Kāhāhā mau ʻo COVID-19: ʻaʻole nā ​​wīwī i kahi pōā kālā

I ka makahiki 2019, ʻo kā mākou makahiki benchmark no ka huakaʻi ma mua o COVID, ʻo ka Middle East ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa loa o ka nui o ka ea o ka home, hoʻokahi wale nō i ʻelima mau noho i hāʻawi ʻia i ka makahiki alemanaka i wehewehe ʻia he lele kūloko. Hoʻohālikelike kēia i ka awelika honua o 59% a me nā mākeke e like me North East Asia a me ʻAmelika ʻĀkau a me ʻAmelika Hema kahi i ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hana kūloko ma mua o ʻekolu hapaha o ka waihona mokulele ma 2019.

No kekahi mau mākeke koʻikoʻi, ʻaʻohe mea pili i ka lewa kūloko e kākoʻo i ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana aʻo ke kau ʻana o nā palena huakaʻi honua.

ʻO ka hilinaʻi ʻana i nā kahe kūloko ʻaʻole ia he koho no nā mākeke e like me Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanona a me Qatar, ʻoiai ma nā United Arab Emirates (UAE) nā mokulele ʻāina ma lalo o 0.1% o nā papa manawa. No nā mokulele i nā mākeke e like me Iran a me Saudi Arabia he moʻolelo ʻokoʻa ia, a hiki iā lākou ke nānā maikaʻi e hoʻonui i ka hana ma kā lākou mau mākeke kūloko ikaika e lawe mai i nā kālā i makemake nui ʻia i kā lākou ʻoihana.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ke hōʻike nei ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana o ka home ma Saudi Arabia i nā hōʻailona maikaʻi, ma ka ʻōlelo pinepine.

Hōʻike ka hōʻike ʻana o CAPA i ka piʻi ʻana o nā alapine kūloko i kēlā me kēia pule ma ke Aupuni ma kahi o 3,000 pae haʻalele. Ma nā mahina mua ʻelua o 2021 i hōʻike ʻia ma kahi o -23% ka emi ʻana ma ka manawa like ma 2020 ma mua o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o COVID i ka wahi.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua haʻi mai ʻo Flyadeal CEO Con Korfiatis iaʻu i ka mahina i hala ma kahi ninaninau CAPA Live kūʻokoʻa e hāʻawi ana ka LCC i nā papa manawa me nā alapine he 10% haʻahaʻa ma mua o kēia manawa i ka makahiki i hala. Ua wehewehe ʻo ia i ka "makemake nui loa no ka huakaʻi home" a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi kūloko i hāʻawi ʻia i ka poʻe ʻaʻole hiki ke hele i ka honua. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i nānā i ka nīnauele, a laila hiki iā ʻoe ke komo ma ke noi ma o ka CAPA Live platform.

ʻOiai ke hōʻike nei kēia ʻike Saudi Arabia i nā mea maikaʻi i nā mākeke kūloko, ʻo ke kaomi ʻana mai nā palena huakaʻi hele honua e hōʻeha nui nei i nā mokulele mokulele Middle East. Hōʻike ka ʻikepili IATA hou no Jan-2021 i ka hāʻule ʻana o nā kaʻa kaʻa ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā pae pre-COVID (versus Jan-2019) a hoʻohālikelike ʻia i ka mahina ma mua (Dec-2020).

Ua emi iho ka nui o ka noi honua ma Jan-2021 (ana ʻia ma RPK) -72.0% i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me Jan-2019. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka -69.7% ka emi ʻana o ka makahiki ma mua o ka makahiki i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma Dec-2020. Ua emi iho ka noi kūloko -47.4% kūʻē i nā pae pre-crisis (Jan-2019) a me ka hana -42.9% makahiki-ma-makahiki ma Dec-2020. ʻO ka noi honua ma Ianuali he -85.6% ma lalo o Ianuali 2019, kahi hāʻule hou aʻe i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka -85.3% ka emi ʻana i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma Dec-2020.

