Air Qantas entsha? Singapore Virgin? Air Tiger X? Umbono wabathwali abakhulu abalawula esibhakabhakeni sele kuthethwa ngako okoko nje iinqwelomoya bezikho.

Nangona kunjalo, isibheno sokudityaniswa kwenqwelomoya siye sakhula kulo nyaka njengoko amaxabiso epetroli enyuka, malunga neshumi elinambini leenqwelomoya ziye zawa okanye zafakwa kwi-bankruptcy, abaphathi beenqwelo moya baqala ukucinga ngeendleko zokutshintsha kwemozulu, kwaye iBoeing kunye neAirbus ekugqibeleni baqala ukuhambisa umva njengoko ibango lithambile.

Unyaka udlale njengesepha yeopera yeenqwelomoya njengoko iinqwelomoya zidlala ngothando.

Ngo-Epreli, iinqwelomoya zase-US iDelta kunye noMntla-ntshona zathatha inxaxheba zenza eyona nqwelomoya inkulu emhlabeni. Kwiinyanga zamva nje iBritish Airways ibincokola ne-Iberia yaseSpain, kwaye iLufthansa yesibini ngobukhulu eYurophu, kwiminyaka emithathu kuphela emva komtshato wayo neSwiss International, ifuna elinye iqabane kwi-Austrian Airlines, ekwafunwa yi-S7, eyesibini ngobukhulu eRussia. inqwelomoya.

Ngaphandle kokuba iSingapore Airlines ithintelwe ukusukela iChina Eastern Airlines ngoJanuwari, iinqwelomoya kwihemisphere esemazantsi zifumene ingqwalasela encinci kade.

Nokuba yeyiphi indibaniselwano yenqwelomoya, udibaniso kummandla we-Asia-Pacific ngokwesiko luthwaxwa lukhuselo, imiqobo yolawulo kunye neempazamo ezicwangcisiweyo ezonakalise iinzame ezininzi zeenqwelomoya zokuhlangana kunye nokuhlala kunye.

Umphathi oyintloko weQantas uGeoff Dixon usebenzise isiphumo sakhe senzuzo yokuvalelisa kwinyanga ephelileyo ukuyidubula okokugqibela, ecela uRhulumente ukuba aphume endleleni yeenqwelomoya ezifuna ukudibana. “Kudala ndithetha ngo (kokuqinisa) ukusukela mhla ndathatha intambo kwiQantas. Ayinakuphepheka,” utshilo. ” Iye yacotha kancinane kunokuba bendicinga, kodwa ikhawuleza ngakumbi ngoku kunokuba bendicinga.

” Ndicinga ukuba kwiminyaka ezayo abantu base-Australia ngokubanzi kunye nabasemagunyeni kuya kufuneka baqonde ukuba yomelele njengeQantas kwaye inkulu njengoko injalo, kuya kufuneka ukuba kubekho uhlobo oluthile lokuzimanya.

"... Ndicinga inqanaba lokuvuthwa kunye nenqanaba lokuqonda xa le ngxoxo isenzeka, njengoko ngokuqinisekileyo iya kuba njalo, ndicinga ukuba iya kuba yimfuneko kakhulu kuba iinqwelomoya azikwazi ukuqhubeka ngale ndlela izinto ziyiyo."

Kule nyanga i-International Air Transport Association ithe ilindele ukuba icandelo leenqwelo moya lithumele ilahleko ye-US9.3 yeebhiliyoni zeedola (i-A11 yeebhiliyoni zeedola) kule minyaka mibini izayo.

Kwaye ngelixa ixabiso leoli liye lehla laya kutsho kwi-US100 ye-barrel kwiveki ephelileyo, inika ukuphumla ukusuka kwindawo ephezulu ye-US145 umphanda ekuqaleni konyaka, lisengaphezulu kwexabiso layo le-US25-a-barrel xa uDixon wathatha intambo eQantas e. 2001.

Uhambo lomoya lwahlala luqinile kwisiqingatha sokuqala sonyaka kodwa i-IATA ngoku ilindele ukukhula kwe-2.8% ngonyaka, ukusuka kwi-5.3% kunyaka odlulileyo. Inzuzo yokusebenza kweenqwelomoya iye yahlaziywa yehla ukusuka kwi-US16.3 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngo-2007 ukuya kwi-US300 yezigidi zeedola ngo-2008.

Ubuncinci iinqwelomoya ezingama-25 zihambile ukusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2008 kwaye abanye abalindelekanga ukuba bayibone iKrisimesi.

Umphathi oyintloko we-IATA u-Giovanni Bisignani ukholelwa ukuba ishishini lisengxakini kwaye imigaqo kufuneka iguqulwe ukuze kube lula ukuba iinqwelo-moya zihlangane xa kuyimfuneko.

"Ukuba kukho umyalezo omnye ovela kuninzi lweenqwelomoya eziye zaqhuma ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kulo nyaka, kukuba utshintsho olusisiseko alunakulinda," utshilo.

