I-Puerto Rico ifuna ukwenza ngasese isikhululo seenqwelomoya saseLuis Munoz Marin

ISan Juan-iPuerto Rico ifuna imvume yokwenza umsebenzi wabucala kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sayo esiphambili phantsi kwenkqubo yomdibaniso eyenzelwe ukuxhasa ngemali ukuphuculwa kweenqwelomoya, amagosa athi. Kodwa isiqithi sifuna imali yokujongana nengxaki yohlahlo lwabiwo-mali, hayi ukuvuselela kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya.

Urhulumente unokufumana ubuncinci i-1 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngokuvumela inkampani yabucala ukuba iqhube isikhululo seenqwelomoya iLuis Munoz Marin kwikomkhulu, ngokuka-Alvaro Pilar, umlawuli olawulayo wesikhululo sesikhululo seenqwelomoya.

Amagosa acele ukukhululwa kwimithetho ye-Federal Aviation Administration ukuze basebenzise imali ukuze bancede ukuhlangula uqoqosho lwesiqithi, uthe.

“Kufuneka sihlawule intsilelo,” utshilo uPilar.

IPuerto Rico izama ukunciphisa i-3.2 yeebhiliyoni zeedola njengoko isilwa ne-15.9 yepesenti yezinga lentswelo-ngqesho, elingaphezulu kunalo naliphi na ilizwe lase-US. Urhulumente ugxothe abasebenzi bakarhulumente abangaphezu kwe-8,000 kulo nyaka, kwaye ngaphezulu kwe-12,000 yokudilizwa okucetyiweyo kulo nyaka uzayo.

I-FAA ineentsuku ze-30 zokuphonononga isicelo sokuqala sasePuerto Rico, esingeniswe ngoLwesithathu, isithethi sikaMarcia Alexander-Adams sithe.

I-Louisiana kunye ne-Illinois sele zithatha inxaxheba kwinkqubo yokuthengiswa kwabucala, nangona amagosa engekafumani umtyali-mali we-New Orleans' Louis Armstrong Airport, kunye neChicago izama ukufumana umtyali-mali omtsha we-Midway Airport emva komzamo wokuqala owahluleka xa iimarike zezimali zase-US. yantlitheka.

I-FAA ivumela abafaki-zicelo ukuba bacele ukuba imali isetyenziselwe iinjongo ngaphandle kokuphuculwa kwesikhululo seenqwelomoya, kodwa oko kuya kufuna ukuxhaswa kweepesenti ezingama-65 zeenqwelo moya ezisebenza ePuerto Rico, eziquka iMelika, i-US Airways, iJetBlue kunye noMntla-ntshona.

Ukuba ithe yamkelwa, inxalenye yale mali iza kusetyenziswa ukucutha ityala likaGunyaziwe weZibuko lezigidi ezingama-800 eerandi, utshilo uPilar. Iza kusetyenziselwa iiprojekthi ezinjengokuhlaziya iipali zeenqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa kwisithili saseSan Juan yobukoloniyali ukuze kuhlaliswe iinqanawa ezinkulu.

“Okwangoku, asinayo indlela yokuhlawulela iiprojekthi ezintsha,” utshilo. “Sibanjiwe.”

UGunyaziwe weZibuko useza kuba ngabanini besikhululo seenqwelomoya, kodwa inkampani yabucala iya kuqhuba eli ziko kwaye iqokelele ingeniso yayo. Emva kokuba iPuerto Rico ichonge umtyalo-mali, kufuneka ingenise isicelo sokugqibela kwi-FAA ukuze ihlaziywe.

Ukwenziwa kwezinto zabucala kuhlala kungumxholo ochukumisayo kulo mmandla we-US Caribbean, apho abahlali baququzelela uqhanqalazo olukhulu, olunobundlobongela xa urhulumente wayethengisa inkqubo yezempilo kunye nenkampani yemfonomfono yabucala ngeminyaka yoo-1990.

Isikhululo seenqwelomoya sasePuerto Rico sasikhwele abantu abazizigidi ezi-4.6 ngo-2008 kwaye siqeshe abasebenzi abamalunga nama-300.
