Ii-Airlines zibongoze ukuba zibuyisele imali, zongeze ixesha levawutsha kwiinqwelomoya ezirhoxisiweyo

• Iingxelo zabaThengi kunye ne-PIRG bongoza iinqwelomoya ukuba zibonelele ngembuyiselo epheleleyo yeenqwelomoya eziye zarhoxiswa ngexesha lendyikitya yokufa njengoko indlela yokuphelelwa lixesha yevawutsha
• Amaqela abiza ukuba iinqwelomoya zandise imihla yokuphela kwevawutsha ubuncinci ukuya esiphelweni ngo-2022
• Ileta yamaqela abathengi yabhala ukuba izikhalazo kwiSebe lezoThutho laseMelika malunga nokubuyiselwa kwemali yenqwelomoya ziye zenyuka kakhulu kunyaka ophelileyo.

Ngomhla wokukhumbula unyaka omnye we-COVID-19 kuzwelonke usondela, iiNgxelo zabaThengi kunye ne-US PIRG bathumele ileta kwiinqwelomoya ezilishumi zasekhaya ezibabiza ukuba babuyisele imali ngokupheleleyo kubathengi abarhoxisiwe okanye bachatshazelwe ngulo bhubhane. Okona kuncinci, amaqela abathengi abongoza iinqwelomoya ukuba zandise imihla yokuphela kweevawutsha abazikhuphele iinqwelomoya ezirhoxisiweyo ukuphela kuka-2022 okanye nangaphezulu.

"Izigidi zabantu baseMelika ababhukishe iinqwelomoya ngenkuthalo ngo-2020 bathintelwa ukuba bangahambi ngenqwelomoya ngenxa yokutshixwa ngurhulumente kunye nenkxalabo yezokhuseleko eziswe ngubhubhani wehlabathi wenkulungwane," utshilo uWilliam J. McGee, uMcebisi ngezoPhapho. Imibiko yabathengi. “Ishishini leenqwelo moya lifumene inkxaso ethe xhaxhe kubahlawuli berhafu ngelixa liqinisa amakhastoma abathengi balo kwaye liphatha iidola zabo abazisebenzele nzima njengemali mboleko engenanzala. Lixesha lokuba unike abathengi imbuyekezo ekudala ilindelwe ebafaneleyo. ”

Ileta yamaqela abathengi yabhala ukuba izikhalazo kwiSebe lezoThutho laseMelika malunga nokubuyiselwa kwemali yenqwelomoya ziye zenyuka kakhulu kunyaka ophelileyo. Ngo-2019, abathengi bangenise izikhalazo ezili-1,574 zizonke malunga nokubuyiselwa kwemali kwi-DOT. Kunyaka ophelileyo, eli nani lonyuke izihlandlo ezingama-57 laya kwizikhalazo ezibuyiselwayo ezingama-89,518.

IiNgxelo zabaThengi kuye kwaqhagamshelwana nabathengi abaninzi abanxunguphele ngenxa yokuba bengafumani mbuyekezo ngexesha lokutshixwa kwezinto kwaye banenkxalabo yokuba abanakukwazi ukuhamba ngaphambi kokuba iivawutsha ziphelelwe. Uhlalutyo olwenziwe yiTripAction, inkampani elawula ezohambo kumashishini, ifumanise ukuba iipesenti ezingama-55 zeetikiti ezingasetyenziswanga ziya kuphelelwa ngo-2021, ize iipesenti ezingama-45 ziphele ngo-2022.

Abakhweli abaninzi bathintelwe ukuba babhabhe ngenxa yezithintelo zikarhulumente, izaziso zempilo yoluntu, okanye iimeko ezinzima zonyango ezenza ukuba ukubhabha ngexesha lobhubhane kungakhuselekanga. Zininzi kakhulu iihambo abazibhukishileyo ezingasokuze zenzeke, ngenxa yokurhoxiswa (hayi ukuhlehliswa) kweenkomfa, iindibano, imitshato, ukuthweswa izidanga kunye nokudibana kosapho.

Ngelixa abakhweli kwiinqwelomoya ezirhoxisiwe ziinqwelomoya banelungelo lokufumana imbuyiselo epheleleyo phantsi komthetho womdibaniso, uhlalutyo lwenkongolo lufumanise ukuba abanye abathwali banikezela ngeivawutsha njengokhetho olungagqibekanga, efuna abakhweli ukuba bathathe amanyathelo ongezelelweyo ukufumana ukubuyiselwa imali. Iinqwelomoya ezininzi zilinde kwade kwangumzuzu wokugqibela ukuba zirhoxise iinqwelomoya ezihleliweyo, nto leyo ibangele abakhweli abachaphazelekayo ukuba bacime amatikiti abo kwaye baphulukane nelungelo labo elisemthethweni lokubuyiselwa imali.

"Kuyathuka kwaye akulunganga ukuba iinqwelomoya azibonisanga mbuyiselo kubo bonke abathengi abachaphazelekayo ngulo bhubhane," utshilo uTeresa Murray, uMlawuli weConsumer Watchdog we-US PIRG. “Ngokuqinisekileyo abathengi bebengenakuyibona kusengaphambili intlekele eyenzeka kube kanye ebomini. Uphando lwethu lubonakalisile ukuba abahambi abanezicwangciso ezirhoxisiweyo kufuneka bahambe kwimigaqo-nkqubo yokubuyiselwa kwemali enokubhalwa liqela lamagqwetha. Bajongene nokuqonda umahluko phakathi kwekhredithi yendiza okanye ikhredithi yohambo okanye ivawutsha yokuhamba kunye nezibonelelo ezifanayo ezenziwa ziinqwelomoya ukuphepha ukunika abantu imali ekulula ukuyiqonda epokothweni. ”

Uphononongo lweeNgxelo zabaThengi lwemigaqo-nkqubo yevawutsha yenqwelomoya ifumene imigaqo-nkqubo esithoba eyahlukileyo phakathi kweenqwelomoya ezilishumi ezahlukeneyo. Uninzi lwale migaqo kunzima ukuyifumana kwiiwebhusayithi zeenqwelo moya, kwaye inkcazo yeenqwelomoya malunga nemigaqo-nkqubo yazo inokudideka kwaye ngamanye amaxesha iphikisane, isekwe kwimigaqo ephikisanayo yemihla eyahlukeneyo yokubhukisha, ukuhamba kunye nokucinywa.

Ileta yamaqela abathengi yathunyelwa kwii-CEO zezi nqwelo moya zicwangcisiweyo zilandelayo: IAlaska Airlines, Allegiant Air, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, kunye United Airlines.
