Inqwelomoya yoMzantsi Afrika (i-SAA) iza kumisela indlela entsha eya eBuenos Aires kulo nyaka uzayo njengenxalenye yesicwangciso sohlumo olubanzi.
Iinqwelomoya ezintsha kwindlela ephakathi kweRhawuti neBuenos Aires e-Argentina ziya kuqalisa nge-8 ka-Epreli 2009 kwaye ziya kuqala ukusebenza kabini ngeveki. I-Airbus A340-200 iya kusetyenziswa, kwaye iinqwelomoya zihamba ngoLwesithathu nangeCawa ngo-09:50 ukusuka eGoli ukuya eBuenos Aires ngo-16:30.
Iinqwelomoya ziyakuhamba kwangolo suku olunye ukusuka eBuenos Aires ngo-18:30 ukuze zifike ngentsasa elandelayo ngo-08:55 kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya i-OR Tambo International eRhawutini. I-SAA iya kongeza inkonzo yesithathu ngooLwezihlanu ukusuka kuJulayi 2009 ukuya phambili. Abakhweli baqalise ukubhukisha amatikiti eenqwelomoya eziya eBuenos Aires ukususela nge-28 kaNovemba ka-2008.
Indlela eya e-Buenos Aires iza kuncedisana nenkonzo ye-SAA ekhoyo yemihla ngemihla yaseMzantsi Melika eya e-São Paulo e-Brazil kwaye iza kondla iinqwelomoya zenkampani yeenqwelo moya ezisuka e-Johannesburg zisiya kwiindawo e-Afrika, kunye nase-Asia nase-Australia.
“Ukusuka eRhawutini, abahambi banokubhabha ngokulula nge-SAA ukuya kwiindawo eziseMzantsi Afrika ezifana naseThekwini, eKapa, eBhayi naseMonti, nakwiindawo ezili-19 e-Afrika. I-SAA ibonelela abahambi ngokhuseleko, ukuthembeka, ukufika ngexesha kunye nenkonzo elungileyo ezizezona mfuno zingundoqo zabathengi bethu,” itshilo iSAA kwingxelo.
Ukongeza indawo yesibini ekufikelwa kuyo eMzantsi Melika komeleza indawo yenqwelomoya njengeyona ndawo ikhethiweyo yokuthwala phakathi koMzantsi Melika kunye neAsia. “Sinethemba lokuba ngokongeza izihlalo ezithe chatha emarikeni siza kuhlangabezana nemfuno emandla evela kumazwekazi omabini anqwenela ukuxhamla kwixesha lethu elifutshane lokubhabha kunye nenkonzo egqwesileyo ngokusebenzisa indlela ekuMazantsi e-Atlantiki,” utshilo umphathi we-SAA uKhaya Ngqula.
“IBuenos Aires yeyona marike igqwesileyo ye-SAA, ibonelela ngoqhagamshelo olululo kwisiqingatha esisemazantsi soMzantsi Melika, isongeza kwindawo yethu esekwe kakuhle nedume kakhulu eSao Paulo noqhagamshelo olubalaseleyo kwizixeko eziphambili ezikumantla oMzantsi Melika nakuMbindi Merika. ,” wongeze watsho uNgqula.
Ngeli xesha, i-SAA ifumene imfuneko emandla kwindlela yayo yase-Sao Paulo, ekukuphela kwayo indawo yokufikela yenqwelo moya eMzantsi Melika. Indlela yaseBuenos Aires iza kwakhela kwimpumelelo yale ndlela, ivumela i-SAA ukuba iququzelele ukuhamba kwezithuthi kwi-hemisphere esemazantsi. Uthethathethwano lukwaqhuba neenqwelomoya iLan Chile kunye neAeromexico malunga nentsebenziswano yexesha elizayo.
Ukwandiswa kwendlela yaseBuenos Aires kuhambelana nombono we-SAA wokuba yinkampani yeenqwelomoya yase-Afrika efikelelekayo kwihlabathi. Iya kuba sisiqalo sendlela yokuqala ye-SAA kulandela isicwangciso esinzulu nesisisiseko sohlengahlengiso.
“Iqhinga lohlengahlengiso lwe-SAA lisaqhuba, kwaye liza kuphela ngokusesikweni ngoMatshi ka-2009, kodwa lisebenze kakuhle kakhulu kulo mbutho ngokunciphisa iindleko nokunyusa ingeniso.

“Ngoku sikwinqanaba apho sinokucinga ngokukhula ukuze sibeke iSAA kwikamva. Izicwangciso zokukhula ziyaqukunjelwa ngoku ukuze ziphunyezwe kunyaka-mali omtsha oko kukuthi ngo-Epreli ka-2009. Ezi zicwangciso ziyakwakhela phezu kweenzuzo esizenzileyo phantsi kohlengahlengiso endaweni yokumisela i-SAA kwikhosi entsha yobuchule,” utshilo uNgqula.
I-SAA lelona zwekazi i-Afrika lithwala inqwelomoya ezinkulu, ineqela leenqwelomoya ezingaphezu kwama-60. Ukusuka kumbindi wayo oseRhawutini, eMzantsi Afrika, umthuthi usebenza kwiindlela eziya kwiindawo ekuya kuzo kuwo onke amazwekazi amahlanu.
