I-South African Airways (SAA) ibe yenye yeenkampani zeenqwelomoya ezimbalwa kakhulu zehlabathi ukugcina inqanaba lesi-2 leNkqubo yoVavanyo lweNdalo ye-IATA (IEnvA).
IEnvA is a comprehensive airline environmental management process that measures a range of operational aspects. According to Tim Clyde-Smith, SAA’s Country Manager, Australasia, the IATA program introduced sustainability standards for airlines to cover all areas of operation to help them achieve world’s best practice.
“I-SAA iphumelele iNqanaba lesi-2 kweyoMqungu ka-2015 kwaye siyavuya ukuthi sigcine eli nqanaba liphezulu, nto leyo esenze sibe ngomnye weenqwelomoya ezimbalwa zehlabathi eziphumeleleyo kwesi sikhundla,” utshilo uTim.
“Imigangatho ephambili enegalelo kwesi simo ibandakanya umgangatho womoya kunye nokukhutshwa kwezinto ezikhutshwayo, ingxolo yenqwelomoya, ukusetyenziswa kwamafutha kunye nokusebenza ngokufanelekileyo, ukurisayikilishwa, ukonga amandla, ukuthenga okuzinzileyo, i-biofuels nezinye ezininzi. I-SAA yayiyenye yeenkampani zomoya ezininzi ezathatha inxaxheba kwiNqanaba loku-1 lenkqubo eyaqala ngoJuni ka-2013,” utshilo.
“Uvavanyo lweNqanaba lesi-2 lweSAA lwaqhutywa ngoDisemba ka-2016 kwaye lwabonisa ukuba ulawulo lwendalo esingqongileyo olunenkathalo lunakho ukunikezela ngorhwebo olungaphaya kwenzuzo ecacileyo yentlalo nendalo esingqongileyo ngeeprojekthi ezifana nephulo lethu le-biofuels yecuba, ukuqaliswa kweendlela zokulawula ukonga kwamafutha, kunye nephulo eliqhubekayo. ukuzinzisa inkcubeko yozinzo lwemekobume.”
“I-IEnvA yinkqubo yovavanyo engqongqo esekelwe kwiinkqubo ezaziwayo zamazwe ngamazwe zolawulo lokusingqongileyo ezifana ne-ISO 14001. Iphuhliswe ngokudibeneyo ziinkampani zeenqwelomoya ezikhokelayo kunye nabacebisi bendalo kwaye i-SAA ibe yinxalenye yale nkqubo ukusuka ekuqaleni,” utshilo. “Sikunye nendlela yethu yokulawula ukonga amafutha, i-SAA inomsebenzi wangaphakathi wokudala umoya wozinzo ukuze sikwazi ukucutha izinto ezikhutshwayo naphi na apho sisebenza khona. Ukufikelela esi siganeko sibalulekileyo yimbonakaliso ebonakalayo yemigudu yethu.” Wagqiba uTim.
