Ngaba i-Thai Airways iya kuba nesibindi seMalaysia Airlines?

I-BANGKOK, Thailand (eTN) - Amahemuhemu aphindaphindiweyo malunga ne-Thai Airways International quasi-bankruptcy aye avela kumaphephandaba aseThailand kwiintsuku ezilishumi ezidlulileyo, ukunyanzela umphathi welizwe ukuba akhuphe ukukhululwa ukukhanyela ngokusemthethweni. Kodwa, ngokutsho kwephephandaba iThe Nation, abaphathi baseThai ngoLwesine odlulileyo kuye kwafuneka baqinisekise abasebenzi benkampani yeenqwelomoya bebaqinisekisa “ngenkangeleko ezinzileyo” kwaye bongeze nokuba ukudendwa kwabasebenzi iya kuba yeyona ndlela yokugqibela.

Kuyinyani ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba i-airline ayisayi kubhanga. Urhulumente waseThailand, obambe iipesenti ezingama-51 zeenqwelo moya ngeSebe lezeMali, akazukuyivumela ukuba yenzeke. I-Thai Airways isenokufumana nalitofu yezemali ngenxa yokunqongophala okumandla kwamandla ombane. Inkampani yeenqwelomoya idinga i-Baht 19 yezigidigidi (i-US $ 540 yezigidi) ukusombulula iingxaki zayo zokungabi namali. Ike yaxoxa ngaphambili ngesivumelwano kunye ne-Airbus sokuhlehlisa intlawulo yokuqala ye-Airbus A330-300 entsha ngeenyanga ezintathu. Iijethi ezintandathu kufuneka zihanjiswe apha enyakeni kwaye zithathe indawo yenqwelomoya endala efana ne-Airbus A300 kunye ne-Boeing 747-300.

I-Thai Airways ilahlekelwe yi-Baht 6.6 yezigidigidi (i-188 yezigidi zeedola zase-US) kwiinyanga ezilithoba zokuqala zonyaka kunye neengcali ziqikelela ukuba ngoku inqwelomoya inokulahlekelwa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-300 yezigidi zeedola. Kudliwanondlebe olwenziwa ngasekupheleni kukaDisemba, usekela mongameli olawulayo weThai Airways kwezorhwebo kunye nentengiso uPandit Chanapai uqikelele ukuba ukuvalwa kwezikhululo zeenqwelomoya zaseBangkok phakathi kukaNovemba noDisemba kubize inqwelo moya malunga neeBaht ezingama-500 ezigidi ngosuku.

Nangona kunjalo, iingxaki zezikhululo zeenqwelomoya zaseBangkok zisanda kukhawulezisa ukuhla okukhawulezileyo kwithamsanqa lenqwelomoya. Ukuba i-Thai Airways ifuna ukuphila, kufuneka itshintshe indlela yayo yokuqhuba ishishini kwaye isuse ukuphazamiseka kwezopolitiko, ubuhlanga kunye nenkcubeko yokungasebenzi kakuhle. Kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo, iqhinga leThai Airways belisoloko liguquguquka ngenxa yotshintsho oluthe rhoqo kwibhodi yabalawuli. Ngokuqhelekileyo bavunywa njengabangenabuchule nanjengoko uninzi lwabo bengabaqeshwa kwezopolitiko.

I-Thai Airways okwangoku inenye yezona nqanawa zindala kuzo naziphi na iinqanawa ezinkulu ezithwala i-Asia. Ngokwe-avareji, iminyaka eyi-11.6 kunye neenqwelomoya zeminyaka engama-20 ubudala ezifana ne-Airbus A300 kunye ne-Boeing 747-400.

Enye into eyongezelela kwiingxaki zenkampani yeenqwelo-moya yingxaki yayo yabasebenzi abagqithisileyo. Inqwelomoya okwangoku inabasebenzi abangama-27,000, xa kuthelekiswa ne-14,000 eSingapore Airlines okanye i-19,000 eMalaysia Airlines.

Umthwali weflegi waseThai ukwasokola ukwakha ihabhu yomoya esebenzayo eBangkok Suvarnabhumi. Ukuphoswa okupheleleyo kwenkxaso-mali ephantsi ye-Nok Air kwisicwangciso sothungelwano saseThai, ukugqithiselwa ngenkani kwezinye iindlela zasekhaya ukuya eDon Muang okanye uhlaziyo olungaphumelelanga lwewebhusayithi yaseThai lunokuchazwa ngeyona ndlela “njengeempazamo” izigqibo ezicwangcisiweyo ezivela kwibhodi.

Umphathiswa wezoThutho uSopon Sarum uye wazivuma kutsha nje imfuneko yokuba nebhodi yabalawuli abakwaziyo ukujongana namaxesha anzima. “Le bhodi intsha kufuneka ibe ngabantu abanokuzinikela kunye nexesha labo emsebenzini wabo,” ucacise watsho umphathiswa.

