- Abathengi bajonge phambili kuhambo lwasehlotyeni
- Iingcali ngoku ziqikelela ukuba i-US izakufikelela ekukhuseleni umhlambi phakathi kuJuni ukuya ekuqaleni kukaJulayi- kwiiveki ezintathu ukuya kwezintandathu ngaphambi kwengqikelelo yangaphambili
- Ukubuya ngokubanzi kokuhamba kuya kuxhomekeka kwindlela ezikhawulezayo ngayo izizwe ekufumaneni abantu bazo abagonyiwe
Ukhenketho eMelika luza kutyhala umzi-mveliso wenqwelomoya wasekhaya waseMelika ukuba ubuyise i-COVID kwangoko nge-2022.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, abahlalutyi boshishino bebenokucinga ukuba ukuchacha ngokupheleleyo kweli xesha lase-US bekuphantse kungenzeki, kodwa indibaniselwano yemfuno ephambili, uvuselelo lwezoqoqosho, kunye nokufikelela kugonyo kwenza umahluko. Kusesekuseni kakhulu ukuthetha malunga nokubuyela ngokupheleleyo kwishishini lilonke, kodwa iingcali zilindele ukuba ezinye zeenqwelo moya ziqale ukuguqula imali kwisithuba seenyanga, ngakumbi e-US.
Ukwanda ngokukhawuleza kokufumaneka kwamachiza kunye nokukhuthaza uqoqosho ukusuka kwi-1.9 yezigidi zeedola Umthetho weSicwangciso sohlangulo lwaseMelika zizizathu ezibini zokwanda kukhenketho lwasekhaya e-US. Zombini ezi zinto zenzekile zangqinelana nexesha lokuphuka kwentwasahlobo kumazwe amaninzi, nto leyo ebangele ukuba ibekho imfuno.
Abathengi bajonge phambili kuhambo lwasehlotyeni, kwaye iingcali ngoku ziqikelela ukuba i-US iyakufikelela ekukhuseleni umhlambi phakathi kuJuni ukuya ekuqaleni kukaJulayi- kwiiveki ezintathu ukuya kwezintandathu ngaphambi kwengqikelelo yangaphambili.
Phakathi ku-Matshi, imfuno yokuhamba e-US inyuke yaya ngaphezulu kwama-50 eepesenti yamanqanaba e-2019, elilelona liphezulu ibizinzile okoko kwaqala ubhubhane.
Okuchasene kuyinyani kukhenketho lweshishini nolwamanye amazwe, olusephantsi ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-80 ukusuka ngo-2019. La macandelo emarike akazukuphinda abuyele phambi kowama-2023.
Ukuphulukana nohambo lweshishini ngumceli mngeni wokwenene kwezinye iinkampani zeenqwelo moya, kuba zixhomekeke kubathengi abanesivuno esiphezulu ukubonelela ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha senzuzo yabo kunye nesithathu sengeniso kuqoqosho olukhulu olunje ngeUS. Ukuhlawulela ilahleko yeshishini kunye nabahambi bamanye amazwe, abathwali beenkonzo ezipheleleyo baqala ukuthengisa iinkonzo ezininzi kwi-la carte, ejolise kubathengi ngokubanzi abaneemfuno ezahlukeneyo kunye nokuzimisela okuncinci ukuhlawula.
Uhlalutyo lwedatha yezothutho yase-US ityhila ingeniso ngeendawo zokuhlala ezifumanekayo (RASM) zeenqwelomoya ezisebenza ngokupheleleyo ziwe ngepesenti ye-50 ngonyaka-kwikota yesibini ye-2020, eyenza ukuba ibe lelinye lawona maxesha amnyama kubathwali baseMelika. Okwangoku, i-RASM yeenqwelomoya enexabiso eliphantsi yehla ngeepesenti ezingama-23 kwezi nyanga zintathu. Ikota yesithathu yowama-2020 izise ukusebenza kwala maqela mabini eenqwelo moya, kunye nabaphetheyo benciphisa iipesenti ezingama-45 kunye nabathwali beendleko eziphantsi behla ngepesenti ezingama-38.
Ukubuya ngokubanzi kokuhamba kuya kuxhomekeka ekubeni amazwe akhawulezayo afumana njani abantu bawo agonywe kwaye abeke emgangathweni imigaqo-nkqubo yabo yokundwendwela kunye nemigaqo yovavanyo, kodwa ibango lokuhamba lilapha.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- It is still too early to talk about a full recovery for the overall industry, but the experts expect some of the airlines to start turning cashflow positive in a matter of months, particularly in the US.
- The loss of business travel is a real challenge for some full-service airlines, because they depend on high-yielding customers to provide more than half of their profits and a third of revenues in major economies such as the US.
- The analysis of US Department of Transportation data reveals revenue per available seat mile (RASM) for full-service airlines fell 50 percent year-over-year in the second quarter of 2020, making it one of the darkest periods for US carriers.
