Iintlobo ngeentlobo zeentlawulo ezongeziweyo kwiinqwelomoya nangeeholide bezisoloko zisematheni kwezi veki zimbalwa zidlulileyo. Kodwa zithetha ntoni kanye kanye?
Ukunyuka kwexabiso leoyile kukhokelele kwiBritish Airways naseVirgin Atlantic, phakathi kwabanye, ukubhengeza ukunyuka okuthe chatha kwintlawulo yepetroli ukunceda ekuhlawuleni amatyala enyuka ngokukhawuleza.
Thatha iBritish Airways. Kutshanje inyuse ixabiso elingaphezulu kwepetroli ukusuka kwi- £ 26 ukuya kwi- £ 32 ukubuya kwiinqwelomoya ezihamba kancinci, ukusuka kwi- £ 126 ukuya kwi- £ 156 kwiinqwelomoya, kunye nokusuka kwi- £ 158 ukuya kwi- £ 218 kwiinqwelomoya ngaphezulu kweeyure ezilithoba. I-BA ibanga ukuba iintlawulo ezongeziweyo zezona ndlela zicace gca zokubonisa, kunye nokudlulisa, iindleko zeenqwelo moya ezihamba ngokukhawuleza kubathengi. Kodwa ndicela ukwahluka.
Olu nyuselo lwamva nje lolwe-13 okokoko i-BA yaqala ukwazisa intlawulelo-mafutha kwakhona ngoMeyi ka-2004. Emva koko, intlawulelo eyongezelelekileyo yayiyi- £ 5 kwindiza ebuyayo, kwaye ixabiso lombhobho weoyile lalimalunga ne- $ 38. Ngoku, intlawuliso iphezulu njenge- $ 218, ngelixa (njengoko ndibhalayo) ixabiso lombhobho weoyile yi- $ 133.
Oku kuthetha ukuba indleko yeoyile inyuke malunga namaxesha amathathu anesiqingatha, kodwa intlawulo ye-BA yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya kwiinqwelomoya ende inyuke ngaphezu kwama-40. Ngaba uyakubona ukungafihli kuloo nto?
'Ngokusisiseko, iinqwelo-moya zibeka nje amaxabiso azo ngezi ntlawulo zepetroli, utshilo oyingcali yeenqwelomoya uJames Fremantle, weBhunga lezoThutho loMoya (AUC).
'IBritish Airways ikhetha ukubiza unyuso "njengentlawulo eyongezelelweyo yamafutha" kuba ibona inika umbono wokuba ukunyusa imali asiyonxalenye yayo, kwaye izityholo zibekwa ngumntu wesithathu.' Yeyiphi ezingekhoyo.
Kuyandibetha ukuba ngokubethelela ngaphezulu kwamafutha abo, endaweni yokubeka ngokuthe ngqo imali yabo yokuhamba, iinqwelomoya ezinje ngeBA ziyazidubula ezinyaweni.
Njalo xa bephakamisa iintlawulo zabo, babonisa iRyanair ngenjongo evulekileyo. I-airline yaseIreland ayilahlekelwa lithuba lokuchaza iirhasi ezikhuphisanayo nazo, kunye nokwenza ukuba sazi ukuba, ngamazwi omphathi wayo, uMichael O'Leary: 'Ngokungafaniyo nabo bonke abo sikhuphisana nabo, iRyanair ihlala uzibophelele kumgaqo-nkqubo wokungabikho kwentlawulo yamafutha-nanini na. '
Kodwa le meko ingcwele kunawe ayinakuthanani. I-Ryanair ibetha abathengi ngeentlawulo ezinyukayo ezisebenzisayo ukugcina imida yenzuzo kunye nokulwa neendleko ezandayo zepetroli.
Kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, yazisa umrhumo wokutshekisha kwiingxowa, ze- $ 5 ngengxowa nganye kwindiza ebuyayo (ukuba wenze njalo kwangaphambili, kwi-Intanethi). Kwinyanga ephelileyo, iphakamise le ntlawulo ngokubuyisa i- £ 16 ngengxowa nganye.
Kwangolo hlobo lunye, ngo-Septemba ophelileyo laqala ukubiza umrhumo we- $ 2 ngenqwelomoya nganye ukuba ungene kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya (onganyanzelekanga ukuba usenze ukuba uneengxowa oza kuzigcina). Intlawulo sele iphindwe kabini ukuya kwi- £ 4.
URyanair uxela ukuba ngokuchaseneyo neentlawulo ezongeziweyo zepetroli, le mithwalo kunye neerhafu zokungena 'zibalulekile'. Kodwa kubagibeli abaninzi abangakwaziyo ukuhamba nemithwalo yesandla-kangange-60% kwezinye iinqwelomoya, inqwelomoya iyavuma-ayisebenzi.
Njengoko uJames Fremantle esitsho: 'Ukungena kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya eRyanair kunye nemirhumo yempahla ithelekiswa nezahlulo zepetroli zeBA. Ziyindlela eyahlukileyo yeRyanair yokunyusa imali yabo. ' Njengoko iintlawulo zeRyanair zingahlawulwanga kubo bonke abakhweli, azibandakanywanga kwimirhumo yayo esisiseko- kwaye ke ngenxa yoko inqwelo moya iyakwazi ukugcina amaxabiso asezantsi aphantsi.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, lo mkhuba ubukhulu becala ibikukugcinwa kweenqwelomoya ezingahambisiyo. Kodwa ukunyuka kwexabiso lepetroli kuthetha ukuba iinqwelomoya zeenqwelo moya ziyaqala ukujonga iindlela zokuhlawulisa abakhweli ngaphezulu, ngaphandle kokunyusa ixabiso.
