Isebenza kude kube ngoku ngokudlula eCotonou, eBenin, le yindlela yesithathu yeKenya Airways kulo nyaka eza kunqunyanyiswa, emva kweRome neMuscat, ngenxa yemilinganiselo yobungqongqo.
Nangona kunjalo, iingcali zezophapho zithe gqolo zithelekelela ixesha lokwenziwa kwesi sibhengezo kunye nokungxama ekubonakala ngathi isigqibo sithathiwe ngaso, nto leyo ehambelana nesigwebo seNkundla yezoShishino yaseKenya eyayalela ukuba babuyiselwe emsebenzini abaphantse babe ngama-500 abasebenzi abadendiweyo ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka. Omnye umntu othe rhoqo wanikela rhoqo eNairobi kunxibelelwano lwangorhatya: “I-KQ ineengxaki ezinkulu. Isiphumo sesiqingatha sonyaka sapeyintwa ngombala obomvu onzulu ngenxa yezizathu ezazama ukunciphisa iindleko zabo. Ukudendwa, ingakumbi xa kuthathelwa ingqalelo ukuxhawulana ngezandla kwegolide yinkampani yenqwelomoya ekunike abo bakulungeleyo ukuthatha umhlala-phantsi phambi kwexesha njalo njalo, kuyindleko kodwa konga imali ixesha elide emva koko. Mhlawumbi iKenya Airways yayinokuyigcina indlela eya eN'djamena. Liyinyaniso elokuba, inokuba ibingenamda ngokwembuyekezo yezemali, kodwa ngoku bajongene nokuba nabasebenzi abaphantse babe ngama-500 ababuyileyo ezincwadini zabo.
“Kukho into ekufuneka inikeziwe, kwaye mna ngokobuqu ndicinga ukuba kukho unxibelelwano phakathi kokusikwa kwendlela kunye noxinzelelo olukhulu abaphantsi kwalo ngoku bejonga isiphelo sabo. Bafumene kuphela uMatshi xa unyaka-mali wabo uphela, kwaye isheleni nganye ngoku ibala ukuba inesiphumo semali esamkelekileyo ngelo xesha. Lo ngunyaka, khumbula, xa babesungula umba wamalungelo abo esabelo, kwaye xa ujonga ixabiso lesabelo sangoku, oku izakuba yingxaki.”
Abanye bavakalise uluvo olufanayo, kodwa bonke kwavunyelwana ukuba isigwebo seNkundla yezoShishino, ekubonakala ukuba sibhenelwe yinkampani yeenqwelomoya, sithumele umyalezo ocacileyo koosomashishini wokuba phambi konyulo lukaMatshi ka-2013, imeko yezoshishino ifumene ithuba lokuphumelela. kakhulu, njengoko nezigwebo zenkundla zibonakala ngathi zidlala ipolitiki kwezi ntsuku eKenya. Inxalenye yosomashishini kunye nabarhwebi abaphambili basigxeka kabukhali esi sigwebo, betyhola ijaji ngokuthatha icala kunye nokusilela ukuqonda imeko yeshishini eyandayo ngelixa kwangaxeshanye bekhuthaza imibutho elwela imfazwe ukuba idlalele ezandleni zookhokho babo bezopolitiko ukuba bajike isikali. kunyulo jikelele oluzayo.
“Iingxaki zeKenya Airways zaqala xa ziye zachasa ngokufanelekileyo oko kubizwa ngokuba ngumyalelo weNkulumbuso, eneneni, esekelwe kwingqondo kayise ongasekhoyo owayelikomanisi. Kuloo nto, uqoqosho lomyalelo luseyinto eqhelekileyo, kodwa ngaphandle kwesiseko esisemthethweni, inqwelomoya yenza nantoni na ekufuneka yenziwe. Kungekudala emva koko, kwavakala amarhe okuba urhulumente makafumane izihlalo ezininzi kwibhodi yenkampani yeenqwelomoya ukuze 'ayilawule' ngcono kwaye ayenze ilandele imiyalelo yezopolitiko. Ndiyazi ukuba andindedwa ndidibanisa u-2 no-2 kwaye ndibona esi sigwebo njengenxalenye yeqhinga lokunika i-KQ imbuyekezo. Kwaye imvelaphi yazo zonke ezo nkathazo ikuloo ndoda inye nezimjikelezileyo,” watsho njalo omnye umthombo othe rhoqo, efuna isiqinisekiso sokuba akukho gama liya kubizwa phantsi kwazo naziphi na iimeko, lisithi “uyabazi aba bafana banjani na, banokuza ngenxa yakho. nangaliphi na ixesha.”
Umthombo othe rhoqo okufutshane nenkampani yeenqwelomoya okwangoku uphinde wathi ukukhutshwa kweProjekthi Mawingo, isicwangciso sobuchule seminyaka eli-10 seKenya Airways, siyakuhlala sisendleleni njengoko siza kuhlala sisendleleni nokuba ibhalansi ejonge njani ekupheleni kwemali. ngonyaka ngoMatshi ka-2013 kwaye ukuhanjiswa kweenqwelomoya akuyi kulibaziseka. “IN’djamena yayilityala elingenamda yaye kwakufuneka linyanyekelwe. Njengoko usitsho, iphulo lonyulo liza kubangela iingxaki ezongezelelweyo, kodwa nje ukuba kuphelile, zonke izinto ezisisiseko zilungile malunga nophuhliso loqoqosho eKenya. Izicwangciso zobuchule aziphoswa ngaphandle nje ngenxa yokushukuma okumbalwa apha naphaya. Zikwaxhomekeke kuphononongo lwamaxesha athile ukuze zibe negalelo kutshintsho kubume beshishini, kwaye oko kuqhelekile kuwo onke amacandelo oqoqosho. I-KQ izakulunga,” utshilo umthombo.
Nokuba kwenzeka ntoni na, iKenya Airways iseyingxilimbela yezophapho eMpuma Afrika kunye nezimvo zamva nje ezenziwe kwiNtlanganiso kaWonke-wonke ye-AFRAA yi-CEO, uGqirha Titus Naikuni, zokuba abathathu abaphambili kwilizwekazi le-Kenya Airways, i-Ethiopian Airlines, kunye ne-South African Airways kufuneka bahlale. phantsi kwaye uthethe ubambiswano, ngokuqinisekileyo luphawu lokuba okubhaliweyo kuseludongeni lokuba inqwelomoya yase-Afrika isebenzisane okanye ibekwe ecaleni zizigebenga zeenqwelomoya zehlabathi apho iinqwelomoya ze-Afrika ziya kuphaphatheka kwaye kube lula ekujoliswe kuzo.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- A regular source close to the airline in the meantime reiterated that the rollout of Project Mawingo, Kenya Airways' 10-year strategic plan, would remain on course as would remain on course regardless of the way the balance sheet looked at the end of the financial year in March 2013 and that aircraft deliveries would not be delayed.
- Others echoed similar sentiments, but all were agreed that the ruling of the Industrial Court, which is understood to be appealed by the airline, has sent a stark message to the business community that ahead of the March 2013 elections, the business environment just got a lot tougher, as even court rulings seem to play politics these days in Kenya.
- A cross-section of industrialists and leading business figures criticized the ruling sharply, accusing the judge of bias and failing to understand an increasingly harsher business environment while at the same time encouraging militant unions to play into the hands of their political godfathers to tilt the scale in the upcoming general elections.
