Ngomhla woku-1 kuFebruwari ngo-1949, iinkokeli zeenqwelomoya ezingoovulindlela zanikezela ngokusesikweni iSikhululo seenqwelomoya sikaMasipala waseSan Jose, singenisa inkonzo yabakhweli bale mihla kuluntu lwasekuhlaleni emva kweminyaka eli-10 yemizamo yophuhliso. Inqwelomoya yokuqala yorhwebo yenqwelo moya eya kumhlaba e-SJC yayiyiSouthwest Airways DC-3 (ukhokho weDelta Air Lines yanamhlanje) enabaqhubi ababini, abakhweli abasixhenxe abangabantu kunye namantshontsho angama-2,550 eenkuku. Ziinkuku kuphela ezehlayo eSan Jose; abakhweli abangabantu baqhubeka besiya kwindawo ababesingise kuyo.
Namhlanje, isikhululo seenqwelomoya saseMineta San Jose (SJC) sibhiyozela amashumi asixhenxe eminyaka yokudibanisa iSan Jose kunye neSouth Bay kwihlabathi. ISikhululo seenqwelomoya sitshintshile kunye neNtlambo esisebenza kuyo, kwaye ngo-2018, iphawule irekhodi ngokukhonza abakhweli abazizigidi ezili-14.3 ngenkonzo engapheliyo ukuya kwiindawo ezingaphezu kwama-50 zasekhaya kunye nezamazwe ngamazwe kumazwekazi amathathu.
“Ibiluhambo olumangalisayo lweminyaka engama-70 ukusuka ekuqaleni kwe-SJC njengenkonzo yesikhululo seenqwelomoya sikamasipala ukuya kwinguqu yaso njengesikhululo seenqwelomoya samazwe ngamazwe esisebenzela iSilicon Valley, ikomkhulu lobuchwephesha behlabathi,” utshilo uJudy Ross, uMlawuli oNcedisayo wezoMoya eMineta San Jose International.

Iqela leSikhululo seenqwelomoya kunye namaqabane ekukhonzeni itekhnoloji kunye nokhenketho loluntu olufuna izithuthi ezingenamthungo ukuya kwihlabathi. ”

Ukujonga kwikamva, iSikhululo seeNqwelomoya sihlala sizibophelele ekuboneleleni nasekugcineni amaziko anamhlanje kunye neenqwelomoya ezininzi eziya kwiindawo ezininzi, ukunika abahambi baseSilicon Valley izizathu ezingakumbi zokukhetha i-SJC.
