I-WASHINGTON, DC-Umbutho wezoThutho lwaMoya weHlabathi (IATA), emva kokuphonononga malunga nama-400 amagqabantshintshi afakwe ngabantu besithathu, ikhuthaze iSebe lezoThutho laseMelika (i-DOT) ukuba livume iSigqibo 787 seNkomfa yeeNkonzo zabaHambi, esungula ngokusesikweni inyathelo le-IATA lokuseka iNtsha. Ukwabiwa koLwazi (NDC). I-NDC ikhokelwa yi-IATA, iprojekthi exhaswa ngumzi-mveliso ukuphuhlisa umgangatho wokuhanjiswa kwedatha osekwe kwiXML kunxibelelwano phakathi kweenqwelomoya kunye neearhente zokuhamba. Umgangatho we-NDC uvulelekile kuye nawuphi na umntu wesithathu, umlamli, umboneleli we-IT okanye ilungu elingelilo i-IATA, ukuphumeza nokusetyenziswa.

IATA ifake isicelo sayo kwi-DOT yokuvunywa kwesigqibo 787 ngo-Matshi walo nyaka. I-DOT icele amagqabantshintshi kumaqela anomdla kunye ne-IATA, "ngempendulo" esemthethweni engeniswe namhlanje, yanikezela ngeempendulo zayo kolo ludwe.

"Umthamo omkhulu kunye nomgangatho ophezulu wezimvo ezifunyenwe kwiinkampani zeenqwelo moya, iiarhente zokuhamba, iinkqubo zonikezelo lwehlabathi, ababoneleli ngetekhnoloji, imibutho yezorhwebo kunye namanye amaqela anomdla, kubonisa ukuba iNDC ivelise umdla omkhulu kunye nemincili. Kukwacacile nakwezimvo zininzi ukuba kukho imfuneko yokucaca ngakumbi malunga nenqanaba lomgangatho we-NDC, eyenzela ukuba kube lula ukuba abahambi benze isigqibo esichanekileyo ngamaxabiso, izinto eziluncedo kunye neenkonzo, nokuba bakhetha phi Ukuthenga amatikiti abo, utshilo uTony Tyler, uMlawuli Jikelele we-IATA kunye ne-CEO.

I-NDC iya kubonelela ngokukhetha ngakumbi kunye nokwenza izinto elubala kubathengi kunye nokhuphiswano lwentlantsi kunye nokwenza izinto ezintsha kushishino. Iingcebiso ngokuchaseneyo azikho mfuneko, i-IATA ithe ngokugcwalisa kwayo-kubandakanya inkxalabo ephakanyisiweyo yokuba umgangatho we-NDC unganciphisa ukubonakala kwamaxabiso, ukhokelele kucalucalulo lwamaxabiso okanye kwandise izoyikiso kubucala babucala kwaye kuya kuba ngumgangatho onyanzelekileyo ukuba iinqwelomoya kunye nabanye unyanzelwe ukuba amkele umntwana wabanye abantu.

Ngelixa ndiqinisekile ukuba ezi zinto zixhalabileyo ziyasonjululwa ngaphakathi kwesiGqibo 787 uqobo, ukunqanda nakuphi na ukubhideka okuya phambili, i-IATA iphakamisa ukuba i-DOT yenze ukuba le migaqo ilandelayo icace ekwamkelweni kwayo:

Isigqibo 787 asifuni kubhengezwa nguye nawuphi na umkhweli wolwazi lobuqu lwalo naluphi na uhlobo

Isigqibo 787 asigunyazisi ukuba iinqwelomoya okanye abalamli bahambise iimveliso kunye neenkonzo ngomgangatho omtsha wokuhambisa idatha weXML.

Isigqibo 787 asithinteli ukusetyenziswa kwawo nawuphi na umgangatho wokuhambisa idatha, kubandakanya nomgangatho okhoyo we-EDIFACT.

Isigqibo 787 asimiseli imodeli ethile yeshishini yentengiso okanye yentengiso yothutho lomoya.

“Le mithetho-siseko ikwileta nomoya weSigqibo 787 kunye namalungu e-IATA aqinisekisa kwakhona kwiNtlanganiso ka-69 yoNyaka ye-IATA eyayibanjelwe eKapa, eMzantsi Afrika ekuqaleni kukaJuni 2013. Kufanelekile ukuba babandakanywe kule nkqubo kakuhle. I-NDC imalunga nokuzisa ukucaca ngakumbi kunye nokhuphiswano kwintengiso yohambo lomoya. Abathengi baya kuba nenketho yokukhetha iimveliso kunye neenkonzo ezongeza ixabiso kuhambo lwabo. Kwaye bazokonwabela ukukhuselwa kwimfihlo efanayo xa benotyelelo lwewebhusayithi yenqwelomoya okanye iarhente yokuhamba, utshilo uTyler.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:

It is also clear from the many thoughtful comments that there is a need for greater clarity about the purpose of the NDC standard, which is to make it easier for travelers to make an informed decision on price, amenities and services, regardless of where they choose to buy their tickets,” said Tony Tyler, IATA's Director General and CEO.
Suggestions to the contrary are unwarranted, IATA said in its filing—including frequently raised concerns that the NDC standard would diminish price transparency, result in price discrimination or exacerbate threats to individual privacy and that it would be a mandatory standard that airlines and others will be forced to adopt.
“These principles are in the letter and spirit of Resolution 787 and IATA members reaffirmed them at the 69th IATA Annual General Meeting held in Cape Town, South Africa at the beginning of June 2013.