“Sifuna oorhulumente bacinge ngenkalipho. Kufuneka bathi ndlela-ntle kwizakhiwo eziphelelwe lixesha ezimiselwe ukukhusela abathwali beflegi. Namhlanje ezi zakhiwo zisongela ukusebenza kwethu. Sifuna inkululeko yorhwebo ukuze senze njengalo naliphi na elinye ishishini. "

Oorhulumente sele beqalisile ukwenza okuthile. Ngo-Matshi isivumelwano sesibhakabhaka esivulekileyo phakathi kwe-US kunye ne-European Union saqala ukusebenza, sivumela nayiphi na inqwelomoya ukusuka nakuwuphi na ummandla wolawulo ukuba ibhabhe iye nakweyiphi na indawo phakathi kwenye.

Iintetho ezingaphaya zicwangciselwe le nyanga kunye nemiqobo emininzi eseleyo, ngakumbi izithintelo ezibekelwe abathwali be-EU abatyala imali kwiinqwelomoya zaseMelika.

Ngelixa izithintelo zisusiwe kubathwali be-EU abathenga izabelo ezininzi kwiinqwelomoya zase-US, amalungelo abo okuvota ahlala ekwi-25%. Abathetha-thethwano baya kuhamba ngokukhawuleza ukuba bavale isivumelwano ngaphambi konyulo lwase-US ngoNovemba, besoyika ukuba urhulumente okhokelwa nguBarack Obama uya kuba ngaphantsi.

Ekhaya, uRhulumente we-Federal uya kusebenzisa iphepha lakhe elimhlophe le-aviation, eliza kukhululwa kunyaka ozayo, njengesiseko sokuhlaziywa kwenkululeko yamazwe ngamazwe, ukuguqulwa kokulawula kunye nobunini bangaphandle.

Sele kulo nyaka usayine isivumelwano sesibhakabhaka esivulekileyo ne-US kwaye sithetha ne-EU ngesivumelwano esifanayo. Umba wobunini, nangona kunjalo, uhlala unenkohliso.

UMthetho weNtengiso weQantas umisela ukuba akukho nkampani yeenqwelomoya yangaphandle enokuba ngabanikazi abangaphezu kwe-25% yeQantas kwaye akukho qela leenqwelo moya linokufumana naziphi na iipesenti ezingama-35 zomphathi weflegi. Ubunini bamazwe angaphandle buthintelwe ukuya kuma-49%.

Emva kokulwa nokuthengiswa kukarhulumente we-Howard kwi-Telstra, i-Labour iya kuba kwindawo yokulala yezopolitiko ukuba iyavumelana nokuthengiswa okufanayo kweQantas.

Naziphi na izicwangciso ezinjalo ziya kudibana nenkcaso eyomeleleyo yemanyano kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo ayinakuthandeka kuluntu njengoko kusilele ukhuphiswano lwabucala lonyaka ophelileyo.

Iinzame ezidlulileyo ze-Singapore Airlines ukudibanisa okanye ukwenza umanyano lwengingqi kunye neQantas azikwazanga ukujikeleza uMthetho weNtengiso weQantas. Iimidlalo ezininzi zeQantas zokurhintyela i-Air New Zealand ziye zavalwa ngabalawuli bokhuphiswano kumacala omabini eTasman nakwiNkundla ePhakamileyo yaseNew Zealand. Iziko le-Asia Pacific Aviation usihlalo wesigqeba uPeter Harbison ukholelwa ukuba ukudityaniswa kulo mmandla kunokuya kuthi ga kwiminyaka eli-10 kwaye akunakufane kuquke iQantas.

“Umbono wam kukuba, ewe, aba bathwali baseYurophu baya kuba bakhulu,” utshilo. “I-Air France kunye neLufthansa ziza kuzama ukwandisa ukudityaniswa kwazo kwimimandla. Kodwa izakuthatha ixesha elide ukuza apha kuba intsonkothile kwaye kukho ubuzwe obuninzi kulo nto.

“Enye yezona zinto zinomtsalane kakhulu ekujoliswe kuzo kulo mmandla ngoku yiVirgin Blue. Ukuba inokuthi idibane no-Air New Zealand inokuba ... okhuphisana naye onamandla kwiQantas.

“Ayizukuchaphazeleka kwizithintelo zokhuphiswano kwaye iya kuvumela i-Air New Zealand ukuba ifikelele kwinethiwekhi yasekhaya yase-Australia. Ukuba ubune-5 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi okanye i-10 lamawaka ezigidi, ngumtshato owenziwe ebhankini.

Nangona kunjalo, inzuzo yerekhodi ye-Qantas yezigidi ezingama-969.7 yezigidi zeedola kulo nyaka, ukonyuka kwe-44%, ayinakwenzeka ukuba iqinisekise nabani na ukuba iQantas iyenza nzima okanye ishukumisa uvelwano ekuyivumeleni inkululeko enkulu.
