I-Air France-KLM nge-11 kaDisemba yafaka isikhalazo ngokusesikweni kwiKhomishini yaseYurophu malunga neemeko apho iLufthansa inenjongo yokuthatha iflegi yaseAustria.
I-Air France-KLM ithathe inxaxheba ngexesha lokuwa kwinkqubo yokuqala yokubhida ekhokelela kushishino lwabucala lwe-Austrian Airlines kodwa ngelishwa yafikelela kwisigqibo sokuba yayingekho kwimeko yokungenisa isindululo semali ngokuhambelana nemiyalelo ebekwe yi-Österreichische. Industrieholding AG (IsiNgesi: i-Austrian industry-holding stock corporation).
Iqela leenqwelomoya zaseFranco-Dutch libanga ukuba isivumelwano ekwafikelelwa kuso ngoDisemba 2008 phakathi kwabasemagunyeni baseAustria kunye neLufthansa asiyilandeli imiyalelo ebekwe ngexesha lenkqubo yokubhida kwi-Air France-KLM, kwaye ilungiselelwe ngokukodwa ukucinywa kwetyala le-500 yezigidi zee-euro. Ilizwe lase-Austrian kwaye kusekwe kwixabiso elinokubakho lehlisiwe leequity kubaninizabelo bakarhulumente. Isivumelwano esisayinwe yiLufthansa kunye namagosa e-arhente karhulumente wase-Austrian ethengisa izinto zabucala sinika inkampani yaseJamani isabelo se-41.56 sepesenti kwi-Austrian Airlines. Eso sivumelwano sinexabiso le-366,000 ye-euro (i-US $465,000) kodwa ibona kwangaphambili iintlawulo ezongezelelweyo ukuya kuthi ga kwi-euro162 yezigidi kuxhomekeke ekubeni, kwaye kweliphi inqanaba, i-Austrian ijika ibe nenzuzo kwakhona. I-Lufthansa ikwanikezele ngokuthenga i-Austrian Airlines eseleyo nge-euro4.44 ngesabelo esibanjwe esidlangalaleni.
Le asiyiyo yodwa i-Air France-KLM ekwafuneka ijongane neLufthansa kwidabi lesibhakabhaka saseYurophu. Iingxelo zamva nje zibonisa ukuba imibutho yase-Italiya kunye nabezopolitiko babonakala benyusa isikali ukuya eLufthansa kwaye beshiya i-Air France-KLM ngasemva ngaphezulu kwe-Alitalia.
I-CAI, i-consortium yamashishini aphezulu ase-Italiya, yaza kuhlangula u-Alitalia nge-427 yezigidi ze-euro ezithengiweyo zezona mpahla zayo zingcono ukukhusela umthwali ukuba apheliswe.
Emva kweeveki zokukrokra, u-Alitalia wagcinwa ebhabha emva kokuba abaqhubi beenqwelomoya kunye namalungu e-cabin crew bagqibe ekubeni basixhase isithembiso sokuhlangula se-CAI. Kodwa iimanyano ezinamandla zase-Italiya zisenokuphazamisa isivumelwano kunye nenqwelomoya yangaphandle. Iimanyano ezinkulu ezifana ne-CISL kunye ne-CGIL zithi zikhetha iLufthansa ngenxa yesicwangciso sayo se-multi-hub.
I-CAI ithe i-Air France-KLM kunye ne-Lufthansa zisasilwa kwi-stakee efikelela kuma-25 ekhulwini e-Alitalia. Ngaphandle kweengxelo zeendaba zokuba i-Air France-KLM sele itywine isivumelwano, umphathi we-CAI uRocco Sabelli uthe ukhuphiswano lusavuliwe. Isigqibo siya kwenziwa ekupheleni konyaka, ngenjongo yokuba neqabane langaphandle kwindawo xa i-Alitalia iphinda ihlaziywe njengomphathi omncinci ngoJan 12, wathi.
I-CAI iphinde yagqibezela ukuthengwa kwenqwelomoya encinci yase-Italiya i-Air One, imisebenzi yayo iya kusongezwa kweyase-Alitalia. Ikwajolise ekunciphiseni umndilili weminyaka yeenqanawa zase-Alitalia ukuya kwiminyaka eyi-8.6 ngo-2009 ukusuka kwi-12.4 iminyaka.
I-British Airways nayo ikwiphulo lokuba liqabane, kodwa i-CAI yathi ithanda i-Air France-KLM okanye iLufthansa kuba babenomdla wokuthatha inxaxheba kwinqwelomoya yelizwe lase-Italy, ngelixa i-BA ifuna kuphela intsebenziswano yorhwebo.
Inkulumbuso yase-Italiya uSilvio Berlusconi, oshukumayo ukusindisa u-Alitalia ukhuthaze ukusekwa kweqela le-CAI, uthe angathanda ukuba umntu ophikisana naye abethe umanyano lwezorhwebo no-Alitalia kunokuba athenge isibonda sokulingana.
Inkulumbuso uBerlusconi ubhengeze ukuba iLufthansa lukhetho lwakhe alukhethayo emva kokuba iAir France-KLM ayiphumelelanga isivumelwano, acinga ukuba sifuna ukufumana u-Alitalia ngexabiso eliphantsi. Ukuva umlawuli oyintloko we-Air France-KLM, wabhabha eRoma kwaye wavuma ukubuyisela izigqibo ze-CAI kwii-hubs kunye nenethiwekhi ukuba zinengeniso.
I-Lufthansa, ekhokela ipakethe kwicandelo leenqwelomoya zaseYurophu, ivumile ukuthenga iBrussels Airlines kwaye ikwiingxoxo zokufumana i-SAS nayo. Abanye bacinga ukuba u-Alitalia angazuza ngokuzimanya neqabane elikhulu kunokuba alinde ukubona ukuba ishiyeke phi ekugqibeleni.
Ngoku uhlenga-hlengiso lokwenyani luya kuphakathi kuMntla Yurophu yiLufthansa, xa lugqityiwe I-Air France-KLM inokucholachola okushiyekileyo njenge-Olympic Airlines kunye ne-Malev Airlines ezijongeka zivuthiwe ukuba zivuthwe.
I-Lufthansa ifuna u-Alitalia ukuze abo bakhuphisana nabo bangabi nayo imakethi yase-Italiya kwaye ngomanyano lwe-Alitalia banokuzalisa ii-Airbus A15 ezili-380 eziyaleleyo.
Kodwa, u-Alitalia uhlala eyintengiso enzima ngenxa yembali yayo yesenzo sabasebenzi kunye nemizamo yohlengahlengiso eyasilelayo. Kodwa kwakhona baya kuthenga kwimarike yomthengi kwaye kuya kufuneka bathathe nantoni na abanokuyifumana.