Ma ka ʻōlelo a ka luna nui o IATA ʻo Alexandre de Juniac, hōʻike ka ʻikepili "e hoʻomaka ana ka 2021 ma mua o ka pau ʻana o 2020". Ma ka Middle East, ʻike nā mokulele i ka piʻi ʻana o ka noi -82.3% i Ianuali i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me Jan-2019. ʻAʻole i loli nui kēia mai kahi hāʻule koi -82.6% i Dec-2020 ma mua o ka makahiki i hala. Ua hāʻule ka mana i ʻelua hapakolu, i lalo -67.6%, a ua hōʻole ka mea hoʻouka i 33.9 pakeneka i ka 40.8%.

ʻO ka ʻōlelo ʻana ʻaʻole i hoʻomaka maikaʻi ʻo 2021 i ka Middle East, ʻoiaʻiʻo ka honua, he haʻahaʻa. Ke piʻi aʻe nei nā manaʻo kālā no ka makahiki ʻoiai ke hoʻopaʻa nei nā aupuni i nā palena huakaʻi a ua ʻōlelo ʻo IATA e puhi ka ʻoihana ma o USD75 a i USD95 biliona kālā i kēia makahiki, ma mua o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke kālā maikaʻi i ka hapahā ʻehā, e like me ka manaʻo ma mua.

No ka lele ʻana o ke ao holoʻokoʻa, pono ʻelua i ka tango a ʻo ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana o ka pilina Middle East e hilinaʻi nei i ke kūʻokoʻa o nā neʻe mai waho aku.

ʻO ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā papa hana honua i nā mahina ʻelua o 2021 me nā manawa like i 2019 a me 2020 e hōʻike ana i ka hohonu o ka chasm. Ua emi iho ka nui o ka lele lele honua ma loko a mai ka Hikina Hikina ma kahi o ʻelua hapakolu, i lalo -65.0% versus 2020 a iho i lalo -63.8% versus 2019. Ma kahi ʻāina ʻo Iran wale nō, Lebanona a me Qatar i hoʻihoʻi i ka hapalua o ka mana i loaʻa iā lākou i ka wā o ka ʻelua mahina mua o ka makahiki i hala.

ʻO ka mea e mahalo ai, ʻoiai ua hoʻopilikia nui ʻia nā mākeke nui loa o ka ʻāina e nā palena huakaʻi honua a me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ka koi, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o lākou ma mua o nā mākeke honua nui ʻē aʻe. Nawaliwali ka hana, ʻae, akā ʻoi aku ka nui o ke koko o kekahi.

ʻO ka pule i hala aku nei, ua hoʻopau ka lima huakaʻi hui o CAPA, CTC - Corporate Travel Community i kekahi loiloi kūloko o nā mākeke ʻāina nui loa o ka honua, e hoʻohālikelike ana i nā papa manawa no Feb-2021 me Feb-2019. Ua hōʻike ʻia ua piʻi nā ʻāina o ka ʻāina i ka pae honua. Ua piʻi aʻe ʻo Qatar mai ka 25th mākeke honua nui loa ma Feb-2019 a i ka 7th nui loa i Feb-2021, ua piʻi ʻo Saudi Arabia mai 25th a 13th, aʻo United Arab Emirates i piʻi mai ka 6th a i ka 2nd wahi.

Ke ʻike nei mākou e hoʻomau nei ʻo COVID-19 i kahi aka nui ma luna o ka huakaʻi ea. E laʻana iā Kuwait.

He ʻāina kēia me ka ʻole o ka ʻoihana lewa kūloko a ma kahi o nā hana draconian e hakakā ai i ka hoʻouna ʻana i ka coronavirus, ua paʻakikī ʻo ia me nā helu maʻi kiʻekiʻe o ka miliona mau kānaka. Ua loaʻa i ka pane mua o Kuwait ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana mai ka World Health Organization, akā ʻo kona ʻano like ʻole o ka ʻāina a me ka pilikanaka, a me nā hemahema i ka hoʻolālā ʻana o ke kūlanakauhale, ka hoʻokele a me nā kulekele, ʻaʻole i loaʻa i ka maʻi maʻi.

