Nui nā mokulele e lele ana i Jomo Kenyatta International Airport i hoʻolimalima i nā ʻoihana palekana pilikino e kiaʻi i nā poʻe holo kaʻa, ka ukana a me nā mokulele ma mua o ka hilinaʻi ʻana i ka Kenya Airports Authority a i ʻole nā mākaʻi kūloko no ka pale.
ʻOiai ua ʻōlelo nā luna o ʻAmelika a me Kenyan ʻaʻohe hoʻoweliweli koke o ka hoʻoweliweli i ke kahua mokulele a i ʻole nā mokulele e hana ana ma laila, ua hoʻopiʻi nā mea i hana mua ʻia.
Ua paʻi ʻia ʻo Kenya me ʻekolu mau mea hoʻoweliweli nui i nā makahiki he 11 i hala. Ua hoʻopaʻa ka poʻe hana Al-qaeda i ka US Embassy i ka makahiki 1998, a make ma mua o 200 mau kānaka. I ka makahiki 2002, ua pahū ka pōkā kaʻa ma kahi hōkele kahakai i hele pinepine ʻia e ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ʻIseraʻela, a make 15 mau kānaka. Ma kahi kokoke i ka manawa like, ua hoʻāʻo nā mea hoʻoweliweli e pana i kahi mokulele hoʻolimalima e lawe ana i nā mākaʻikaʻi ʻIseraʻela me kahi pahi kaua poʻohiwi.
Ua hoʻāla hou ʻia ka nīnau no ka palekana ma ke kahua mokulele ʻo Nairobi i ka mahina i hala i ka wā i hoʻopau koke ai ʻo Delta Air Lines i kahi mokulele hoʻomaka mai Atlanta a hiki i Nairobi ma hope o ka ʻae ʻana o ka Transportation Security Administration e ʻae i ke ala.
Ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe loea mokulele he mea maʻamau nā kiaʻi palekana mokulele pilikino i nā wahi kaua a puni ka honua, akā kakaikahi i nā lāhui paʻa e like me Kenya. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo Kenya Airways kekahi o ka poʻe e hoʻohana ana i kahi ʻoihana palekana pilikino ma ke kahua mokulele ʻo Nairobi.
"Ua hana mākou ma muli o ka manaʻo ʻaʻole mākou e manaʻoʻiʻo ua lawa ka palekana i loaʻa iā mākou ma waho o ke kahua mokulele," i haʻi aku ai ʻo Titus Naikuni, ka luna hoʻokele hui o Kenya Airways, i ka The Associated Press.
"ʻAʻole ia he mea kūʻokoʻa iā Kenya. ʻOiai ma waho o Kenya, ua hana ka poʻe i kēlā, "wahi a Naikuni. "ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke haʻalele i kēlā mea i kahi palekana ʻaoʻao ʻekolu."
Ua hōʻole ʻo Kenya Airports Authority, kahi hui aupuni kūʻokoʻa e hoʻokele ana i nā mokulele o ka ʻāina.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Naikuni ʻaʻole nele paha nā pūʻali Kenyan i ka uhi palekana, akā maikaʻi lākou i ka ʻohi ʻike. “Hāʻawi lākou iā mākou i ka ʻike, akā naʻe i kekahi manawa ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke kaʻana like i kēlā ʻike no ka mea huna. Akā ʻike nui lākou, "wahi a Naikuni.
Ma Iune 2, ua kāpae ʻo Delta Air Lines i kāna lele mua ʻana mai Atlanta a i Nairobi ma hope o kahi kauoha hope loa mai ka Transportation Security Administration Division o ka US Homeland Security Department.
Wahi a kekahi luna o ka TSA i ʻōlelo ma ke ʻano o ka inoa ʻole no ka mea ʻaʻole i ʻae ʻia ka luna e kamaʻilio ākea e pili ana i kēia mea, ua kūʻai aku ʻo Delta i nā tiketi no ka lele me ka ʻae ʻole ʻia no ke ala mai ke aupuni.
