Ngaphantsi nje kwenyanga emva kokuba abaqhubi beenqwelo moya e-US Airways bekhuphe iphepha elipheleleyo e-USA Today betyhola umphathi wabo ngokukhwela kwimithwalo yepetroli ukugcina imali, abaqhubi beenqwelo moya kwezinye iinqwelomoya bayaqhubeka ukukhala ialam kwaye bavakalisa inkxalabo ngokhuseleko lwenqwelomoya abasebenzi kunye nabakhweli.
Abaqhubi beenqwelomoya bathi abaphathi beenqwelomoya, benqwenela ukunciphisa iindleko, babanyanzela ukuba babhabhe ngokungafanelekanga ngepetroli. Imeko yaba mbi ngokwaneleyo kwiminyaka emithathu eyadlulayo, nangaphambi kokunyuka kwamaxabiso epetroli, ukuba iNASA ithumele isilumkiso sokhuseleko kumagosa asebenza ngenqwelomoya. Ukusukela ngoko, abaqhubi beenqwelomoya, abathumeli beenqwelomoya kunye nabanye baye baqhubeka nokukhala ngezilumkiso zabo, ukanti i-Federal Aviation Administration ithi akukho sizathu sokuyalela iinqwelomoya ukuba ziyeke iinzame zazo zokugcina umthwalo wamafutha ubuncinci.
"Asinakudlala kwimigaqo-nkqubo yeshishini okanye kwimigaqo-nkqubo yabasebenzi beenqwelo moya," utshilo u-Les Dorr, osisithethi se-FAA. Wongeze ngelithi akukho miqathango yezokhuseleko ephulwayo.
Isilumkiso sokhuseleko ngoSeptemba 2005 sakhutshwa yiNkqubo yokuXela uKhuseleko lwezoKhuselo eyimfihlo yeNASA, evumela abasebenzi bomoya ukuba baxele iingxaki ngokhuseleko ngaphandle koloyiko lwamagama abo.
Ngamaxabiso epetroli ngoku eyona ndleko yabo iphambili, iinqwelo moya ziya kunyanzelisa ngenkani imigaqo-nkqubo emitsha eyilelwe ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa.
NgoFebruwari, ukapteni we-Boeing 747 uxele ukuhla kwezithuthi ezisendleleni eya kwisikhululo senqwelomoya saseKennedy. Uthe uqhubeke waya kuKennedy emva kokubonisana nomphathi weenqwelo moya, owamxelela ukuba kukho ipetroli eyaneleyo ngaphakathi kwejet.
Ukufika kwenqwelomoya, ukapteni wathi yayinamafutha amancinci kangangokuba kwakubakho ukulibaziseka kokufika, "Ngekufuneka ndibhengeze ukungxamiseka kwamafutha" -igama elixelela abalawuli bezithuthi zomoya ukuba inqwelomoya ifuna ukuqalwa ngokukhawuleza emhlabeni.
Ingozi yokugqibela enkulu yomoya e-US eyabangelwa kukutsha kwepetroli yayingo-Jan. 25, 1990, xa i-Avianca Boeing 707 yaphela ilinde ukufika eKennedy yaza yatshayisa eCove Neck. Ngamashumi asixhenxe anesithathu kwabali-158 ababekhwele babulawa.