Ke piʻi nei nā hihia o COVID-19 ma Kuwait i nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe, ma mua o hoʻokahi makahiki mai ka wā i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai kāna mau hihia mua a i kēia manawa ua ʻoi aku ma mua o 196,000 mau hihia i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ka ʻāina, ʻoiai ua pōmaikaʻi nā mea make. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā palena huakaʻi paʻakikī, akā ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kēia mau mea, e hoʻopilikia hou ana i nā mea lawe mokulele o ka ʻāina - Kuwait Airways, a me Jazeera Airways.

Ua lele lele ʻo Jazeera Airways ma mua o ka hiki ʻana mai o COVID. Ke hoʻokomo nei i kāna kikowaena ma Kuwait International Airport, a me nā ʻauwaʻa mokulele hou e lawelawe ana i kahi pūnaewele i hoʻonui ʻia, e hōʻike ana i kahi koho kaulana no nā huakaʻi.

I ʻOkakopa-2019 ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia i nā mokulele i Lākana, e hoʻopau ana i kahi duopoly British Airways a me Kuwait Airways ʻO kāna lawelawe iā London Gatwick i hōʻike i kahi mea nui i ka mākeke kūlanakauhale ʻaʻole i ʻike i kahi mea komo hou ma mua o 50 mau makahiki. Ma mua o kona hōʻea ʻana, ua hāʻawi ʻo Kuwait Airways a me British Airways i nā pae paʻa o ka hiki ma waena o Kuwait City a me Lākana, ʻoiai ua hoʻohui ka mea mua i ʻekolu mau hoʻololi i kēlā me kēia pule i ke kauwela 2019 ma mua o ke komo ʻana o Jazeera i ka mākeke.

ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe, ua hāʻawi ʻia ka ulu ʻana o Jazeera me ka hoʻomau a me ka loaʻa kālā - e ʻōlelo kekahi he mea hiki ʻole i ka ʻoihana mokulele. Akā ʻike ʻia ka hopena o COVID i kēia manawa.

I nā pule i hala iho nei, ua hoʻolaha ka mokulele i kāna mau hopena 2020 a me kahi poho o KWD26.4 miliona Kuwaiti dinar (ʻo ia ma kahi o USD87 miliona), kahi poho hana o KWD20.7 miliona me ka loaʻa kālā o ka makahiki e emi ana i KWD41.4 miliona. I ka makahiki i hala, ua hoʻopaʻa ka mokulele i ka loaʻa kālā he KWD14.9 miliona, he kālā hana o KWD14.2 miliona a loaʻa nā kālā ma mua o KWD103 miliona.

I kēia manawa, ua hōʻailona ʻo Kuwait Airways i kahi milestone koʻikoʻi i ka makahiki i hala, ʻaʻole wale ma Kuwait, akā ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, e loaʻa ana nā A330-800s mua mai Airbus… ʻoiai ʻelua o lākou. ʻO ka mokulele kekahi ʻāpana o kahi kauoha no ʻewalu o ke ʻano, e hoʻopili ana i nā ʻenekini Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 hou loa, me nā hoʻomaikaʻi aerodynamic lehulehu e hāʻawi i kahi mokulele ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o kāna mau mana kahiko.

Ma ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana o Kuwait Airways, hiki i ka A330-800neo ke hoʻokipa i 235 mau kaʻa, e hōʻike ana i 32 mau moena piha piha i ka papa ʻoihana a me nā noho 203 ma Economy me ka hāʻawi ʻana i kahi paʻa ukana nui e hiki ai ke hoʻokipa i nā haʻawina ukana i hāʻawi ʻia ma kēia ʻāpana o ka honua. ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka noho ʻo Collins Aerospace Super Diamond i loko o ka hale ʻoihana ʻoihana ʻaʻole ia he mea hou - ua hāʻawi mua ʻia ka noho e ka lehulehu o nā mokulele ʻē aʻe - akā ke hōʻike nei i kahi hoʻonui huahana kaulana no ka mea lawe. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, hōʻike ia i kahi makana i hoʻonui ʻia ma mua o ka mea i hoʻokomo ʻia ma kāna mau ʻauwaʻa 777 e lawelawe ana i nā ala hae o ka mokulele.