I-American Airlines, umzekelo, iqalile ukuhlawulisa abakhweli kwezoqoqosho i-15 yeedola (£ 7.70) ngenqwelomoya nganye ukukhangela engxoweni xa ibhabha ngaphakathi kwe-US - ikopi yeekopi zisenokwenzeka kweli cala leAtlantic kungekudala.
Ingongoma yam iyonke kukuba umba opheleleyo weentlawulo zeenqwelomoya ngokwenene ngumdlalo we-smokeandmirrors kwaye, njengomhambi ufuna esona sivumelwano sihle, kufuneka ulumkele ukukhohliswa ziinqwelo moya ze-PR.
Ngaphambi kokubhukisha, jonga ngononophelo kwiindleko zizonke zeenqwelo moya ezinokubakho, kubandakanya nayiphi na intlawulo eyongezelelweyo- nokuba yeyamafutha, imithwalo, izidlo ezindizeni okanye enye into. Okokugqibela, ezinye iinkampani zeholide zisebenzisa uhlobo olwahlukileyo lokuhlawula ngaphezulu kwiholide zazo zephakheji kweli hlobo.
Kwiimeko ezininzi, ukuthetheleleka kwabo kukutshintsha kwemali yeepawundi-euro. Abaqhubi bezokhenketho bebenokubala ixabiso leeholide zasehlotyeni kunyaka ophelileyo, xa iponti yayimalunga neepesenti ezili-15 eyomeleleyo xa ithelekiswa ne-euro kunangoku. Abanye bathi ekuphela kwendlela abanokukuphepha ngayo ukwenza ilahleko kwezi holide kukuhlawula irhafu eyongeziweyo ekubuyiseleni kwabo.
Kubonakala kuyinto entle ecekisekayo ukuyenza- ubuncinci kuba iinkampani zeholide azizukuza ngokungxama kuthi ngokubuyiselwa imali xa inqanaba lotshintshiselwano lihamba kwicala elifanelekileyo.
Kodwa ndiyoyika ukuba umthetho uthi bavunyelwe ukuba babeke ezi ntlawulo, okoko nje belumkisile ngabo kwiimeko zabo zokubhukisha. Eyona nto ibuhlungu kukuba unelungelo lokurhoxisa kwaye ubuyisele imali yakho kuphela xa intlawulo eyongeziweyo ingaphezulu kwepesenti yexabiso leholide.
Ngexesha lokubhalwa, i-27 abaqhubi- kubandakanya amagama ahlukeneyo anje ngeCox & Kings, iBaleles kwihlabathi liphela kunye neKampu kunye neCaravanning Club -babiza iintlawulo ezithe vetshe ngeeholide abazithengisileyo.
Musa ukubhabha nedada eliqhwalelayo
Ekupheleni kwenyanga ephelileyo, iSilverjet, inqwelomoya yodidi lweshishini kuphela ebibhabha isuka eLuton isiya eNew York naseDubai, yawa, yachaphazela amawaka abakhweli. Ibe yenye yeenqwelomoya ezilishumi elinambini kwihlabathi jikelele ukuba ziyekile ukubhabha kwezi nyanga zintandathu zidlulileyo.
Olunye usilelo lubandakanya abathwali bezithuthi zodidi oluphambili lwe-transatlantic, i-MAXJet kunye ne-Eos Airlines; I-Oasis Hong Kong Airlines, ebonelela ngeenqwelomoya ngexabiso eliphantsi phakathi kweLondon neHong Kong; Iinqwelomoya zeLizwe lonke, ezaziphaphazela phakathi kweLondon noMzantsi Afrika; kunye ne-EuroManx, i-Isle of Man-based airline.
Ngokuqinisekileyo kunokwenzeka ukuba kubekho abantu abaninzi. Kwimozulu yangoku, unokufuna ukucinga kabini malunga nokubhukisha iinqwelomoya ngeenqwelomoya ezincinci. Ukuba inqwelo moya yakho iyasilela, ayisiyongxaki kuphela kodwa usengozini yokuphulukana nemali yakho kwaye kufuneka uhlawule ezinye iinqwelomoya.
Ukhuseleko lwezezimali lokubhabha iinqwelomoya lintsonkothile (jonga iwebhusayithi yeBhunga lezoThutho loMoya, www.auc.org.uk).
Kodwa eyona ndlela ilula yokukhusela imali yakho kukuhlawula ngekhadi letyala. Ke, okoko nje ukuba intengiselwano ingaphezulu kwe- $ 100, ukuba usonge i-airline uya kuba nakho ukufumana imbuyekezo kumnikezeli wekhadi.
Ngendlela ecaphukisayo, iinqwelomoya ezininzi zibiza imali eyongezelelweyo kwintlawulo yamakhadi etyala, kodwa ukuba ucwangcisa ukubhukisha kunye neFlybynite Airlines, kufanelekile ukuhlawula ngaphezulu.
