Iziphumo zovavanyo lwangaphambi kokuhamba olwenziwe zizithuthi ezine zeHeathrow's transatlantic- American Airlines, Iinqwelo-moya zaseBritani, United Airlines neVirgin Atlantic - ziya kudityaniswa luphononongo oluyalelwe kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ukubonisa ukusebenza kovavanyo lwangaphambi kokunduluka kwabo bakhweleyo kwiindlela zamanye amazwe. Ingxelo yokugqibela iza kwabiwa noorhulumente kumacala omabini e-Atlantic.

Isifundo seqela silandela kwiphulo likaRhulumente 'loVavanyo lokukhupha', ukusuka kwi-15^th NgeyoMnga, izakunika abakhweli ithuba lokunciphisa ixesha labo lokuvalelwa bodwa ukusuka kwiintsuku ezili-14 ukuya kwezintlanu, ukubangaba bavavanye ukuba abanayo intsholongwane. Ngelixa ishishini lokubhabha ngenqwelomoya lamkele 'uVavanyo lokukhululwa', kuye kwacaca ukuba eyona njongo yokuvavanywa kwabakhweli yinkqubo yangaphambi kokuhamba, kwaye ulingo lwenqwelomoya oludibeneyo lujolise ekwenzeni ityala lesisombululo esifunekayo. Olu phononongo luza kuxhaswa ngemali nguHeathrow kwaye ifuna ukubonelela ukuqonda okungcono malunga nokuba uvavanyo langaphambi kokuhamba lungasetyenziselwa njani ukuphelisa ngokukhuselekileyo isidingo sokuzimela wedwa xa ufika.

UHeathrow uya kuba nokufikelela kwidatha yovavanyo engachazwanga eveliswa luvavanyo ngalunye langaphambi kokuhamba olwenziwa ziinqwelomoya. Uvavanyo ngalunye lukhethekile kwinqwelomoya nganye, kodwa oku kwahluka kuya kubonelela ngedatha etyebileyo neyantlukwano eya kuqinisa izigqibo zophando. Iziphumo ezongezelekayo zeemvavanyo ezahlukeneyo ziya kunceda ishishini kunye noorhulumente ukuba bavavanye ukuba yeyiphi na indlela yovavanyo lwangaphambi kokuhamba olusebenzayo nolukhuselekileyo ngokwaneleyo ukuthatha indawo yokuvalelwa kunye neminye imiqobo yokuhamba.

Inani kunye nenqanaba labaphetheyo ababandakanyekayo lenza ukuba ibe sesona sifundo sikhulu sokuhamba ngaphambi kwexesha e-UK. Ukongamela kweengcali kuya kubonelelwa yi-Oxera kunye ne-Edge Health, eya kuthi ibhale isifundo. I-Oxera kunye ne-Edge Health ngaphambili zichonge ukungabikho kwedatha yokwenyani yangaphambi kokuhamba apho isiseko sohlalutyo lokusebenza kolu hlobo lwemodeli yovavanyo.

Izilingo ezidibeneyo ziya kuba simahla kubo bonke abakhweli kwaye ziya kwenzeka kwiindlela ezikhethiweyo ze-transatlantic. Kulindeleke ukuba uphononongo luvavanye ukusebenza kweemvavanyo ze-PCR, i-LAMP kunye nezixhobo ze-Lateral Flow Antigen, apho zisetyenziswa khona kwiindlela zovavanyo zenqwelo moya nganye. Ezinye zezilingo ziyakusebenzisa indawo yokuvavanywa kukaCollinson kunye neSwitzerlandport kwiTheminali yesi-2 kunye naseTheminali yesi-5 ka-Heathrow, neyasungulwa ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka. Bonke abathathi-nxaxheba baya kudinga ukuthobela izikhokelo zikaRhulumente ngexesha lokuhamba, njengemfuneko yokuba abakhweli abafika eHeathrow kufuneka bazihlukanise iintsuku ezili-14 okanye, ukusuka kwi-15^th NgeyoMnga, kangangeentsuku ezintlanu apho iziphumo ebezingalunganga zovavanyo ziya kubakhulula bodwa.

