380 enoxinaniso oluphezulu,” umsunguli wenqwelomoya kunye nomongameli uGerard Etheve uxelele inkomfa yeendaba.
Inqwelomoya yavavanyelwa ukukwazi ukukhupha abantu abangaphezu kwama-800 kwiimvavanyo ezingxamisekileyo zekhabhinethi ngaphambi kokungena enkonzweni.
Iinqwelomoya zeAir Austral ziya kunikwa amandla ziinjini ezivela kwi-Engine Alliance, intsebenziswano phakathi koMbane Jikelele kunye noPratt & Whitney.
Isivumelwano se-A380 siquka iinketho ze-A380 ezimbini ezongezelelweyo zokusebenzisa iindlela zeCaribbean zexesha elizayo.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Esi sivumelwano siza kubeka i-A380 enkonzweni njengoyena mntu uthwala abantu kweli shishini kwaye iza kwiminyaka engama-80 emva kokuba inqwelomoya yomthi kunye neseyile yokuqala yafika kwisiqithi soLwandlekazi i-Indian emva kohambo lweekhilomitha ezingama-9,300 (iimayile ezingama-5,800) ukusuka eParis kwiintsuku ezili-10.
