Uma kuzoba nomkhakha othintekayo enkingeni yezomnotho obangelwe ukwanda kwe-coronavirus, lokho akuyona enye ngaphandle kwezokuvakasha. Iyona ethinteke kakhulu futhi izolulama kamuva, njengoba abahlaziyi abaningi bezezimali bekhombisa. Hhayi ngeze, i ukugeleza kwezivakashi emhlabeni wonke uzokwehliselwa emazingeni angabonakali emashumini eminyaka amuva nje. Futhi njengomphumela walo mkhuba, kuzobonakala ekulinganisweni kwezinkampani ezibalulwe ezimakethe zezimali. Amahhotela, izintambo zezindiza, izikhungo zokubhuka noma amabhizinisi axhumene nokuzilibazisa azoba ngabaphulamthetho ababi kakhulu kulesi simo esisha esifinyelele ezimakethe zezimali.
Kunoma ikuphi, kusuka enkampanini yabeluleki i-Deloitte banethemba elikhulu, yize belinganisela ukuthi kuzoba nokutholakala ngokuphelele komkhakha wezokuvakasha ngonyaka ka-2021. Lapho kuqinisekiswa ukuthi kulindeleke ukuthi kusukela engxenyeni yesibili kaMeyi, ukuhamba namahhotela kuzobamba phezulu, ngenkathi ukuhlukaniswa kuphela. Kunoma ikuphi, lona umkhakha osemakethe yamasheya oye wehlisa inani labo kusukela ngeviki lokuqala likaMashi, nini cishe ama-50% ngokwesilinganiso kuzo zonke izinkampani ezakha imakethe eqhubekayo yezwe lethu. Ngokufinyelela amanani abukeka engacabangi emasontweni ambalwa edlule. Kwezinye izimo ezinengxenye engaphezu kwengxenye yentengo yesabelo ekupheleni kuka-2019.
Akuzange kube khona okuhlukile kulokhu iwela mpo ezimakethe zokulingana. Hhayi ezimakethe zasekhaya noma ngaphandle kwemingcele yethu. Igciwane le-damn selithathe yonke into. Ngaphandle kokuthi ukuzinza okuthile sekuqalile ukuqashelwa ngentengo yamasheya ayo. Kepha lokho nganoma yisiphi isikhathi kungasiguqula lesi simo futhi kubuyele emuva kumazinga aphansi omlando kusuka emazingeni amanje. Kungumkhakha othinteke kakhulu kule nkinga yodlame ongakasho izwi lawo lokugcina. Hhayi kancane, kunjalo. Ngoba empeleni, kuzofanele sazi ngokuvela kwezimakethe zezimali kusukela manje kuqhubeke.
IAG kuma-euro amabili
Esinye sezizathu zokukhathazeka ohlangothini lwabatshalizimali abancane naphakathi yilokho okungenzeka kusukela manje kuqhubeke nge-IAG. Ngoba akunakuphikwa ukuthi ngisho nenkampani yenziwa yaba yizwe futhi lapho kwenzeka imiphumela kubasebenzisi bezimakethe zamasheya ingaba mikhulu kakhulu. Kuze kube seqophelweni lokuthi kungenqatshelwe ukuthi iyeke ukubalwa ezimakethe zamasheya. Ngalesi sizathu akumangazi ukuthi ingcindezi yokuthengisa eqinile lokho kwenzeka maqondana nokuthenga. Yize kukhombisa ukulinganisela okuncintisana kakhulu emakethe yamasheya ezingeni lentengo yamanje. Ngokushiya icala lama-euro ayisithupha kwisabelo ngasinye endleleni futhi ube sebangeni lama-euro amabili. Intengo engakaze ibonwe iminyaka eminingi, eminingi.
