Ngokwengxelo yamva nje yoshishino, ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya ukuya kwikona esemazantsi-mpuma yeYurophu kudlule kakhulu kumanqanaba angaphambi kobhubhane (2019) kwiinyanga zasehlotyeni zikaJulayi no-Agasti. Ezona ndawo zimbini zinkulu, iTurkey neGrisi, zombini zigqithise amanqanaba angaphambi kobhubhani wokufika kwabatyeleli bamazwe ngamazwe nge-9% kunye ne-2% ngokulandelelanayo.

Ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya ukuya eAlbania (indawo encinci yokufikela enesabelo semarike esingaphantsi kwe-1% yabafika ngenqwelomoya yaseYurophu) nako kunyuke nge-28%.

Ngelixa kungekho ezinye iindawo ezinkulu zokusingwa ezifunyenwe kumanani abonwe ngo-2019, iSlovenia, i-7% kuphela phantsi, i-Iceland, i-8% ezantsi, kunye nePortugal, i-10% ezantsi, yasondela.

Uluhlu lwezona ndawo ziqhuba kakuhle zedolophu lwalukhokelwa yi-Istanbul, erekhode ukonyuka kwe-2% ekufikeni kwenqwelomoya. Kwalandelwa yi-Athene, i-7% phantsi, i-Reykjavik kunye ne-Porto, zombini i-8% phantsi, kunye ne-Malaga, i-13% phantsi.

Imiba ephambili eqhuba ukusebenza ngamandla kwe ikarikuni zibandakanya ukuhla okuqhubekayo kwexabiso le-lira yaseTurkey kunye nokuvuleka kwayo kwimarike yaseRashiya, ukusuka apho iinqwelomoya eziya ngqo kwi-Yurophu ziye zavalwa. Ngehlobo lika-2019 abantu baseRussia babalelwa kwi-4% yabo bonke abafikayo eYurophu, ngelixa ngo-2022, oku kwehle kakhulu. Grisi isebenze ngamandla njengendawo yokusingwa kuwo wonke lo bhubhani ngokumisela izithintelo zokuhamba ezinobungani kubatyeleli kwi-COVID-19.

Uhlalutyo lweemakethi zemvelaphi lubonisa ukuba ngaphakathi eYurophu, iGrisi ibonakalise ukuba yeyona inamandla, kunye nokuhamba kwiindawo zaseYurophu ngoJulayi nango-Agasti ohambelana namanqanaba ka-2019. Ilandelwa yiPoland, i-9% phantsi, iSpain, i-12% phantsi, i-UK, i-13% phantsi, i-Denmark, i-14% phantsi kunye ne-Portugal 15% phantsi. Lilonke, ukusuka kwi-Intra-European bekungama-22% phantsi.

Imarike eyomeleleyo extra-European yaba USA, nje 5% phantsi 2019. Yalandelwa Colombia kunye noSirayeli, zombini 9% phantsi, uMzantsi Afrika, 10% phantsi, Mexico 12% phantsi, kunye Canada kunye Kuwait, zombini 13% phantsi. Lilonke, iimarike zemvelaphi yaseYurophu beziphantsi nge-31%.

Iindawo zokusingwa zaseYurophu bezinokutsala abatyeleli abaninzi ngexesha leenyanga zasehlotyeni ukuba ishishini lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya belikwazile ukumelana nokunyuka kwemfuno yokuhamba ngexesha lasekupheleni kwentwasahlobo nasekuqaleni kwehlobo. Ukuba bekungekho siphazamiso, abahlalutyi bemizi-mveliso baqikelela ukuba ukuchaneka ekubhukishweni kwenqwelomoya kwi-Intra-Yuropu bekuya kuba phezulu ngeepesenti ezintlanu.

Ngelixa kukho intetho eninzi yokudodobala koqoqosho kunye nokunyuka kwamaxabiso okonakalisa amathuba okubuyela emva kobhubhani wokuhamba, umkhwa uhlala ulungile. NgoJulayi nango-Agasti, ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya kulo lonke elaseYurophu kwehle nge-26%, nangona kunjalo, imbonakalo yeenyanga ezintathu ezizayo ibonisa ukuba nge-31^st Ngo-Agasti, ukubhukisha ngenqwelomoya bekuyi-21% emva kwexesha elilinganayo ngo-2019, kubhukishelwe iTurkey neGrisi ngama-20% kunye ne-5% ngaphambili ngokulandelelanayo. Iindawo ezilandelayo ezibhukishwe kakhulu ngoku yiPortugal, i-3% ngasemva, i-Iceland, i-7% ngasemva kunye neSpain, i-15% ngasemva.

Ezona ntengiso zinamandla zikhokelwa yi-UK, apho imfuno yenqwelomoya ephumayo kwiinyanga ezintathu ezizayo isezantsi nje nge-2% xa kuthelekiswa nangaphambi kobhubhane. Ilandelwa yiSpain, i-3% ngasemva, i-USA, i-5% ngasemva, i-Ireland 6% ngasemva, kunye ne-Jamani i-11% ngasemva.

Ukuchacha kobhubhane kuqhubekile nangona kukho isiphithiphithi sokuhamba kunye nokuncitshiswa kwamandla okubangelwa kukunqongophala kwabasebenzi. Okwangoku, ukubhukishwa kwangaphambili kohambo lokuzonwabisa kubonisa ukuqhubeka nokuchacha kuhambo lomoya, emva kobhubhane; kwaye, ngokukhuthazayo, ukubhukishwa kweshishini kuyaqhuba. Nangona kunjalo, abahlalutyi bamashishini basalumkile malunga nenkangeleko ngenxa yokuba imfazwe eqhubekayo e-Ukraine kunye nefuthe lesiphumo kumaxabiso amandla iya kuchaphazela kakubi uqoqosho lwaseYurophu, olunokuthi luthintele ukuzithemba kwabathengi kunye nemfuno yenkampani. Oko kuthethiweyo, ngoku kukho ingxinano yokubhukisha iinqwelomoya ngexesha lexesha lokwindla kunye neKrisimesi, nto leyo enokukhokelela kuphazamiseko olongezelelekileyo lwenqwelomoya ukuba ubunzima bakutshanje obufunyenwe kushishino lweenqwelomoya buyaqhubeka.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:

In July and August, air travel across the whole of Europe was down by 26%, however, the outlook for the next three months shows that as of 31st August, flight bookings were 21% behind the equivalent moment in 2019, with bookings for Turkey and Greece 20% and 5% ahead respectively.
Major factors driving the strong performance of Turkey include an ongoing decline in the value of the Turkish lira and its openness to the Russian market, from where direct flights to most of Europe have been banned.
That said, there is currently a concentration of flight bookings during the autumn half term peaks and Christmas, which could lead to further flight disruption if the recent recruitment difficulties experienced by the aviation industry persist.
