Ubonelelo lwangoku lwe I-AVGAS, isibaso senqwelomoya esisetyenziswa kakhulu yinqwelomoya ekhaphukhaphu enye kunye neyenjini ezimbini ezisebenza ngeenjini zohlobo lwepiston, iye yaphelelwa kwakhona eUganda, kwaye kuphuma iingxelo ezifanayo zivela eKenya. Inani elikhulu leenqwelomoya ezikhanyayo, ngakumbi ezo zisetyenziswa kwinqwelomoya jikelele kunye nabanini babucala, kuxhomekeke kunikezelo lweAVGAS ukuze lubhabhe, kwaye namaxabiso anyukayo ngenxa yokunyuka kwamaxabiso eoli ekrwada kwihlabathi kunye nokuhla kwesheleni yaseUganda, Ukuhamba ngenqwelo-moya kuya kukhawuleza kube bubunewunewu abambalwa abanokukwazi ukukuhlawulela, kwaye abo basenako, banokuswela amafutha okuhamba.
Abasebenzi bomoya abohlukeneyo lo mbhaleli uthethe nabo eKajjansi nase-Entebbe baqinisekisile ukuba bayaphinda bezama ukufumana iAVGAS yaseTanzania ngamagubu, njengoko iimpahla zisekhona apho, ngelixa bethetha ngokuthula okungevayo kukaShell, eyona nto iphambili yelizwe. umboneleli wamafutha eenqwelomoya malunga nokuba kutheni, phi, kwaye nini amafutha aya kufumaneka kwakhona.
UMnu. Tim Cooper waseNjani Juu Afrika, ozinze kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseKajjansi, wathetha la mazwi alandelayo kulo mbhaleli: “I-Ndege Juu Afrika iyalugxeka ucwangciso olubi lukaShell nolawulo lwezitokhwe zamafutha ezithuthi kwicandelo leenqwelomoya elincinane kodwa elibalulekileyo laseUganda. Kwakhona, sizibona sikwimeko yokuba kuphele amafutha eenqwelo zeAVGAS, kwaye ngendlela engakholelekiyo – ingakumbi kwinkampani ekumgangatho wakwaShell – abanalo nofifi lokuba iza kuphinda ifumaneke nini amafutha.”
Kubonakala ngathi uShell wanelisekile kukuvumela inqwelomoya yaseUganda eyenziwe ngepiston ukuba imiswe. Okumangalisayo kukuba, uShell akazange azikhathaze nokulumkisa iinkampani zenqwelomoya ukuba i-Avgas yayiza kuphelelwa.
I-Ndege isebenza kunye ne-KAFTC ukukhusela i-fuel stocks evela e-BP eTanzania apho umdla akukho kunqongophala kwe-Avgas.
"Ukuba uShell akanamdla ekuboneleleni iinkampani zenqwelomoya ngamafutha ngoko kufuneka ithethe njalo," utshilo umlawuli weNdlela, uTim Cooper, esongeza, "Ngokuqinisekileyo kukho ithuba lenkampani ebaluleke ngakumbi kuneShell ukuba ibonelele kushishino lwenqwelomoya lwaseUganda kunye. umthombo othembekileyo wamafutha nezithambiso.”
Ikwaqondwa kwimithombo yaseKenya ukuba inqanawa izisa izinto ezintsha ze-AVGAS iseselwandle, kwaye akukho mntu unokutsho naliphi na inqanaba lokuqiniseka xa i-aviation fuel iya kufumaneka kwakhona eKenya, ishiye yodwa eUganda. Omnye umsasazi wenqwelomoya waseKenya owaziwayo ngulo mbhaleli ngolwimi lwakhe esidleleni waphendula wathi: “Khawume nje – iinkampani zamafutha ziza kutyhola ngobuqhetseba ngokulandelayo, nto leyo eza kuba yimbubhiso, ngoxa inyaniso ikukuba zifuna ukuyishiya iAVGAS kuba iyimarike encinane. xa kuthelekiswa ne-JetA1, ngoko baya besicinezela ngakumbi kwizinto ezithengiswayo, kodwa khumbula, sinamakhulu eenqwelomoya ezikhanyayo ezibhaliswe eKenya, eMpuma Afrika, ezixhomekeke kwi-AVGAS. Mhlawumbi lixesha lokuzisa urhulumente kwaye ubaxelele ukuba ezi nkampani zamafutha ziphezu kwaziphi na, phantse ukwenza iyelenqe mandicinge. Iinqwelo-moya ezipakishiweyo zisibiza imali, yaye ngaphandle kwe-AVGAS, asinakukwazi ukubhabha ezo nqwelo-moya. Kubi kakhulu kwicandelo lokubhabha kwe-safari, ngoku ukuba ishishini liphinde lathatha kwakhona, kodwa akukho mntu umamelayo de kube kusemva kwexesha kwakhona. Oosopolitiki bethu bakhohlakele.”
