I-Santo Domingo, iRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican - Ijethi yabakhweli eyayisiya eToronto yenza indawo engacwangciswanga kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican ngoLwesibini emva kokuba umkhweli owayekhathazekile ezama ukubhuqa umnyango kaxakeka, igosa lenqwelomoya lathi.

I-Boeing B757 ifike ikhuselekile kwaye akukho mntu wonzakeleyo, utshilo uSabah Mirza, isithethi somthwali waseCanada iSkyservice. Uthe abasebenzi benqwelomoya kunye nabakhweli bayinqande le ndoda de yafika inqwelomoya kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sasePunta Cana emva kwemini.

“Kwakungekho xesha apho ukhuseleko lwenqwelomoya lwalusemngciphekweni,” utshilo uMirza. "Ngelixa ucango lungazange lube semngciphekweni wokuvuleka ngenqwelomoya, abasebenzi benqwelomoya baphendule ngokukhawuleza nangokufanelekileyo."

Le ndoda, igama layo nobuzwe bayo obungekafumaneki ngoko nangoko, yabanjwa ngabasemagunyeni baseDominican ukuze bayincine.

UMirza uthe abanye abakhweli abangama-201 babekwe ezihotele ngobusuku kwaye bazokuya eToronto ngolwesithathu.

Inqwelomoya yavela eGrenada yaza yema eBarbados phambi kokuba ifike ngokungacwangciswanga. Abaphandi bebehlola inqwelomoya ePunta Cana, isithethi seenqwelomoya zaseDominican uPedro Jimenez uthe.

UKathleen Bergen, isithethi se-US Federal Aviation Administration, uthe umqhubi wenqwelo-moya uxelele abalawuli bezithuthi kwisiqithi sase-US ePuerto Rico ukuba isibane silumkise “ngengxaki yomnyango,” kwaye inqwelomoya yaphambukiswa njengenyathelo lokhuseleko.

Esi siganeko sabangela i-alarm eGrenada emva kokuba indoda ixelele iintatheli apho ukuba isihlobo esasihamba ngenqwelomoya samtsalela umnxeba ukuba sicinge ukuba yayibiwe.

I-Skyservice isebenza eCanada, eUnited States, kwiCaribbean, eMexico naseYurophu.
