Kufuphi nokungqubana kwenqwelomoya eKenya kuphakamisa i-alamu kukhuseleko kwizulu laseAfrika

I-Ethiopian Airlines kunye ne-Neo bebekwikhosi yongquzulwano olunokubulala olunokubakho phezu kwesibhakabhaka saseKenya. Kwiiveki ezimbini emva kokuba ungquzulwano lomoya luthintelwe kancinci kwisikhululo somoya saseKenya, iinkxalabo zokhuseleko lwenqwelomoya kwisibhakabhaka saseAfrika zihlala ziyingxoxo ephambili phakathi kwamasebe eenqwelomoya kunye noorhulumente belizwekazi.

Ijethi yabakhweli yase-Ethiopia kunye nenqwelomoya yezolonwabo yase-Italiya i-Neos SpA kuxelwe ukuba inqande ukungqubana komoya phakathi emva kokuba umqhubi we-Ethiopian Airlines enyuke inyawo ezili-1000 ukutsiba ukungqubana okunokwenzeka phakathi kwezi nqwelo-moya zimbini, zonke zibhabha ngendlela efanayo.

Iingxelo zemithombo yeendaba zithe oku kwagqiba ukuba ungquzulwano olusondeleyo olubandakanya ijethi yase-Ethiopia kunye nenqwelomoya ye-Italian Neos SpA Leisure luthintelwe xa umqhubi we-Ethiopian Airlines enyuka ngesiquphe ukunqanda ukujika kwenqwelomoya yase-Italiya kwisibhakabhaka esisemazantsi eKenya.

Ngaphantsi komzuzu ngaphambi kokungqubana komoya okunokwenzeka, i-Ethiopia i-Boeing 737-800 yenyuka yaya kuma-38,000 ezinyaweni kwaye ngaloo ndlela yaphepha ukungqubana okunokwenzeka. Umzuzu omnye emva koko inqwelo-moya yehla kwakhona kwindawo yayo yokuphakama. Zombini iinqwelomoya ziqhubekile nokuya kwiindawo eziya kuzo ngaphandle kwesiganeko esinye, iingxelo zeendaba zaseKenya zathi.

Imithombo yolawulo lwezothutho eKenya ityhola abalawuli bezithuthi zomoya base-Ethiopia ababekuqhankqalazo ukuba babengunobangela wokungqubana kweenqwelo moya phakathi komoya, ingozi emanyumnyezi yenqwelomoya enokubetha isibhakabhaka saseAfrika.

Ngo-Agasti 29, inombolo yendiza ye-Ethiopian Airlines ET 858, i-Boeing 737-800 enenombolo yobhaliso ET- ASJ yashiya i-Johannesburg eMzantsi Afrika ukuya e-Addis Ababa kwiiyure ze-2100 ngelixa i-airline yokuzonwabisa yase-Italy i-Neos Boeing 767-306R inombolo yendiza ye-NOS252 yashiya isixeko sase-Italiya. yaseVerona eya eZanzibar eTanzania ngeeyure ze-1800.

Emva nje kobusuku ezinzulwini zobusuku, ezi nqwelomoya zimbini zazibhabha zingena enye kwenye kwindawo enye kumphakamo oziimitha ezingama-37,000, kunye nenqwelomoya yase-Italiya ingenile kwi-airpace yase-Ethiopia, ngelixa i-Ethiopian Airlines evela kwi-airspace yaseTanzania xa yasinda cebetshu kungquzulwano olunokwenzeka. ngelixa ebhabha phezu kwedolophu yaseNaivasha kumazantsi eKenya, iingxelo zeendaba zatsho.

Kodwa iKenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) iwakhabile amabango ngenxa yongquzulwano oluphakathi komoya phakathi kwezi nqwelomoya zimbini zabakhweli, isithi abalawuli bezithuthi zomoya kwikomkhulu laseKenya iNairobi benze umsebenzi wabo njengoko bekulindelekile ukunqanda ukungqubana okunokwenzeka.

Umlawuli-jikelele we-KCCA uGilbert Kibe uxelele amajelo eendaba ukuba ukungqubana kwesibhakabhaka saseKenya kuyalahlekisa.

Xa kuqhagamshelwana nezimvo, iingcali zohambo lwasemoyeni lwaseTanzania zivakalise umothuko wazo ngale ngxelo, zisithi ungquzulwano oluthintelweyo lomoya lwalunokuthintelwa emva kokuba inqwelomoya ye-Ethiopian Airlines ifumene isilumkiso kwiNkqubo yokuNqanda ukuntlitheka kweenqwelomoya (TCAS) efakwe kwinqwelomoya.

Batsho ukuba inqwelomoya yase-Ethiopia yangena esibhakabhakeni saseTanzania isuka eMzantsi Afrika isendleleni eya eAddis Ababa, ikhokelwa kakuhle ngabalawuli beenqwelomoya eDar es Salaam nakwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya zaseKilimanjaro ngaphambi kokuwela isiya kumazantsi eKenya.

Ukuba bekunokwenzeka, olo hlobo longquzulwano lwasemoyeni ibinokuba yingozi emanyumnyezi eyenzeka e-Afrika ukuzisa umbono ombi ngokhuseleko lwezophapho lwelizwekazi.

Inqwelomoya yokuphumla yase-Italiya ebibhabha isuka eVerona e-Italiya isiya kwisiqithi sabakhenkethi sase-Zanzibar esiyinxalenye yeTanzania ibikwisibhakabhaka saseKenya xa isiganeko sontlitheko saye sabikwa ngamajelo eendaba aseKenya kule veki iphelileyo.

I-Afrika yaziwa ngokungaxhotyiswanga kakuhle ngolawulo lomoya kunye neenkqubo zokubhabha ngaphandle kwamazwe ambalwa athe akwazi ukuxhasa ngemali amasebe awo ophapho ngeerada zale mihla. IKenya ne-Ethiopia zisebenzisa iirada zala maxesha ezilawula iinqwelomoya ezinkulu eziqhutywa ziinkampani zabo zeenqwelomoya ezimi phambili e-Afrika.

Imithombo yezomoya eTanzania ithe ingxelo ekufutshane nengozi yenqwelomoya iseyimfihlakalo ngelixa kulindelwe impendulo yabasemagunyeni bezophapho base-Ethiopia.