Umthombo ongaphakathi kwe-Uganda Civil Aviation Authority ukhankanye phantsi komqathango wokungaziwa ngokupheleleyo, ukuba ngelixa bexhalabile malunga neziphumo zokunqongophala kwamafutha e-AVGAS, bona ngokwabo bangenza okuncinci, njengoko ukungenisa kunye nokusasazwa kwamafutha eenqwelo moya kunikezelwe kwiinkampani zabucala. Nangona kunjalo, kwafunyaniswa ukuba i-CAA ihlawulisa iqhezu lepesenti kumafutha eenqwelomoya athengiswa e-Entebbe kwaye ababoneleli phantsi kwemiqathango kunye neemeko zekhontrakthi kunye ne-CAA kufuneka baqinisekise ukuba isitokhwe esaneleyo samafutha eenqwelomoya, i-AVGAS, kunye ne-JetA1 zihlala zihlala. ekhoyo ukuqinisekisa ukusebenza rhoqo ngenqwelomoya, imeko engazange ifikelelwe kweli xesha namaxesha amaninzi ngaphambili, nangona kunjalo. Umthombo we-CAA awuyi kutsalwa kwingxoxo malunga nokuba yeyiphi na imilinganiselo i-UCAA enokuthi isebenzise ukunyanzelisa ukuthotyelwa kwemimiselo kunye neemeko zekhontrakthi, okanye ukuba babeza kusabela konke okanye ngawaphi amanye amanyathelo ababecinga ngawo ukuqinisekisa ukuba iimpahla ze-AVGAS ziyafumaneka. ilizwe ngenani elikhulu leenqwelomoya kubhaliso lwaseUganda zisasebenzisa olu hlobo lwamafutha.
Abaqhubi beSafari baye bavakalisa inkxalabo yabo ngokunyuka kwexabiso lexabiso leenjini zokuqhuba amafutha kunye nokunqongophala kwepetroli kwinqwelomoya encinci esetyenziswa rhoqo njengeCessna 206, iCessna 210, okanye iinqwelomoya zeenjini ezimbini ezincinci ezisetyenziselwa ukubhabhela abakhenkethi ukuya. iipaki zesizwe ukubagcina kwiihambo zendlela.
Akukho zimvo zivelayo zivela kwi-Ofisi yoMphathiswa wezoKhenketho, okanye kurhulumente ngokubanzi, amasebe amaninzi abonakala esonwabile engakwazi ukunqongophala kunye nefuthe lako kukhenketho kunye neenqwelomoya zoshishino kwilizwe lonke okanye ummandla obanzi. Kwakhona omnye umthombo wezomoya onxibelelana rhoqo nalo mbhaleli phantsi kwemiqathango yokungachazwa igama lakhe ngenxa yokoyika impindezelo: “Ela nkonzo alinalwazi, abaqondi nokuba kuqhubeka ntoni phantsi kwempumlo yabo. Kwaye iqumrhu lecandelo lezokhenketho nalo alenzi nto ukuza kuthi ga ngoku; bazakuqala ukugxeka thina iinkampani zenqwelomoya xa sele kusemva kwexesha endaweni yokuba bathethe noShell egameni lethu. Abanabo ubuchwephesha kulo mbandela, ngokungafaniyo nawe owaziyo ukuba ungaya phi, yeyiphi imibuzo omawuyibuze, kwaye ngawaphi amaqhosha omawucofe.”