Phantsi koqwalaselo olucokisekileyo zonke izinto eziluncedo nezibonelelwa kubo bonke abasebenzi ingakumbi abalawuli namalungu ebhodi. I-Bangkok Post idize ukuba umphathiswa angathanda ukuphonononga izibonelelo ezahlukeneyo zeendleko zepetroli, ukuzonwabisa kunye nokuya kwintlanganiso yebhodi yabalawuli. Unyaka ngamnye, abalawuli, iintsapho zabo kunye nabakhweli abahamba kunye banelungelo le-15 yamatikiti eklasi yokuqala yamahhala kwiindlela zasekhaya kunye nezamazwe ngamazwe kunye nabalawuli bangaphambili kunye neentsapho zabo ukuba bahlawule kuphela i-25 yepesenti yeentlawulo eziqhelekileyo ukuya kwii-12 zamazwe ngamazwe kunye neehambo ezintandathu zasekhaya ngonyaka. . Abasebenzi banokonwabela ukuya kuthi ga kwisaphulelo seepesenti ezingama-90 kumatikiti omoya, ngokutsho kweBangkok Post.

Nangona i-Thai Airways ingenako ukuzonwabisa ngobunewunewu obunjalo kubasebenzi bayo, akunakwenzeka ukuba kwenzeke nantoni na. UMphathiswa ngokuqinisekileyo uya kujongana nokomelela kwabasebenzi baseThailand kunye nebhodi yabalawuli ethoba nasiphi na isigqibo de kuthathelwe omnye uMphathiswa wezoThutho. Kananjalo akunakwenzeka ukuba i-Thai Airways inciphise abasebenzi bayo, uninzi lwabo lukhona ngenxa yoqhakamshelwano lwabo. “Ukudendwa kwabasebenzi iya kuba lelona khetho lokugqibela,” uqinisekisa uChanapai.

Umphathiswa wezeziMali uKorn Chatikavanij ucele abaphathi be-Thai Airways ukuba babonise isicwangciso sohlenga-hlengiso esiya kukhokelela kuzinzo lwemali yenkampani yeenqwelomoya kwaye ibe neziphumo zexesha elide. Kuphela sisicwangciso esithembekileyo esinokuvula iingcango zesisa soMphathiswa.

Amanye amanyathelo sele ethathiwe kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo awonelanga. NgokukaChanapai, iThai sele iqalile ukuhlengahlengisa inethiwekhi yayo. Iindlela ezingamisiyo zokuhamba ezinde kakhulu ukusuka eBangkok ukuya eLos Angeles naseNew York sele zihambile, iRhawuti lalivaliwe nge-16 kaJanuwari kwaye iAuckland ngoku iyaphononongwa.

"Ngokuncipha ngokukhawuleza kweemarike ezifana neKorea neJapan, sicinga ukubonelela ngeenqwelomoya ezingaphakathi," wongezelela uChanapai.

Ngaphantsi koqwalaselo ziifrikhwensi ezifana neBangkok-Manila okanye iTaiwan-Japan okanye iBangkok-Manila-Korea. I-Chanapai ingathanda ukubhabha isiya e-USA idlula nge-Mainland China. Amandla ngoku aya kulungelelaniswa ngokungqongqo kwimfuno kwaye kungalindelwanga ngeliso elibukhali kwizivuno. Kodwa endaweni yokuvala iindlela, iChanapai inomdla wokudlala rhoqo.

Inkampani yeenqwelomoya ifuna ukuphinda ithethe ngemirhumo kunye ne-GDS yayo. “Isasixabisa i-3 yeedola zaseMelika ngentengiselwano nganye,” utshilo usekela mongameli. Ezinye izigqibo ziquka ukubunjwa ngokutsha kwewebhusayithi yaseThai. "Ipesenti ezi-3 kuphela zeentengiso zethu kwiwebhu njengoko singathanda ukufikelela ubuncinane kwipesenti ze-12".

Kwaye ngo-Matshi ozayo, iThai iya kuthi ekugqibeleni itshintshe yonke imisebenzi yayo yasekhaya ukusuka eDon Muang ukuya eSuvarnabhumi.

Uncedo lwemali luza kuvela ekupheleni komsebenzi wokubiyela amafutha exabiso eliphezulu ngoMatshi kunye nokubuya komhambi okulindelekileyo kwisiqingatha sesibini sonyaka. Ngaphandle kwempikiswano malunga nokuziswa kwe-Airbus A330 entsha, inqwelomoya entsha kraca iya kunceda i-Thai airways ukuba yehlise amafutha kunye neendleko zokuyigcina kakhulu. Kodwa i-Thai Airways kufuneka isebenze ngakumbi kwaye kungenxa yokubonisa amanyathelo angakumbi ngoFebruwari. Kwaye kufuneka babe buhlungu, ukuba iipolitiki zivumela oko.

Inqwelo moya ingathatha impembelelo kummelwane wayo waseMalaysia. Ilawulwa ngendlela efanayo neThai Airways namhlanje, iMalaysia Airlines (MAS) yayisemngciphekweni wokutshona ngo-2006. Yahamba ke ngenkqubo ebuhlungu kodwa eyimpumelelo yohlengahlengiso. Ngemali entsha efakwe kwinqwelomoya, urhulumente waseMalaysia uxelele abaphathi ukuba iya kuba kokokugqibela ukuba bakhuphe ibheyile yelizwe. Kodwa baphinda bathembise ukungaphazamisi kulawulo lwe-MAS kunye nezigqibo zorhwebo. Namhlanje, iMalaysia Airlines iphinda inengeniso. Isifundo ekufuneka sicamngcwe ngabasemagunyeni baseThai kunye nebhodi yabalawuli baseThai Airways.
