I-Heathrow: Ukukhula kwaqala ngo-2022, kodwa ukuguquguquka kuhleli

UHeathrow wamkele abakhweli abazizigidi ezisi-9.7 kwi-Q1 2022 ngokuhambelana noqikelelo lwethu. NgoJanuwari nangoFebruwari babebuthathaka kakhulu kunokuba bekulindelwe ngenxa yezithintelo zokuhamba ezinxulumene ne-Omicron, ngelixa imfuno kaMatshi yonyuka emva kokususwa okukhawulezileyo okungalindelekanga kuzo zonke izithintelo zokuhamba zase-UK nge-18 kaMatshi.

I-Heathrow iya kuhlala ilahleka ngo-2022 njengoko ilahleko ye-COVID ingaphezulu kwe-4 yeebhiliyoni zeedola - Ngaphandle kokunyuka kwemfuno ephumayo, i-Heathrow ayibikezeli ukubuyiswa kwenzuzo kunye nezabelo kwi-2022. Nangona i-Q1 2022 ingeniso inyuke yaya kwi-£ 516m kwaye i-EBITDA ehlengahlengisiweyo yajika ilungile ukuze ifikelele kwi-£ 273 yezigidi, ilahleko yobhubhani iyonke ngoku ikhuphe i-£ 4.0 yezigidigidi. Heathrow uqoqosho lwemali luhlala luqinile kunye nezixhobo eziyehlayo ukuya kumaqondo aphambi kobhubhane.

I-Ista ikhuthazwe kukubhukisha ngomzuzu wokugqibela njengoko sicwangcisa uhambo olukhuselekileyo nolugudileyo lwasehlotyeni - Nje ukuba kucace ukuba izithintelo zokuhamba zase-UK ziya kususwa ngokupheleleyo, oogxa bethu basebenze nzima kakhulu bebeka isicwangciso sokwamkela ukubhukisha ngomzuzu wokugqibela ukubaleka kwe-Ista - ngaphezulu kwe-95% yabakhweli ngokhuseleko kwimizuzu emi-5. Siceba ukuqhubeka nokubonelela ngenkonzo elungileyo kwihlobo elixakekileyo, sivula iSitenari sesi-4 ngoJulayi kwaye sigaye amagosa okhuseleko amatsha angaphezu kwe-1,000. Sikwancedisa iinkampani zeenqwelomoya, abaphatha umhlaba kunye nabathengisi ukuba bagcwalise izithuba ezingaphezu kwe-12,000 kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya. Uhambo lokufika olugudileyo lubaluleke kakhulu kunanini na ngaphambili njengoko abantu abaninzi beqala ukuhamba kwakhona okokuqala, kwaye sithembele kuMbutho weBorder onezicwangciso ezifanelekileyo kunye nezixhobo endaweni yencopho yehlobo.

Iqamza lokuhamba ehlotyeni, kodwa ubusika buba ngumkhenkce elundini phayaa -Sibona ukonyuka okwethutyana kwimfuno eqhutywa ngabakhweli bezolonwabo abaphuma e-UK bethatha ithuba lokuthintelwa kokuhamba e-UK kunye nokukhulula iivawutsha zokuhamba eziye zafunyanwa ngexesha lo bhubhani. Ngenxa yoko, sihlaziya uqikelelo lwethu lwabakhweli luka-2022 ukusuka kwi-45.5 yezigidi ukuya kwi-52.8 yezigidi, nto leyo emele imbuyekezo kuma-65% ezithuthi zaphambi kobhubhane kulo nyaka. Nangona kunjalo, imfuno ihlala iguquguquka kakhulu, kwaye silindele ukuba la manani abakhweli ehle kakhulu emva kwehlobo. Sele sibona iinqwelomoya zirhoxisa iinkonzo ekwindla kunye neenyani zeendleko eziphezulu zepetroli, ukukhula okuphantsi kwe-GDP, imfazwe yaseUkraine kunye nobhubhane oqhubekayo uya kutsalela kwimfuno. Sisekubhubhane kwaye iimarike ezininzi zisavaliwe, phantse iipesenti ezingama-80 kunye neemfuno zovavanyo kunye nogonyo kwaye enye inkxalabo iyakubona ukubuya kwezithintelo zokuhamba zase-UK.

Abagibeli bafuna amava amahle, isiphakamiso se-CAA siya kuyenza ibe mandundu – Imiceli mngeni yokusebenza ebonwe kwishishini leenqwelomoya lase-UK ngo-Epreli ibonisa ukuba bangakanani abakhweli abafuna uhambo olulula, olukhawulezayo noluthembekileyo ngalo lonke ixesha behamba. Isicwangciso sethu se-H7 sibeka phambili utyalo-mali ekugcineni iihambo zabakhweli zihamba ngokukhuselekileyo, ngokutyibilikayo kwaye ngaphantsi kwe-2% yokunyuka kwamaxabiso amatikiti - ngaphantsi kakhulu kumakhulu eeponti ezongezelelweyo zeenqwelo-moya eziphunyeziweyo kwiiveki zokuqala zokubuyiselwa. Asizamkeli izindululo zangoku ze-CAA eziza kubona abakhweli bejongene nemigca emide kunye nolibaziseko oluthe kratya, kunye nokusongela amandla kaHeathrow okuzixhasa ngemali. Lo mbono uphinda ugxininiswe zii-arhente zokuhlela ezithe zaphakamisa inkxalabo yokuba izicwangciso zomlawuli zibeka uxanduva lwemali yesikhululo seenqwelomoya phantsi koxinzelelo kwaye sisemngciphekweni wokuthotywa kwenqanaba letyala laso okwesibini.

Inkuthazo ye-Aviation Fuels Fuels iqala ukuhambisa iinqwelomoya ezinekhabhoni esezantsi ukusuka eHeathrow -I-Heathrow yazisa inkuthazo ye-SAF ngo-2022 ukukhuthaza iinqwelomoya ukuba zitshintshe kumafutha ekhabhoni ephantsi. Sele kulo nyaka, sitshintshe i-0.5% yamafutha esikhululo seenqwelomoya ukuya kwi-SAF, nto leyo eyenza iHeathrow ibe ngoyena msebenzisi mkhulu we-SAF kuso nasiphi na isikhululo seenqwelomoya esikhulu kwihlabathi. Esi sisiqalo kuphela, kwaye siyaqonda ukuba kusekuninzi ekufuneka kuhanjwe – ke ngoko siza kube sinyusa inkqubo yethu yenkuthazo kule minyaka izayo kwaye siya kuqhubeka sifuna isigunyaziso sase-UK sokusetyenziswa kwe-SAF nge-10% ngo-2030.
