Ndege zamabizinesi onse zimanyamuka ngakhale zidalephera kale

Monga oyenda bizinesi ena, nyenyezi ya nyimbo ya bluegrass Alison Krauss ndi gulu lake adakanthidwa ndi zithumwa za ndege zonse zamalonda.

"Ntchito ndi chakudya ndizodabwitsa, ndipo mipando ndi yabwino," akutero woyang'anira alendo David Norman, yemwe adakwera mwezi uno ndi oimba pa Silverjet kuchokera ku Newark kupita ku London kukayambitsa ulendo wa ku Ulaya ndi woimba wakale wa Led Zeppelin Robert Plant. . Panali mipando 100 yokha, ndipo Alison ndi ena ankakonda bafa lokhala ndi akazi okhaokha.

Ngakhale kukwera mtengo kwa matikiti, ndege yapamwamba kwambiri imatanthawuza dziko kwa apaulendo abizinesi munthawi yakusakhutira kwa ogula ndi onyamula ambiri. Zosangalatsa komanso zotonthoza monga osewera makanema apaokha, chakudya chatsopano, vinyo wabwino, mipando yotakata ndi zipinda zambiri zapamyendo zitha kutsogolera apaulendo kukwera ma hatchi masauzande ambiri kuti agule tikiti (ndege yobwerera ku Silverjet pakati pa Newark ndi London mwezi wamawa iyamba pafupifupi $2,800) .

Koma kwa zaka zambiri, apaulendo awona ndege imodzi yamabizinesi onse ikupita m'mimba.

Mwezi watha, wonyamula katundu wa trans-Atlantic Eos adakhala wozunzidwa posachedwa, kusiya ndege pambuyo pa miyezi pafupifupi 18 yogwira ntchito ndikusunga kuti atetezedwe ku khothi. Mu Disembala, mnzake waku trans-Atlantic Maxjet adasiya kuwuluka - patatha miyezi 13 ndege yake yoyamba.

Silverjet idayimitsa malonda ake sabata yatha chifukwa ikufuna ndalama zogulira ndalama kuti iziyenda bwino. Palibe ndege zomwe zidaimitsidwa, ndipo ndegeyo ikuyembekeza kulengeza Lachinayi kuti yalandira kulowetsedwa kwakukulu kwandalama, atero mneneri Greg Maliczyszyn.

Mavuto azachuma sanawonetse kutha kwa ndege zamtundu uliwonse. Kuphatikiza pa Silverjet yaku England, L'Avion yaku France imawulukira ku USA. Primaris Airlines ikuyembekeza kuyamba ndege za "akatswiri" kuchokera ku New York kupita kumizinda itatu chaka chamawa.

Ndege zazikulu zayambanso kukopeka ndi ntchito zapamwamba kwambiri. Ndege zinayi zaku Europe - Lufthansa, Swiss, KLM ndi Air France - akupereka maulendo apaulendo opita ku USA. Ndegezo zimayendetsedwa ndi PrivatAir, yomwe ili ku Geneva.

Masabata awiri apitawa, Singapore Airlines idakhazikitsa ndege zoyambira zamabizinesi onse pakati pa North America ndi Asia. Mwezi wamawa, kampani yocheperako ya British Airways OpenSkies ikukonzekera kuyambitsa maulendo apandege ku New York-Paris ndi ndege ya Boeing 757 yokonzedwa ndi mipando yopitilira 60% ya anthu apaulendo apaulendo.

Akatswiri ambiri oyendetsa ndege amanena kuti zingagwire ntchito kwa ndege kuti zipereke chithandizo chamtengo wapatali pamayendedwe ena, koma lingaliro lopanga ndalama ndi mabizinesi onse kapena ntchito zonse zoyambira ndi zopusa. Amaloza kumanda amtengo wapatali komwe mandawa ndi zikumbutso za ndege zazing'ono zaku US monga Air One, Air Atlanta, McClain, Regent, MGM Grand ndi Legend.

“Palibe amene amaphunzira pa zolakwa zakale,” akutero Barbara Beyer, pulezidenti wa Avmark, mlangizi wandege ku Vienna, Va.

Wolemba mbiri ya zandege Ronald Davies akuti, ndege zamalonda zamtundu uliwonse, kaŵirikaŵiri zimayambitsidwa ndi amalonda olemera amene “amaganiza kuti pali “mamiliyoni a anthu ena olemera amene amafuna kuyenda pa ndege yapaderadi.”

Mabizinesi olemera amangolabadira kafukufuku wamsika womwe umagwirizana “ndi malingaliro awo” ndipo amanyalanyaza kafukufuku wosonyeza kuti kulibe anthu okwanira kuti azidzaza ndege zawo pafupipafupi, akutero Davies, woyang'anira zoyendera zandege ku Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.

Osunga ndalama ambiri m'mabizinesi amtundu uliwonse amapita bizinesi kapena kalasi yoyamba, ndipo "ngati lingaliro lakuti sakhala akuwuluka ndi riffraff," akutero Beyer. "Komabe, ndi kumbuyo kwa basi komwe kumalipira ndalama zambiri zogwirira ntchito."