Ngenkathi ngakolunye uhlangothi, ungakhohlwa ukuthi umsebenzi wakho umisiwe njengamanje. Ngokuncishiswa nokumiswa kwemizila eminingana, kuzwelonke nakwamanye amazwe. Futhi ekugcineni kuzokwenzeka kuthinta isitatimende sakho semali engenayo, okungenani maqondana nekota yesibili neyesithathu yalo nyaka. Ngokulindelwa kwamaphethelo okungaba yinhlekelele emkhakheni futhi lokho kungavula indlela yokuwa okusha nokunamandla ezimakethe zezimali. Esontweni, njengeSanta, okuzobe kungasebenzi kakhulu kule nkampani yezindiza. Ngaphandle kolunye uchungechunge lokucatshangelwa kusuka ekubukeni kwebhizinisi.
Amahhotela aphansi aphansi
Izindawo zokuhlala kuye kwadingeka zilenga uphawu “oluvaliwe” kulezi zinsuku ezinzima lapho bekuyisikhathi esihle kakhulu sokuphakamisa izitatimende zabo zeholo. Kokubili maqondana nengxenye yebhizinisi nengxenye yeholide noma yelanga neyolwandle. Kuzona zozimbili lezi zimo, basesimweni esibucayi kakhulu esizobonakala kakhulu ekulinganisweni kwamanani abo. Mayelana nokulingana kwezwe lethu, ayizindinganiso ezifana I-Sol Meliá noma i-NH Hotels lokho kubonakala ngaphansi kwengcindezi eqinile yokuthengisa nalapho kungekho khona inzalo yokuthenga kanye. Hhayi nje kuphela ngenxa yokwanda kwe-coronavirus kepha nangenxa yalokho okuzokuza kamuva. Ukuba ngomunye wemikhakha okufanele uyigweme kulezi zinsuku ezibucayi kubo bonke abatshalizimali.
Okunye okufanele kubhekwe emkhakheni wezokuvakasha iqiniso lokuthi liyingxenye ehlobene kakhulu nemijikelezo yezomnotho. Futhi-ke, ukusebenza kwayo kubi kakhulu ezimweni zokwehla kwamandla emali njengoba abatshalizimali befuna imikhakha evikela lokho nikeza indawo yokuhlala ukwenza inhlokodolobha yakho itholakale emakethe yamasheya ibe nenzuzo. Kanye nenketho yokukhomba ezinye izimpahla zezimali eziphephe kakhulu, njengezinto zokusetshenziswa ezifanele kakhulu ngalesi sikhathi. Lapho kumayelana nokuvikela imali phezu kolunye uchungechunge lwamasu anolaka kakhulu. Akumangalisi ukuthi, asikwazi ukukhohlwa ukuthi sibhekene nezindawo ezingahloliwe zabo bonke abatshalizimali.
Ngalesi simo, into enengqondo ukungabikho kulawa magugu ngoba kuncane kakhulu esingakuthola ngalesi sikhathi esiqondile, futhi ngokuphambene nalokho, sishiyele ama-euro amaningi okushaya ikati. Kuzoba nesikhathi sokushintsha umqondo futhi mhlawumbe sizithole sinamanani aqine kakhulu kunalawo acashunwe okwamanje.
Ukwehliswa emizileni
Ukusabalala okusheshayo kwe-COVID-19, kanye nezixwayiso zikahulumeni ezihambisana nemikhawulo yezokuvakasha, kunomthelela omkhulu futhi owandayo omubi ekufunweni kwezindiza zomhlaba wonke cishe kuyo yonke imizila eqhutshwa izindiza ze-IAG. Kuze kube manje, i-IAG inayo kumiswe izindiza zayo eziya eChina, kunciphise umthamo emizileni eya e-Asia, kukhanseliwe konke ukusebenza kwayo kuya, kusuka nangaphakathi kwe-Italy, ngaphezu kokwenza izinguquko ezahlukahlukene kunethiwekhi yethu.
