I-Uganda yeempahla ze-DAS iitaxi zimisiwe

Umthuthi wase-Uganda i-DAS Air ekugqibeleni yamiswa, kwiminyaka nje emithathu emva kokuba umthuthi ephumelele iwonga lokubuyela emva njengeyona nqwelo moya ibalaseleyo e-Afrika.

Ukusilela, kutyholwa ngokuvalwa komsebenzi okwayekisa ukusebenza kwiManyano yaseYurophu ngo-2006, kuzisa esiphelweni seyona nqwelomoya idumileyo yemveli kwimbali yenqwelomoya yaseUganda.

Imithombo yezothutho lomoya ixelela i-EastAfrican ukuba ingcali yolawulo esekwe e-UK iMenzies Corporate Restructuring kule nyanga iphelileyo ikhuphe intengiselwano apho iDAS Air yathengiswa kwiiNkonzo zoMoya zaseNigeria nge-9 yezigidi zeedola.

Ngaphambili uMenzies waye waqeshwa njengomlawuli wenqwelomoya emva kokuba ingene kunxunguphalo emva kokumiselwa kwayo yi-European Union ngo-Okthobha ka-2006.

Kukholeleka ukuba i-9 yezigidi zeerandi ezifunyenweyo beziphuma kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ze-DAS ezimbini ezisindileyo ze-DC10 zenqwelomoya ebezipakwe ixeshana kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseLondon iGatwick.

Intengiso yeza kwiinyanga ezisithoba emva kokuba umthwali wempahla ephumile kwisithintelo se-EU esachaphazela nezinye iinqwelomoya ezingama-90, ikakhulu ezisuka e-Afrika. Ukuvalwa komsebenzi kuye kwaqhwalelisa, kwanyusa iindleko zokusebenza njengoko i-DAS iphulukene nezivumelwano kwaye yangena idabi elide lomthetho lokubhena kwisigqibo se-EU.

Nangona i-DAS ekugqibeleni yasuswa kuluhlu oluvaliweyo ngo-Matshi 2007 emva kokuphumelela isibheno somthetho, umonakalo wawusele wenziwe kunye neekontraki ezininzi ezilahlekileyo, oko kwenza kube nzima ukusinda kwimeko yokusebenza yeendleko eziphezulu ezingeniswa ngokunyuka kwamaxabiso e-oyile.

Ezine kwiinqwelo zayo zeenqwelo-moya ezisixhenxe ekugqibeleni zabuyiselwa kwiinkampani eziqeshisayo, ziqalisa iziganeko ezikhokelele ekuweni.

UMenzies wakunqumamisa okwethutyana ukubhangiswa kwe-DAS ngoSeptemba ophelileyo ngokwemiyalelo njengoko u-Andrew Duncan waxelela i-Air Cargo Magazine kunyaka ophelileyo, “ukunika i-DAS ithuba lokuza nesiphakamiso sohlengahlengiso okanye ithengise ishishini njengengxaki eqhubekayo, ngaloo ndlela isindisa imisebenzi kunye nokunciphisa ukuphazamiseka abathengi bayo.”

Amagosa omoya weDAS akavumanga ukuthetha ngezi ngxelo okanye abanye bekhomba ukubuya okucwangcisiweyo, besithi baza kukhupha ingxelo kwisithuba senyanga.

Kuyaqondwa ukuba abanini-zabelo basebenza ekuqalisweni ngokutsha kwenkampani yasekhaya, i-Dairo Air, kodwa akwaziwa ukuba oku kuyakwenzeka na xa kujongwa amathuba okuba kulindelwe amabango e-DAS Air afake isicelo kumphathi omtsha.

Iingxelo ezingaqinisekiswanga zibonisa ukuba umphathi weDairo uDaisy Roy ebekhangela inqwelomoya ye-Boeing 747-400 ukuba ibe ngumqolo wolu hlaziyo, kodwa kufuneka ahlanganise iphakheji yemali ye-15 yezigidi zeedola ukuze asuse isivumelwano. .

U-Dairo uza kuba nomsebenzi onyukayo wokubuyisela umva isabelo semakethi evela eMzantsi Afrika iMK Airlines ne-Avient Aviation, ethe yangena ivala isithuba emva kokuba iingxaki ze-DAS ziqalile.

Abahlalutyi basazama ukudibanisa iprofayili yokuzisa inkampani emadolweni ngokukhawuleza, emva kweminyaka engamashumi amabini yokusebenza ngempumelelo.

Kwincopho yayo ngo-2003, iDAS Air yasebenzisa iinqwelomoya ezingama-88 ngenyanga ukuya e-Entebbe kwaye yayinomvuzo wonyaka ongaphezulu kwezigidi ezingama-200 zeedola.

Kwakuxabiswa kwi-260 yezigidi zeerandi kwaye yachaswa imizamo yabatyalo-mali ukuthenga ipesenti ze-40 kuyo ngelo xesha. Ngelixa yayivaliwe kwi-EU, iinqwelomoya zenyanga eziya e-Entebbe zazihlile zaya kutsho kwi-16 kuphela.

Ngeli xesha, i-Air Tanzania iyaqhubeka nokulinda ukufika kwenqwelomoya yayo yokuvala ekulindeleke ukuba ifike eDar es Salaam ngoNovemba ophelileyo.

Inkampani yalela kwaye yahlawula iidiphozithi kwinqwelo entsha yeenqwelomoya ezine eziza kunikezelwa yinkampani yaseYurophu i-Airbus, ekufuneka ihanjiswe ukusuka kwi-2009.

Yayifuna inqwelo-moya ye-Airbus ukuvala umsantsa kude kube ukuhanjiswa, kunye nokuncedisa abasebenzi kunye neenjineli zokulondoloza ukwenza ukufuduka kwi-Boeings eyayisebenza ngaphambili. Ngoku imithombo ithi, ukuhanjiswa kubanjwe yimiba yezemali engasonjululwanga.

Ulibaziseko lunefuthe kwizicwangciso ze-Airline ese-Uganda ese-East African Airline, ethenge inqwelomoya ye-Air Tanzania ekuphela kwayo i-Boeing 737, ukuyisebenzisela iinkonzo phakathi kwe-Entebbe neKinshasa.

Inxalenye yayiyisiphumo sokusilela ukufumana ezi nqwelomoya ukuba i-ATC yayisezindabeni kuDisemba ophelileyo emva kokusilela ukubhabha abahambi abangama-3,000 abangamaSilamsi ukusuka eTanzania naseComoros ukuya eSaudi Arabia kwiHajj yonyaka.

Urhulumente wangenelela waza wachitha i-1.2 yezigidi zeerandi ukwenza ezinye iindlela zokulungiselela abahambi ngezonqulo
