I-Airline yenza ukudityaniswa kwamehlo

I-PHOENIX - Njengoko iinqwelo-moya zase-US zixinzelelana ngeemali eziphantsi, abaphathi babeka iliso kwimizamo yokudibanisa njengendlela eqinisekileyo yokunciphisa inzuzo kwishishini elihlaselwe yindleko ephezulu yepetroli.

Abathwali abaninzi bazamile ukonyusa inzuzo ngokunika abahambi izihlalo ezimbalwa. Kodwa uSihlalo we-US Airways Group Inc. kunye noMlawuli oyiNtloko uDoug Parker uthe ngoLwesine ukuba iinqwelomoya zinomthamo ongaka oshiyekileyo wokucutha ngokwazo, mhlawumbi ngaphantsi kwe-5 ekhulwini.

“Ukudityaniswa kukuvumela ukuba wenze into engaphezulu kwaleyo,” utshilo uParker. Wongeze ukuba xa i-America West Airlines idityaniswa neyangaphambili, i-US Airways esekwe eVirginia, yakwazi ukunciphisa umthamo ngeepesenti ezili-15 njengoko idibanisa uthungelwano.

I-Alaska Air Group Inc. izamile ukunyusa amaxabiso etikiti, kodwa iGosa eliyiNtloko lezeMali uBrad Tilden uthe ngoLwesine inkampani ibe neziphumo ezixubileyo. Umthuthi osekwe eSeattle unyuse amaxabiso ukuya kuthi ga kwi-20 yeedola kwiimarike ezithile, kodwa ayizange ikwazi ukutyhala nakuphi na ukonyuka kwabanye.

Ngeli xesha, amaxabiso eoyile anyuke adlula kwi-100 yeedola ngomphanda ngaphambi kokuba ehle aye malunga ne-88 yeedola ngomphanda.

"Into ebinokuba yikota enengeniso ijike yaba mbi ngenxa yokunyuka kweendleko zamafutha," utshilo umhlalutyi weCalyon Securities uRay Neidl.

Ngethuba leenyanga ezintathu eziphelile ngo-Dec. 31, i-US Airways yathumela ilahleko yayo yokuqala kwiikota ezintlanu, kunye nenkampani engumzali ye-Alaska Airlines kunye ne-Horizon Air yathi ingeniso yayo yaya kwilahleko xa ilungiselelwa amafutha kunye nezinto ezikhethekileyo.

Izabelo ze-US Airways zehla nge-48 cents, okanye i-3.7 pesenti, ukuya kwi-12.66 yeedola ngoLwesine. Izabelo ze-Alaska Air Group zehla i-$ 1.98, okanye i-8 ekhulwini, ukuya kwi-$ 22.71.

Iindaba bezifana ekuqaleni kwale veki nabanye abathwali abakhulu baseMelika. I-Delta Air Lines Inc. kunye neenkampani zabazali ze-United Airlines kunye ne-American Airlines nazo zithumele ilahleko kule kota. I-Southwest Airlines Co., nangona kunjalo, iphinde kabini inzuzo yayo kwikota yesine ngenxa yokhuselo oluphezulu ngokuchasene neendleko eziphezulu zepetroli.

"Kuyakhathaza ukuxela ilahleko elungelelanisiweyo yekota yesine kwinto ebingunyaka oqinileyo xa kuthelekiswa nabanye abathwali," utshilo uBill Ayer oyiNtloko ye-Alaska Air Group kwingxelo. “Ilahleko ibiqhutywa ikakhulu kukunyuka kwamaxabiso epetroli kudityaniswe neendleko zokuhamba ezingahambanga nesantya.”

UParker, kudala encoma izibonelelo zemali zokudityaniswa kwenqwelomoya, khange athethe malunga nokuba i-US Airways ibithetha nenye inkampani yenqwelomoya malunga nokudibanisa.

U-Ayer uthe iAlaska Air Group iceba ukuhlala izimele, kodwa akazange akhuphele ngaphandle ithuba lokudibanisa ukuba kuyavakala kwinkampani.

“Ayikukuba sivale amehlo,” utshilo uAyer. "Siyaqonda ukuba siyinxalenye yolu shishino, kwaye kufuneka siyazi into eyenzekayo, kwaye ukuba oko kusivelisela amathuba, siya kujonga loo nto."

UNeidl uthe ulindele ukuba ishishini lizinze kulo nyaka. Ekuphela kwendlela yokuguqula ingeniso ngamaxabiso epetroli aphakame kangaka kukunyusa amaxabiso, utshilo uNeidl.

“Kodwa bonke bayoyika ukuyenza loo nto kuqoqosho olubuthathaka,” utshilo.

Kwikota yesine, i-US Airways ibike ilahleko ye-79 yezigidi zeedola, okanye iisenti ezingama-87 ngesabelo ngasinye, ngokungafaniyo nenzuzo ye-12 yezigidi zeedola, okanye i-13 yeesenti, kunyaka odlulileyo. Ingeniso ihle yaya kutsho kwi-2.78 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ukusuka kwi-2.79 yeebhiliyoni zeedola.

Ingeniso inyuke ngeepesenti ezisi-8 ukuya kwizigidi ezingama-853.4 zeedola, ngenxa yokunyuka kwengeniso yabakhweli.

Nangona kunjalo, ilungelelaniselwe ukubiyelwa kwamafutha kunye neentlawulo ezikhethekileyo kunye nezibonelelo, ilahleko yeAlaska Air iye yanda yaya kutsho kwi-17.9 yezigidi zeedola, okanye iisenti ezingama-46 ngesabelo ngasinye, ukusuka kwi-3.4 yezigidi zeedola, okanye iisenti ezisi-8.