ʻAʻole i loaʻa iā Delta ka hele mua no nā kumu he nui, me ka loiloi palekana o ke kahua mokulele a me kahi ʻaelike me Kenya no ka pale ʻana i nā mea hoʻoweliweli, wahi a ka luna. ʻAʻole hāʻawi ka luna i nā kikoʻī ʻē aʻe.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka waha ʻōlelo Delta ʻo Susan Elliott, ua hahai lōʻihi ka mokulele i ka hana ʻoihana i ʻae ʻia e hoʻolaha a kūʻai aku i ka lawelawe e kali ana i nā ʻae aupuni.
"ʻO kahi hoʻoholo hope loa a TSA e hōʻole i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka lawelawe iā Nairobi a me Monrovia he kūlana ʻokoʻa loa i hiki ʻole ma mua," wahi a Elliott. "Ua kala aku ʻo Delta i nā mea kūʻai aku i hoʻopilikia ʻia e kēia hoʻopau ʻole ʻia."
ʻO kahi luna o ka Moku'āinaʻo Moku'āina, nāna i'ōlelo ma keʻano o ka inoaʻole no ka meaʻaʻole iʻaeʻia ka luna e kamaʻilio i ka pāpāho, ua'ōleloʻo ka hoʻopauʻana e pili ana i kahi'ōlelo aʻo huakaʻi hele o Nov.
ʻO ka ʻōlelo aʻo he mea maʻamau e pili ana i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o 2002 e pana i ka mokulele hoʻolimalima, wahi a ka luna, me ka hoʻohui ʻana ʻaʻohe mea hoʻoweliweli kūikawā i ka lele Delta.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Steve Lott, ka ʻōlelo a ka International Air Transport Association, ua manaʻo nā mokulele e lawe nā aupuni i ke kuleana no ka palekana a me ka palekana o nā mokulele. Ua hoʻohana ka ʻoihana mokulele i $ 5.9 biliona i ka makahiki i hala e hoʻokō i nā kaʻina hana aupuni e hōʻoia i ka palekana a me ka palekana ma nā mokulele, wahi a Lott, nona ka hui e hōʻike ana i nā mokulele 230 a puni ka honua.
"ʻAʻole ia he mea maʻamau no nā mokulele a puni ka honua e hoʻolimalima i nā pūʻali palekana pilikino ma kēlā me kēia mokulele a lākou e lawelawe ai," wahi a Lott. "ʻO ia ke kumu e hilinaʻi nei mākou i nā kumuwaiwai aupuni a me ka nānā ʻana e hāʻawi i ka palekana no kahi mokulele kūlanakauhale."
He kuleana nui ko Jomo Kenyatta International Airport i ka ʻoihana a me nā hoʻolālā mākaʻikaʻi o Kenya. Ke holo nei kekahi mau mokulele honua mai ia mea; me Air India, British Airways, Emirates, KLM, Qatar Airways, Saudi Arabian Airlines, South Africa Airways, Swiss International Air Lines a me Virgin Atlantic.
Ua piʻi aʻe ka nui o nā poʻe e hele ana ma ke kahua mokulele ma kahi o 4.86 miliona i ka makahiki 2007 mai ka 3.45 miliona i ka makahiki 2003, e like me ka noiʻi hoʻokele waiwai aupuni.
ʻO Kenya kahi wahi mākaʻikaʻi kiʻekiʻe ma ʻApelika, no ka mea hiki i nā malihini ke ʻike i nā holoholona hihiu i kona wahi kūlohelohe a hauʻoli i nā mile o nā kahakai one keʻokeʻo. I ka makahiki i hala, 1.2 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi i kipa aku i ka ʻāina.
ʻO Kenya kahi ʻoihana waiwai a me ka diplomatic no ka hikina o ʻApelika. Nui nā poʻe ʻoihana, nā diplomats a me nā limahana kōkua e hele ma kāna kahua mokulele nui. ʻO Nairobi ke keʻena poʻokela o ʻApelika no nā mea hoʻopukapuka nui e like me Atlanta-based Coca Cola Co. ʻO ia hoʻi ka mea hoʻokipa i ke keʻena nui o United Nations ma ʻApelika.
ʻO ka mea kākau moʻolelo ʻo Associated Press Airlines ʻo Harry Weber ma Atlanta a me nā mea kākau ʻo Associated Press ʻo Matthew Lee lāua ʻo Eileen Sullivan ma Wakinekona i hāʻawi i kēia hōʻike.
