Ukuvalwa kokuhamba okutsha kwe-Omicron kusongela ukubuyiswa kokuhamba ngenqwelomoya

The Umbutho wamazwe ngamazwe oThutho loMoya (IATA) ibhengeze ukuba ukuchacha kuhambo lomoya kuqhubekile ngo-Okthobha wama-2021 ngophuculo olubanzi kwiimarike zasekhaya nezamazwe ngamazwe.

Ikwalumkise ukuba ukunyanzeliswa kwezithintelo zokuhamba ngoorhulumente, ngokuchasene nengcebiso ye I-World Health Organization (WHO), inokusongela ukuchacha kwecandelo. 

Kuba uthelekiso phakathi kuka-2021 kunye no-2020 iziphumo zenyanga zigqwethiwe ngenxa yempembelelo engaqhelekanga ye-COVID-19, ngaphandle kokuba kuphawulwe ngenye indlela yonke ithelekiso ingo-Okthobha ka-2019, elandele ipatheni yemfuno eqhelekileyo.

• Iyonke imfuno yohambo ngomoya ngo-Okthobha 2021 (elinganiswe ngengeniso yeekhilomitha zabahambi okanye ii-RPKs) ibe yehle nge-49.4% xa kuthelekiswa no-Oktobha 2019. Oku kuye kwaphuculwa ngaphezu kokuwa kwe-53.3% okurekhodwe ngoSeptemba 2021, xa kuthelekiswa neminyaka emibini ngaphambili.

• Iimarike zasekhaya zehle nge-21.6% xa kuthelekiswa no-Okthobha ka-2019, ziphucula ukuhla kwe-24.2% okurekhodwe ngoSeptemba xa kuthelekiswa noSeptemba 2019.

• Imfuno yabakhweli bamazwe ngamazwe ngo-Okthobha ibingama-65.5% ngaphantsi kweyeDwarha ka-2019, xa kuthelekiswa nokuhla nge-69.0% ngoSeptemba xa kuthelekiswa nexesha lowama-2019, nayo yonke imimandla ebonisa ukuphucuka.

“Indlela yokusebenza kwezithuthi ngo-Okthobha yomeleza ukuba abantu bazakuhamba xa bevunyelwe. Ngelishwa, iimpendulo zikarhulumente ekuveleni kokwahluka kwe-Omicron zibeka emngciphekweni unxibelelwano lwehlabathi oluthathe ixesha elide ukuphinda lwakhiwe, ”utshilo.
