Ngaphandle kwe-US yakutshanje Ulawulo lwezoLawulo lwezoPhapho (i-FAA) ukuvunywa kwabakhathazekileyo iBoeing Ukubuyela kwe-737 MAX kwinkonzo yorhwebo, i-China ayitshintshanga indawo yayo kukhuseleko lwenqwelomoya kwaye ayivumanga inqwelomoya ukuba iye esibhakabhakeni.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, i-China yaba lilizwe lokuqala ukuba phantsi kwe-Boeing 737 MAX jets emva kwengozi yesibini yesibini kwiinyanga nje ezintlanu.
Iinqwelo-moya ze-Boeing 737 MAX zisavaliwe kwintengiso enkulu yomenzi weenqwelomoya zase-US, njengoko i-Civil Aviation Administration yase-China (i-CAAC) ibhengeze ukuba ayikabeki mhla wokuphindiswa kweenqwelomoya ezingama-737 MAX.
Igunya lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya lagxininisa ukuba indawo ayitshintshanga ukusukela kwinyanga ephelileyo, xa umphathi wayo, uFeng Zhenglin, wathi kufuneka iqinisekise ukuba inqwelomoya inengxaki kwaye ikhuselekile kwaye ithembekile ngaphambi kokwenza isigqibo sokuphakamisa isiseko.
Uye waphawula ukuba i-737 MAX kufuneka ihlangane neemeko ezintathu. Ngaphandle kokucaca kwiziphumo zophando ngonobangela wengozi eyabulala abantu abangama-346, ukuphuculwa koyilo kufuneka kuphumelele ukuhlolwa kovavanyo lomoya kwaye abaqhubi beenqwelo moya kufuneka bafumane uqeqesho olwaneleyo kubo.
Isiteyitimenti somlawuli waseTshayina siza kungekudala emva kokuba i-US Federal Aviation Administration (i-FAA) ithathe isigqibo sokususa isithuba seminyaka emibini. Ngelixa isigqibo singazivumeli iijets ukuba zibuyele kwangoko esibhakabhakeni, kulindeleke ukuba iinqwelomoya zokuqala zorhwebo ziqhubeke kwakhona phambi kokuphela konyaka.
"Ukuvunywa kwe-FAA e-US akuthethi ukuba amanye amazwe kufuneka alandele," injineli ephezulu uShu Ping, umlawuli weZiko loKhuseleko loPhapho kwiAkhademi yezeNzululwazi ngezoPhapho kunye neTekhnoloji, utshilo.
Kutshanje iBoeing ityhile umbono wayo wokuthengisa kwintengiso yaseTshayina. Ukubheja ukuba ukugcwala kwabahambi e-China kuyakukhula ngokukhawuleza kunakwamanye amazwe, isigebenga esikhulu sase-US siceba ukuthengisa iinqwelo-moya ezintsha ezingama-8,600 kwiinqwelo-moya zaseTshayina ezixabisa iidola eziyi-1.4 yezigidi zeerandi kule minyaka ingamashumi amabini izayo.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Igunya lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya lagxininisa ukuba indawo ayitshintshanga ukusukela kwinyanga ephelileyo, xa umphathi wayo, uFeng Zhenglin, wathi kufuneka iqinisekise ukuba inqwelomoya inengxaki kwaye ikhuselekile kwaye ithembekile ngaphambi kokwenza isigqibo sokuphakamisa isiseko.
- Boeing 737 MAX aircraft are still banned from the US plane maker's biggest market, as the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) announced that it has not set a date for the resumption of 737 MAX flights.
- While the decision does not allow the jets to return immediately to the skies, it is expected that the first commercial flights will resume before the end of the year.