Mpikisano ukukwera

A Paul Dempsey, pulofesa wa zamalamulo apamlengalenga ndi zakuthambo pa Yunivesite ya McGill ku Montreal, akuti ndege zamabizinesi onse zimavutika kupikisana ndi mabizinesi akuluakulu a ndege komanso zinthu zapamwamba. Makampani akuluakulu a ndege amapereka maulendo apaulendo opita kumizinda yambiri ndipo "amachititsa kuti makasitomala otsika kwambiri azikhala ndi pulogalamu yawo yowuluka kawirikawiri."

Nthano yochokera ku Dallas idakumana ndi mpikisano wowopsa kuchokera ku American Airlines (AMR) ndipo idataya $ 1 miliyoni pa sabata pomwe jeti zake zonyamula anthu 56 zokhala ndi mipando yachikopa, ntchito zapa TV zapa satellite komanso zakudya zapamwamba zidasiya kuwuluka mu Disembala 2000. Komanso idapwetekedwa ndi ndalama zoyambira, kuphatikiza ndalama zolimbana ndi milandu yaku America ndi mzinda wa Fort Worth, zomwe cholinga chake chinali kuletsa kuyambitsa kwake.

Davies anati: “Makampani apandege amene akukonzedwayo sakhala pansi n’kulola Regent kapena Eos, kapena ndege ina iliyonse yatsopano, kuti isangalale ndi kuchuluka kwa magalimoto awo: makasitomala olipira kwambiri,” akutero Davies. "Ayankha."

Darin Lee, mlangizi wandege wa LECG, waku Cambridge, Mass., akuti sakutsimikiza kuti pali "zolakwika zilizonse" zomwe zidapangitsa kutha kwa ndege zamabizinesi onse.

Eos, Maxjet, Silverjet ndi L'Avion awonetsa kuti pali magalimoto okwanira pa "nambala yosankhidwa" ya misewu yodutsa Atlantic kuti athandizire ndege zamabizinesi onse, Lee akutero.

Onyamula oterowo amakhala ndi mwayi wopambana ngati apanga mgwirizano wotsatsa ndi ndege yokhazikika komanso pulogalamu yake yowuluka pafupipafupi, akutero.

David Spurlock, woyambitsa ndi mkulu wa zamalonda wa Eos, akuti kukula kwa ndalama kunali "kodabwitsa," ndipo ndondomeko ya bizinesi inali yabwino. Eos ananyamula anthu 48,000 chaka chatha ndipo ankayendetsa ndege zitatu ku New York-London tsiku lililonse asanalengeze mwezi watha kuti "ilibe ndalama zokwanira kuti apitirize kugwira ntchito."

Kuthekera kwa ndege zopezera ndalama "kwatha" m'miyezi isanu kapena isanu ndi umodzi yapitayi, akutero Spurlock, chifukwa chakusokonekera kwa msika wa ngongole. Kukwera kwamitengo yamafuta a jeti kudapwetekanso kwambiri Eos ndikupangitsa osunga ndalama kukhala "osamala kwambiri."

Dempsey, yemwenso ali pa bolodi la Frontier Airlines, akuti "nkhani yokhayo yopambana" inali Midwest Express Airlines, yonyamula mabizinesi onse yomwe idakhazikitsidwa ndi chimphona chachikulu cha mapepala a Kimberly-Clark mu 1984. Midwest Express idawuluka jeti yokhala ndi mipando 60 ankapereka zakudya monga nkhanu ndi ng'ombe ya Wellington ku china ndi zopukutira zansalu.

Ndegeyo, yomwe idagulitsidwa ndi Kimberly-Clark ndipo tsopano imadziwika kuti Midwest, (MEH) idakhalabe yamalonda mpaka 2003. Zinazindikira, akutero Chief Marketing Officer Scott Dickson, kuti akuwuluka amalonda onse kupita kumalo ngati. Florida ndi Arizona "zinali zopanda ndalama" ndipo zinayamba kupereka malo ophunzitsira. Midwest tsopano ili ndi ndege zamabizinesi onse kupita kumizinda ina yayikulu, koma ndege zonse zizingokhala zophunzitsira kuyambira Seputembala.

"Pokwera mitengo yamafuta, tidayenera kusintha njira yathu," akutero Dickson. "Tiyenera kuyika mipando yambiri m'ndege kuti tipeze ndalama zambiri komanso kuchepetsa mtengo wamakasitomala."

Katswiri wa zandege Michael Boyd akuti "palibe msika" wa ndege zamabizinesi onse ku USA. Koma akukhulupirira kuti zonyamula zakunja monga Singapore ndi Lufthansa, zomwe zimagwiritsa ntchito ndege zingapo zamabizinesi pamaulendo osankhidwa, zipambana. Boyd, pulezidenti wa bungwe la The Boyd Group mumzinda wa Evergreen, ku Colo, anati: “Sikuti ndi ndege zamtundu uliwonse.” “Iwo akungosamutsa okwera kuchoka kutsogolo kwa ndege ya Boeing 747 n’kuwaika m’ndege yapamwamba kwambiri. .”

