(eTN) - Ma ke ʻano he "ex-pat" ʻAmelika e noho ana ma Asia, piʻi pinepine ka pono e hele i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻO ka hoʻonui ʻana o nā mokulele e hiki ke lawe ʻia he ʻano like ʻole a loaʻa kekahi o nā "maikaʻi loa o ka honua." ʻO ka lawelawe ʻelima-hōkū e noho mau ana i ka lawelawe ʻelima-hōkū ma Asia, ʻoiai e pili ana i nā mea like me Singapore Airlines a i ʻole Cathy Pacific.
No nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua ʻimi au e ʻimi i ka mokulele maikaʻi loa me ka lele pōkole loa mai SE Asia a i ka US East Coast. Inā ʻaʻohe kumu kālā, a laila e puka mai ana ʻo Singapore Airlines (SQ) me kāna mau mokulele papa ʻoihana pau ʻole mai Singapore a New York, Newark Airport.
ʻElua koʻu pilikia. ʻO ka mea mua, ke noho nei au ma Kuala Lumpur, no laila e hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma Singapore e hoʻopili ai i ka lele SQ, a ʻo ka lua, ʻo ka uku o ka papa ʻoihana hiki ke hiki i ka US$9,000 huakaʻi kaʻapuni, ma waho o ke kumu kūʻai no mākou.
No laila ua hoʻomau ka ʻimi e ʻimi i kēlā mokulele maikaʻi me ka liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻomaha.
E komo i loko o Qatar Airways a me Emirates Airlines, ua hana lāua ʻelua i nā mega hubs ma ke Kai Kūʻono o Doha a me Dubai. He mea maʻalahi ka manaʻo, ʻo Doha a me Dubai ka mamao like mai ʻAsia a me ʻEulopa, a i loko o ka mōʻaukala pōkole o ka mokulele, ua hoʻomaha ʻia nā wahi i kēlā mau ala. Ua hoʻokumu ʻo Emirates a me Dubai a kūʻai kūleʻa iā lākou iho ma ke ʻano he "waena honua" a no nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua kūleʻa lākou i ka hopu ʻana i kahi hapa nui o nā kaʻa ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika mai nā mea lawe hoʻoilina kahiko i hoʻokumu ʻia ma ʻEulopa a me USA.
Ua komo ʻo Qatar Airways i ka mākeke ma hope liʻiliʻi akā ua kūʻai kūleʻa iā lākou iho ma ke ʻano he "The World's Five-Star Airline," a ʻo kona hub ma Doha he ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma luna o ka "waena honua" o Dubai; ʻAʻole nui ka paʻa o kona kahua mokulele i nā hola kiʻekiʻe. Hiki ke maʻalahi ka manawa kali o Runway takeoff ma Dubai ma mua o ka hapalua hola. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o Doha a ʻoi aku ka pōkole o nā manawa pili.
Ke neʻe kokoke nei ʻo Qatar i 2022, ka makahiki e hoʻokipa ai lākou i ka World Cup, ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Qatar Airways e hoʻomohala wikiwiki, me 250 mau mokulele hou e hoʻouna ʻia i nā makahiki he ʻumi e hiki mai ana. Aia kēia i nā kauoha no ka Dreamliner hou o Boeing. Me ka piʻi ʻana o ka makahiki he 35 pakeneka, ʻike ʻia ka maikaʻi o ka mokulele e hiki mai ana.
Ke kūkulu nei ʻo Qatar i kahi mokulele honua hou, kahi e hoʻomaikaʻi maikaʻi ai ka pilina paʻa ʻole. Ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana e pili ana i kēlā pili ʻo ʻAsia a USA, a ʻoi loa mai koʻu kahua ma Kuala Lumpur, Qatar airways he 17 mau mokulele i ka pule i Doha, a mai laila, hiki i kekahi ke koho i 3 mau wahi ʻAmelika - Houston, New York, a me Washington DC. He liʻiliʻi nā manawa hoʻohui i Doha, a ʻo ka maikaʻi o ke kahua mokulele i hui pū ʻia me kāna lawelawe ʻelima-hōkū, ʻo ia kaʻu koho punahele. ʻO ka pilina pili ʻole i nā mokulele US e hana ʻelima mau manawa i ka pule mai Kuala Lumpur. Ke holo nei nā mokulele US i kēlā me kēia lā mai Doha, a haʻalele ka hapa nui ma waena o 8:00 a me 9:00 am i ke kakahiaka a hōʻea i ke kakahiaka nui o ka lā hoʻokahi.
He mea pono ke hoʻomaopopo ʻia ua koho ʻia ʻo Akbar Al Baker o Qatar Airways i ka Papa Kiaʻāina o ke kino ʻoihana mokulele honua, International Air Transport Association (IATA).
E makaʻala i nā mea lawe hoʻoilina - aia kahi kauoha honua mokulele hou ma waho.
