Ngaba uziva… Omnye wemicelimngeni esikhe saba nayo njengeshishini ngamanye amaxesha kukuqokelela olovelwano kuluntu ngokubanzi. Uluntu ngokubanzi ngamanye amaxesha lukholelwa ukuba i-COVID lityala lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya, kodwa unike nje imizekelo embalwa elungileyo, ngakumbi eLatin America. Isitofu sokugonya siza kuthuthelwa kulo lonke uluntu ngothutho lwenqwelomoya. Ayizukuba ngololiwe. Akuyi kuba kwiimeko ezininzi ngeelori. Iza kuba ngeenqwelomoya. Siye sakwazi ukususa izixhobo zonyango ukusuka eTshayina, ukusuka eYurophu, ukusuka kwezinye iindawo zehlabathi ngezothutho lomoya. Kwaye ukwazile uku… Ndiyazi ukuba inkampani yakho yenqwelomoya ikwathuthe iingcali zonyango kwilizwe lonke. Ke, ishishini belizame ngenene ukudlala indima enoxanduva nesebenzayo. Ngaba ucinga ukuba ngamanye amaxesha eli shishini libethwa kanobom kuba ngamanye amaxesha lijongwa ngabanye kubemi bethu baseLatin America njengemizi-mveliso yezityebi, izityebi kuphela zokuhamba, kunokuba ibe yindlela yezothutho ezisa ukuchuma kwezentlalo noqoqosho kuye wonke umntu?

UJose Ignacio Dougnac:

Ewe. Ewe, ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba ishishini leenqwelomoya liyimfuneko ngokupheleleyo ukuze ilizwe liphuhle. Ibinjani eLatin America ngokwemiqathango ngokubanzi kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo. Siyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yeGDP yelizwe. Siyazinika… E-Chile, simalunga nama-200,000 engqesho esiyinika njengeshishini lilonke, kwaye sihamba malunga ne-3% ye-GDP. Ke, siyinxalenye enkulu yezoqoqosho, kodwa sikwayinkonzo yentlalontle. Sidibanisa abantu. Sidibanisa iimpahla. Sizisa izinto ezininzi ezisisiseko kuluntu ngokwalo. Ndicinga ukuba, kwaye amanani eneneni abonisa, senze uphononongo phambi kobhubhani malunga nodumo lweshishini ngaphambi kwe-COVID. Senze enye ngo-Januwari ka-2021 kwaye igama leshishini ngokubanzi eChile likhule kakhulu ngaphezulu kwamanqaku ali-15 aphezulu namhlanje kunokuba kwakunjalo ngaphambili.

Ke, ishishini leenqwelomoya lenze inkxaso ebaluleke kakhulu kuluntu lwalapha eChile, hayi ngezitofu zokugonya kuphela, kodwa ngezinto zonyango kunye nokukwazi ukugcina unxibelelwano luqhubeka. Izinto zazisekuqaleni, akukho mntu wayenolwazi oluninzi. Akukho mntu wayesazi ncam ukuba i-COVID iya kuwaphuhlisa njani amayeza okugonya, njalo njalo kunye noqhagamshelo lwalungundoqo. Sisebenze noluntu ngokubanzi, kwaye sasebenza norhulumente ukuze sifumane indlela yokulungelelanisa iinkqubo zethu ukuze senze ukuhamba ngeenqwelo moya kukhuseleke kubantu bethu, kukhuseleke nakubathengi bethu. Kwaye ndiyakholelwa ukuba senze umsebenzi olungileyo ngokwemiqathango ngokubanzi, kwaye yiyo loo nto ubona ukuba amanani aphucukile ngokwenyani yeshishini ngokwalo. Siye saba yinxalenye yesisombululo. Nantso into esiyifunayo. Ewe, sifuna inkxaso ukuze siphumelele koku. Wonke umntu, njengoko benditshilo, ukusuka kumanqanaba ka-2019, ehla nge-64% kumndilili wonyaka. Akulula kwaye ukuze sijongane nalonto, sifuna inkxaso kumaqela ngamaqela achaphazelekayo. Kodwa kudala sizama ukwenza kangangoko sinako ukunceda ukuba yinxalenye yesisombululo kule ngxaki.

UPeter Cerda:

UJose, malunga nokuba sisisombululo kule ngxaki, ishishini libethwe kanobom ngexesha lo bhubhani. Sineenqwelo-moya ezininzi kummandla wethu ekuye kwafuneka ukuba zifake ifayile yeSahluko 11. Sinesiqingatha seshumi elinesibini leenqwelomoya eziseLatin America kunye neCaribbean eziyekile ukubhabha ngokupheleleyo. Abayi kubuya. Ubona ntoni njengemeko yekamva lommandla kuba uyinkampani yeenqwelomoya ekhulayo? Ingqwalasela yakho ayiyoChile kuphela. Ngoku ukhulela kwezinye iimarike. Ubona ntoni ngobume bomhlaba malunga ne-COVID? Ngaba siza kuba neenqwelomoya ezincinci? Ngaba ulindele ukuba iinqwelomoya ezininzi zitshone kwaye zivale? Yeyiphi imbono yakho oyibonayo ukusuka kwinqanaba le-CEO?

UJose Ignacio Dougnac:

Ewe, ngumbuzo wesigidi seedola. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba imeko isezakubanzima. U-2021 iza kuba ngunyaka onzima ngokwenene. Mhlawumbi ngo-2022 izakubanzima nayo. Iimarike zasekhaya kufuneka ziphinde zihlaziyeke kancinane, kodwa zamazwe ngamazwe… Ixesha elide iinqwelomoya, kokukhona uyakuthatha ukuze ubuyele kwimeko yesiqhelo. Kwaye zininzi izinto ezintsonkothileyo njengoko usazi. Kufuneka amazwe okunene ajongane neemeko ezahlukeneyo kunye. Kufuneka ufumane iprotocol. Ndiyazi ukuba i-IATA isebenza kwiiprothokholi ukuseka amandla okuchonga abantu abagonyiweyo, kodwa kufuneka umise iiprothokholi kwaye kufuneka umise amazwe ukuba alungele ezo migaqo ukuze abantu bangene kwaye baphume. Ngoko, akuyi kuba lula. Kwaye ndiyakholelwa ukuba kusekho ukhuphiswano oluninzi. Ubonelelo luphezulu kakhulu kunemfuno kummandla kwaye oko kuya kuhlala kunjalo kangangexesha elithile. Ke, ndiyakholelwa ukuba ukuchacha… Uxolo.

Uyawabona amathuba okuhlanganisa? Ukudityaniswa okuthe kratya kwingingqi okanye ngokwembono yakho njengomthwali weendleko eziphantsi kakhulu, amathuba amaninzi. Ngaba uyayibona i-ULCCs ithatha ithuba lobunzima ukwandisa ngakumbi ummandla wonke?