Kukhala chete kunali kwamtengo wapatali

Oyenda pandege pafupipafupi, monga Mickey David waku Houston, amalakalaka pakanakhala tsogolo labwino la ndege zamtundu uliwonse. Ndege zawo “sizimadzadza ndi ana akuthamanga ndi kulira,” akutero manijala wa kampani ya zida zachipatala yomwe inauluka pa Eos kupita ku London. Kumalo kuli phee, ndipo ndimatha kukonzekera misonkhano yanga.

Mike Bach, yemwe amayendera bizinesi pafupipafupi, mlangizi ku Livingston, Texas, akuti akufuna kuwona ndege zamabizinesi ambiri chifukwa zimapangitsa kuti zowuluka zikhale zapadera komanso zimapatsa chinsinsi. Akuti adawulukira pa Eos, Maxjet ndi Silverjet chaka chatha ndipo adasangalala ndi mipando yomwe imakhala yosalala, yothamanga mwachangu kudzera muchitetezo, chakudya chabwino komanso kusankha bwino kwamakanema. Amakonda, komabe, mapulogalamu amphamvu kwambiri owulutsa ndege zamakampani akuluakulu.

Silverjet idayambitsa pulogalamu yowuluka pafupipafupi mu Okutobala yomwe cholinga chake ndi kukopa makampani popereka ulendo umodzi waulere pa 10 iliyonse yomwe yagulidwa. Pafupifupi makampani 2,000 asayina, akutero Maliczyszyn. Mosiyana ndi mapulogalamu ena owuluka pafupipafupi, omwe amafuna kuti zopeza ndi mphotho zizikhalabe m'dzina la munthu payekha, pulogalamu ya Silverjet imalola makampani, kapena mabanja, kuphatikiza ndalama zawo zaulendo.

Ngakhale kuti m'mbuyomo panali zolephera zamabizinesi onse, Silverjet ikhoza kuchita bwino chifukwa imapereka "ntchito zosiyanitsidwa kwambiri zamabizinesi osakwana 50% yamitengo ya omwe akupikisana nawo," akutero CEO Lawrence Hunt. "Ndege zina zamabizinesi onse zidalephera chifukwa mitengo yawo inali yokwera kwambiri kapena ntchito yawo inali yocheperako."

Hunt akuti Silverjet "yatsala pang'ono kupindula" ndipo yangolandira $100 miliyoni kuchokera kwa wochita bizinesi yemwe sanatchulidwe ku United Arab Emirates. Silverjet italengeza za ndalamazo pa Epulo 30, wonyamula katunduyo adati ndalama zake zogwirira ntchito "zafika poipa ndipo zotsalira zake ndizochepa," kutsatira kukwera kwamitengo yamafuta komanso "kukhazikika kwangongole m'makampani oyendetsa ndege."

Pakadali pano, ku Primaris, Wachiwiri kwa Purezidenti James Mullen akuti ndegeyo, yomwe tsopano imagwira ntchito zokwerera ndege, "yayandikira kwambiri" kuti ipeze ndalama zomwe ikufunika kuti iyambe ntchito zamabizinesi onse.

Mkulu wa bungwe la Primaris Mark Morris poyamba anali mkulu wa Air One, yomwe inayamba maulendo amtundu uliwonse mu April 1983 ndipo inasiya kuwuluka mu October 1984. Mullen akunena kuti ndi "nthawi yosiyana mu kayendetsedwe ka ndege" kuposa pamene Air One inalephera.

Ndi mapulani owuluka kuchokera ku New York kupita ku Los Angeles, San Francisco ndi Lima, Peru, Primaris amadzitamandira patsamba lake kuti "sasiyana ndi wina aliyense" wonyamula katundu, wopereka chipinda ndi zinthu zamabizinesi pamitengo yotsika, yosavuta, yopanda nyenyezi.

Mwa zina, likuti lipereka malo opanda malire onyamula katundu, zakudya zomwe zitha kuyitanidwa nthawi iliyonse kuchokera pamenyu, ndi wailesi ya satellite.

Dongosololi silimasangalatsa mlangizi woyendetsa ndege Boyd. Sakhulupirira kuti dzina la mtundu watsopano lingakhale ndi mwayi uliwonse wochita bwino, makamaka pano, pamene mitengo yamafuta a jet ndi kutsika kwachuma zikuwononga makampani odziwika bwino a ndege.

Boyd anati: “Zinthu zamagulu onse sizigwira ntchito. "Kwa mtundu watsopano, wodziyimira pawokha, chinthu choyamba pa nthawi yoyambira ndikulemba ganyu CEO, ndipo chachiwiri ndikutumiza wosungayo kwa loya wa bankirapuse."

Nawa ndege zamabizinesi onse kapena zotsogola zaku US zomwe zatha. Ena mwina adaimitsa, kenako nkuyamba kuwuluka, kangapo mkati mwa masiku omwe atchulidwa:
