LONDON (eTN) - Ke hoʻohilahila nei ʻo British Airways i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o kona home hou ʻo Lākana, Heathrow Terminal 5. ʻElua pule ma hope o ka wehe ʻana o ke kikowaena mokuʻāina, ʻaʻole mau nā ʻōnaehana e like me ka mea e pono ai. Hoʻopau a hoʻopaneʻe paha nā huakaʻi hele pōkole.
He kanahiku pākēneka o ka BA o ka honua a me nā lawelawe kūloko i hoʻoili ʻia i Terminal 5, a ua koi ʻia ka mokulele e nānā i kahi hoʻoholo e hoʻololi i nā lawelawe i koe ma hope o kēia mahina.
Ke hoʻomau nei nā mokulele transatlantic BA ma waho o Terminal 4 no ka manawa.
ʻOi aku ma mua o 28,000 mau ukana ʻaʻole i hiki i ko lākou mau wahi, a ua lawe ʻo BA i ka hana maʻamau o ka hoʻouna ʻana ma ke ala i kahi hui ʻelele ma Milan ma Northern Italia no ka hoʻolaha ʻana a puni ʻEulopa. Ua ʻōlelo kekahi ʻōlelo a BA e hana mau ana ka mokulele e hui hou i nā ʻeke me kā lākou mau mea nona.
Mai ka wehe ʻana o Terminal 5 ma ke ʻano he kumu kūʻokoʻa no nā lawelawe ʻo British Airways, ua koi ʻia ka mokulele e kāpae i kahi o 500 mau mokulele. ʻO ka pilikia nui ʻo ia ka hemahema o ka ʻōnaehana lawe ukana kamepiula. Ua hoʻonui ʻia i loko o nā hola ma hope o ka wehe ʻana o ka pahu a ʻaʻole i hoʻi hou i ka lawelawe piha.
"No ka mea ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohana i ka ʻōnaehana automated no ka hana hou ʻana a me ka nānā hou ʻana i nā ʻeke lohi i ka Terminal 5, pono e lawe ʻia nā ʻeke i nā wahi ʻē aʻe ma Heathrow a i ʻole kokoke i Heathrow e nānā hou ʻia me ka lima ma mua o ka hoʻihoʻi ʻia ʻana e hoʻouka ʻia ma nā mokulele. i ko lakou mau wahi. ʻO kēia kaʻina hana he manawa nui loa, "wahi a kahi haʻi'ōlelo BA.
Eia kekahi, ua hāʻule kekahi mau mea hoʻokiʻekiʻe a ua lohi nā limahana o ke kahua mokulele i ko lākou mau keʻena hana ma muli o nā hemahema o nā lako nānā palekana pilikino. Ua haʻalele ka mea hoʻokele mokulele i kahi hoʻolālā e paʻi manamana lima i kēlā me kēia kanaka e komo ana i ke kikowaena hou, ʻoiai ʻo ia ka mea ma muli o nā kūʻē e pili ana i ka pilikino.
Ua waiho ʻia nā haneli haneli e hoʻohana ana i ka Terminal 5 i kāna lā mua o ka hana e hiamoe i ka pō ma ke kahua mokulele no ka mea ua piha nā hōkele.
ʻO ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā lawelawe ma Terminal 5 ua manaʻo ʻia he kumukūʻai ʻo British Airways £ 16m (US$32m) i nā ʻoihana nalowale, akā ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hopena lōʻihi o nā hemahema. Ke hoʻohilahila nui nei ka haunaele i ka mokulele a me ka hana mokulele, ʻo ka British Airport Authority nona ka Spanish.
Ua ʻae ʻo ke poʻo o British Airways ʻo Willie Walsh he "pōʻino" ka lā mua o Terminal 5, a ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua hōʻeha loa ʻo ia ʻaʻole i kūleʻa ʻia. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kuhina Aviation UK ʻo Jim Fitzpatrick, ʻo ke kikowaena hou, i kūkulu ʻia ma ke kumukūʻai o £ 4.3billion (US $ 8.6 biliona) ua hāʻule maikaʻi loa i nā mea i manaʻo ʻia, a ua loaʻa nā poʻe kaʻa i kahi ʻike huakaʻi maikaʻi ʻole.
I nā lā aʻe, ua nui nā kala mai ka mokulele a me ka mea hoʻokele mokulele no ka hoʻomau ʻana i nā pilikia a me nā lohi ma Terminal 5.
Ua wikiwiki ka poʻe hoʻokūkū o BA i ke kūlana. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Virgin Atlantic, ua hoʻololi nā haneli o nā mea kūʻai aku i kā lākou lawelawe lōʻihi e holo ana ma waho o Terminal 3 ma Heathrow. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo BMI i kā lākou mau lawelawe ma Terminal 1 e hoʻomau i ka holo pono, a me nā lawelawe ea premium e like me SilverJet e hana ana mai ke kahua mokulele ʻo London Luton ua ʻike i ka piʻi ʻana o ke kaʻa i ka wā i hoʻololi ai nā poʻe kaʻa mua o BA i kā lākou mau mokulele e pale aku i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka Terminal 5 ma Heathrow.
ʻAʻole maikaʻi ka wehe ʻana o ke kikowaena hou no nā hanana ʻelua i ka wā e hiki mai ana ma ka mokulele: ʻo ka Open Skies aelike i hoʻokō ʻia a wehe i nā ala transatlantic i nā mokulele āpau, a me nā hoʻolālā no ka hoʻonui hou ʻana o London Heathrow me ke kolu o ke alahele. he ono o ka pahu. Ke kū nei nā hanana ʻelua i ke kūʻē ikaika mai nā lobbyists kaiapuni i loaʻa ka ikaika mai ka haunaele, a hōʻike ʻia ua hiki ʻo Heathrow i kāna palena o ka hana.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- “Because we are unable to use the automated system for reprocessing and re-screening delayed bags in Terminal 5, bags are having to be transported to other sites at or near Heathrow to be re-screened manually before being brought back to be loaded on flights to their destinations.
- BMI said their services at Terminal 1 continued to run efficiently, and premium air services such as SilverJet operating from London Luton airport has seen a surge in traffic as BA first class passengers switched their flights to avoid using Terminal 5 at Heathrow.
- The disruption to services at Terminal 5 are estimated to have cost British Airways £16m (US$32m) in lost business, but the longer term effect of the failings could be even greater.