Isimemezelo sikamongameli waseMelika esivimbela ukungena kwabantu bakwamanye amazwe abebeye emazweni asendaweni yaseSchengen, i-United Kingdom kanye ne-Ireland, sikhulise ukungaqiniseki emizileni yeNorth Atlantic. Ngokulandelayo, amanye amazwe amaningi avimbele noma avimbela ukuhamba kulezi zindawo ezibandakanya i-Argentina, iChile, iNdiya nePeru. ISpain ibuye yaba ngendaba yezeluleko ngezokuvakasha, ngokwesibonelo ezivela e-UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) yase-UK.
IAG isebenzisa imikhankaso eyengeziwe ukuhlangabezana nalesi simo semakethe esiyinselele. Amandla, ngokwamakhilomitha ezihlalo akhona, kwikota yokuqala ka-2020 kulindeleke ukuthi yehle cishe ngo-7,5% uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka odlule. Ngo-Ephreli nangoMeyi, iqembu lihlela ukwehlisa umthamo okungenani ngama-75% uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi esifanayo ngo-2019.
Izindleko zokusebenza ezingaphansi
IAG futhi uthatha izinyathelo ukuze ukunciphisa izindleko zokusebenza nokwenza ngcono ukungena kwemali. Lokhu kubandakanya ukufaka izindiza ngokweqile, ukunciphisa nokubeka phambili izimali, ukunciphisa izindleko ze-IT ezingadingekile kanye nezindleko ezingahlobene nohlelo lokuphepha kwe-cyber, ukuqanda ukuqasha nokusetshenziswa kwemali ngokuzikhethela, ukusebenzisa izinketho zamaholide ezingakhokhelwa ngokuzithandela, ukumisa okwesikhashana izinkontileka zomsebenzi nokunciphisa amahora okusebenza. Ngenxa yokungaqiniseki okuqhubekayo mayelana nomthelela ongaba khona nobude be-COVID-19, okwamanje akukwazeki ukunikeza inkomba efanelekile yokubukwa kwenzuzo yango-2020.
Iqembu linendawo eqinile yokuthola ukheshi onemali, izimpahla eziketshezi ezilinganayo namadiphozithi akhokhelwayo angama-euro ayizigidi ezingama-7.350 kusukela ngoMashi 12, 2020. Ngaphezu kwalokho, imigqa yesikweletu ejwayelekile kanye nokuzibophezela eqinisekiswe yibhanoyi lifinyelela kuma-euro ayizigidi eziyi-1.900, okuholela ekutheni isamba semali esiphelele sama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-9.300. UWillie Walsh, oyi-CEO ye-IAG, uthe: “Sibonile ukwehla okukhulu kokubhukha ezinkampanini zethu zezindiza nakunethiwekhi yomhlaba wonke emasontweni adlule futhi silindele ukuthi isidingo sizohlala sibuthakathaka kuze kube sehlobo. Ngakho-ke, senza ukuncipha okukhulu ezinhlelweni zethu zezindiza. Sizoqhubeka nokuqapha amazinga okudingeka futhi sibe nokuguquguquka kokwenza okunye ukusikeka uma kunesidingo. Sithatha nezinyathelo zokunciphisa izindleko zokusebenza nokwenza ngcono ukungena kwemali ezinkampanini zethu zonke. IAG uyakwazi ukubekezelela ishidi ibhalansi eqinile futhi ukheshi omkhulu wemali.
Ngenxa yezimo ezehlukile ezibhekene nomkhakha wezindiza ngenxa ye-COVID-19, futhi ikakhulukazi ukuvela kwesimo eSpain, kunqunywe ukuthi uLuis Gallego uzoqhubeka esikhundleni sakhe njenge-CEO ye-Iberia ezinyangeni ezizayo ukuhola impendulo eSpain. Ngokulandelayo, uWillie Walsh uzoqhubeka esikhundleni sakhe njenge-CEO yeQembu kanti uJavier Sánchez Prieto uzohlala esikhundleni sokuba yi-CEO yeVueling.
