The Umbutho wamazwe ngamazwe oThutho loMoya (IATA) INtlanganiso kaWonke-wonke yoNyaka engama-76 (i-AGM) igqibe ngamxhelo-mnye kwisigqibo sokumema ngokungxamisekileyo oorhulumente ukuba baphinde bavule imida yokuhamba. IATA icebisa uvavanyo olucwangcisiweyo lwabahambi bamanye amazwe oluya kuvumela ukuphakanyiswa kwemida yezithintelo kwaye lubonelele ngenye indlela kwimithetho yangoku yokubekwa bucala.
Ukuvalelwa kwabantu abathile ngokubulala ngokubulala kufuneka ngenqwelomoya kwaye oorhulumente kufuneka bakuthathele ingqalelo oko. Uhambo lomoya lwamanye amazwe luyaqhubeka ukwehla ngama-90% kumanqanaba e-2019. Uqikelelo lwangoku kukuba ubuninzi bemisebenzi engama-46 yezigidi exhaswa ngohambo lomoya ingalahleka kwaye imisebenzi yoqoqosho egcinwe kukuhamba ngenqwelomoya iya kuncitshiswa nge-US $ 1.8 trillion.
“Abantu bafuna kwaye bafuna ukushukumiseka kwihlabathi liphela. I-International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) yokuthatha amanyathelo okwenza ukuba ukhuseleke ngenqwelomoya. Kodwa ukuvalwa kwemida, ukuthintelwa kokuhamba kunye namanyathelo okubekelwa bodwa enza ukuba uninzi lokuhamba lungabi lula. Kufuneka silawule indlela esiphila ngayo nentsholongwane. Kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba kutshabalalise inqwelomoya, ukubeka emngciphekweni izigidi zemisebenzi, ukukhubazeka kwezoqoqosho kunye nokuqhekeza intlalo yoluntu. Singavula imida ngokukhuselekileyo namhlanje ngovavanyo olucwangcisiweyo lwe-COVID-19, utshilo u-Alexandre de Juniac, uMlawuli-Jikelele we-IATA kunye ne-CEO.
Kwisigqibo sayo i-AGM nayo:
- Ukuqinisekisile ukuzibophelela okuqhubekayo kweshishini ekuphumezeni iiprotokholi ekuvunyelwene ngazo kwilizwe jikelele,
- Ukukhuthaza oorhulumente ukuba basebenzise isikhokelo esenziwe yi-ICAO,
- Bacele oorhulumente ukuba baqinisekise ukuba abasebenzi beenqwelomoya kunye nabakhenkethi bamanye amazwe babekwa phambili kugonyo lwe-COVID-19 xa unyango olukhuselekileyo nolusebenzayo lukhona kwaye abasebenzi bezempilo kunye namaqela asemngciphekweni ekhuselwe.
I-AGM ikwaqinise indima ebalulekileyo yezothutho lomoya ekuququzeleleni ukusabela kwihlabathi kubhubhane, kubandakanya ukuhanjiswa kwangexesha kwamayeza, izixhobo zokuvavanya, izixhobo zokhuselo kwaye ekugqibeleni izitofu kwihlabathi liphela.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- I-AGM ikwaqinise indima ebalulekileyo yezothutho lomoya ekuququzeleleni ukusabela kwihlabathi kubhubhane, kubandakanya ukuhanjiswa kwangexesha kwamayeza, izixhobo zokuvavanya, izixhobo zokhuselo kwaye ekugqibeleni izitofu kwihlabathi liphela.
- Reaffirmed the industry's continuing commitment to implementing globally agreed biosafety protocols, Encouraged governments to implement guidance developed by ICAO, Asked governments to ensure that aviation staff and international travelers are prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination once safe and effective treatments become available and health care workers and vulnerable groups have been protected.
- IATA is proposing systematic testing of international travelers which would permit the lifting of border restrictions and provide an alternative to current quarantine rules.
