Inqwelomoya ye-Boeing Agasti ihambisa nge-22%

Ukuhanjiswa kwejethi yorhwebo ye-Boeing Co. yehle ngeepesenti ezingama-22 ngo-Agasti, njengemfuno ebuthathaka yokunyanzeliswa kweenqwelomoya zokuhamba ngenqwelomoya ukuba zinciphise izicwangciso zokuthenga iinqwelomoya ezintsha.

Umenzi wenqwelomoya esekwe eChicago ukwathe iiodolo zehle ngeepesenti ezili-11 xa kuthelekiswa nenyanga enye kulo nyaka uphelileyo.

Sekunjalo, u-Boeing uthi uhleli endleleni yokuhambisa i-480 eqikelelweyo ukuya kwiinqwelomoya ze-485 kulo nyaka, ukusuka kwi-375 ngo-2008.

I-Boeing izabalaza nemfuno ephantsi phakathi kokudodobala koqoqosho, nto leyo eye yalimaza abathengi bayo beenqwelomoya. Ikwajongene neengxaki zemveliso ezixabisa imali eninzi ezinxulumene ne-787 yayo entsha, inqwelomoya ekhaphukhaphu eyenzelwe ukusebenza kakuhle kwamafutha.

Ulibaziseko oluphindaphindiweyo lubeke i-787 ngaphezulu kweminyaka emibini emva kweshedyuli. U-Boeing uthi uceba ukuqhuba uvavanyo lokuqala lwenqwelomoya ekupheleni konyaka kwaye abhale i-2.5 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwiinqwelo-moya zovavanyo, ezingenaxabiso lezorhwebo.

Kwiintsuku emva kokubhengeza ishedyuli yamva nje engama-787, uBoeing uthe ngoMvulo uScott Carson wayehla njengentloko yecandelo leenqwelomoya zorhwebo kwaye uza kuphumelela ngosuku olulandelayo nguJim Albaugh, intloko yeshishini lakhe lokhuselo.

Ngokwamanani afakwe kwi-Intanethi ngoLwesine, uBoeing uhambise iinqwelomoya ezingama-28 kwinyanga ephelileyo, ezantsi ukusuka kuma-36 kwangaloo nyanga inye kulo nyaka uphelileyo. I-Boeing, efumana iintlawulo xa iinqwelomoya zihanjiswa, ifumene inani lezicelo zokurhoxiswa kunye nokurhoxiswa okuthile kubathengi.

Ukuhanjiswa kwakubandakanya ubukhulu becala i-737s yendlela enye, imodeli eyomeleleyo ye-Boeing yokuthengisa, kunye nenani elincinci le-777s.

Inkampani ifumene iiodolo ezingama-32 ngo-Agasti, ukusuka kwi-36 ngo-Agasti ka-2008, ebonisa ubunzima obuqhubekayo kubathengi beenqwelomoya.

Iinkampani zeenqwelo moya zinike ingxelo yokwehla kwemfuno yohambo njengoko kubi njengokuwa emva koSeptemba 11, 2001. Amaxabiso aphantsi kakhulu ngemayile nganye. Izivuno zeenqwelo moya zasekhaya zehle ngeepesenti ezili-12.9 ukuya kuJulayi, ngokutsho kweqela lezorhwebo leAir Transport Association. Izivuno kwiinqwelomoya eziwela iAtlantiki ziphantsi ngeepesenti ezili-19.5.

Abathwali abakhulu abasithoba base-US baphulukene ne-600 yezigidi zeedola kwikota yesibini, kwaye ilahleko enkulu iqikelelwa kwikota yesithathu neyesine.

Ngaphandle kwemfuno ebuthathaka yeejethi zorhwebo ze-Boeing, inkampani inerekhodi yokubuyela emva kwee-odolo kwaye iqhuba ishishini lokhuselo elithatha malunga nesiqingatha sengeniso yayo iyonke.

I-787 yeyona nqwelomoya ithengiswa kakhulu kwiBoeing ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Inkampani ifumene iiodolo ezingama-850 zenqwelomoya, nangona oko kubandakanya ukucinywa kwe-73 ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kulo nyaka.

Ebudeni beveki ephele ngoSeptemba woku-1, iBoeing ifumene iiodolo ezintsha ezili-11 kwiinqwelomoya ezingama-737, kuquka ezintathu ezisuka eTurkmenistan Airlines nezisibhozo kubathengi abangaziwayo. Kodwa iiodolo ezimbini ezingama-777 zarhoxiswa.

Abaphathi be-Boeing bathi inkampani ilindele ukubetha ekujoliswe kuyo kwiinqwelomoya ezingama-480 ukuya kuma-485 ezinikezelwe kulo nyaka. Abathengi, okwangoku, bacele ukurhoxiswa kweenqwelomoya ezininzi ezimiselwe ukuhanjiswa ngo-2010-11.

Kwiinyanga ezisibhozo zokuqala zonyaka, iBoeing yazisa iinqwelomoya ezingama-307, zehla kancinci ukusuka kuma-313 ngexesha elinye kunyaka ongaphambili. Kodwa ii-odolo zeenqwelomoya ezintsha ziye zehla zaya kutsho kwi-161 ukusuka kuma-556 kwixesha langaphambili.

IBoeing ngumenzi wenqwelomoya wesibini ngobukhulu emhlabeni emva kweAirbus eseFransi.