Olu vavanyo langaphambi kokuhamba sele lusetyenziswa ngabathengi abathile kwiinqwelomoya ezisuka eHeathrow ukuya kwezinye zeendlela zase-UK ezaziwa kakhulu kwezorhwebo nakwezokuhamba, kumzamo wokubuyisela ngokukhuselekileyo unxibelelwano lweli lizwe. Kulo nyaka, kwabhengezwa ukuba uHeathrow uthathwe kakhulu nguParis Charles de Gaulle njengesona sikhululo seenqwelomoya esona sixakekileyo eYurophu, sibeka emngciphekweni unxibelelwano lwase-UK kunye nehlabathi liphela. Intshona Melika yenye yeemarike ezimbalwa apho i-UK inentsalela yorhwebo - okuthetha ukuba i-UK ithumela ngaphandle ngaphandle kokungenisa kuyo-kwaye i-USA iyodwa inika ingxelo yesihlanu sezithuthi zikaHeathrow, ezinabakhweli abazizigidi ezingama-21 kunye ne- £ 22bn ye- Ukuthunyelwa kwelinye ilizwe e-UK kuhamba ukusuka kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ukuya eMelika ngo-2019. Zonke ezi ziqinisekiso ziyaqhubeka ukuba nefuthe elibi yi-COVID-19, kodwa uvavanyo lwaphambi kokumka njengenye indlela yokuvalelwa yedwa ekufikeni kwayo inokunika indlela yokuqalisa kwezi ndawo zonxibelelwano zibalulekileyo.

Umphathi we-Heathrow, uJohn Holland-Kaye, uthe: “Ezi zilingo ziya kwakhela kwisicwangciso-qhinga sokuqala sovavanyo sikaRhulumente, simisela imigangatho yendlela ekhuselekileyo nebanzi yokuvavanywa kwabakhweli, esinethemba lokuba iya kukukhawulezisa ukubuyela kukhenketho njengoko besisazi njalo. Njengoko iBrexit isondele, kufuneka sifumane ngokungxamisekileyo eyona ndlela isebenzayo yokubuyisela uthungelwano lwezorhwebo lwase-UK kunye nokuququzelela uhambo olukhuselekileyo lwehlabathi, ukugcina iBritani ikhuphisana njengoko ishiya i-EU.

I-CEO yeBritish Airways, uSean Doyle, uthe: “Emva kweendaba ezamkelekileyo kule veki iphelileyo zokuba uRhulumente unciphisa ukuvalelwa yedwa kubahambi ukuya kwiintsuku ezintlanu, iBritish Airways iyakuvuyela ukusebenza ngokusondeleyo neqela laseHeathrow kwizilingo phakathi kwe-US neLondon ezakuthi izame ukubonisa ukuba umgaqo owomeleleyo wangaphambi kokuhamba Uvavanyo luza kunceda ekuvuleni ngokupheleleyo isibhakabhaka kwaye luphelise isidingo sokwahlukaniswa.

"Simi noogxa bethu eHeathrow nakwezinye iinqwelomoya zase-UK ukuqinisekisa ukuba xa sisonke senza konke esinako ukuze iBritane noqoqosho luhambe kwakhona."

USekela Mongameli oPhezulu we-United Airlines kunye neGosa eliyiNtloko labaThengi, uToby Enqvist, uthe: “Siyayamkela le ntsebenziswano neHeathrow Airport Limited ebonisa ixabiso lovavanyo lwangaphambi kokuhamba kunye nendima eliyidlalayo ekuvuleni uhambo lwamazwe ngamazwe. I-United iye yahlaziya iinkqubo zethu zokucoca ukunceda ukuba siqinisekise ukuba amava okuhamba akhuselekile kwaye kuvavanywa kuyaqhubeka kungumba ophambili kwindlela yethu eyahlukeneyo yokuqinisekisa impilo yabathengi bethu. ”

UShai Weiss, i-CEO, iVirgin Atlantic uthe:

Uvavanyo olukhokelwa lushishino, njengelinge lethu lokuvavanywa kweLondon Heathrow-Barbados, lwakhela kubungqina obukhoyo bokuba uvavanyo olusebenzayo langaphambi kokuhamba lungathatha indawo ekhuselekileyo. Ngokusebenzisana ngokusondeleyo, iziphumo zovavanyo ziya kongeza kumzimba wobungqina bokwenyani behlabathi obudityaniswe nguHeathrow kolu phando lubalulekileyo.

Sihlaba ikhwelo kuRhulumente wase-UK ukuba asondele ngokukhawuleza kule modeli, ukuze kuvuleke isibhakabhaka, athathe indawo yokuvalelwa yedwa kwaye anyuse ukuzithemba kwabathengi. Iyakuvumela ukuhamba ngokukhululekileyo kwabantu kunye neempahla ukuba kuqalise kwakhona, kuxhasa ukubuyiselwa kwezoqoqosho e-UK kunye nokukhusela ngaphezulu kwemisebenzi engama-500,000 exhomekeke kwindiza. Sinethemba lokuba uvavanyo luza kukhokelela nakwindlela yokuba imida yase-US ivuleleke kubahambi base-UK. ”
