Nthawi zina, kapena maiko ena mwina, kutsatizana kwa manja kumatha kukhala mlandu womangidwa. Chiuno chakumanzere chimakwera m'mwamba ndikukankhira kutsogolo mpaka kukhudza gawo laling'ono, lalikulu. Kenako phewa lakumanja likuyamba kusewera, ndikutsegula chitseko. Kuthamanga kwina kwa tiyi kunamalizidwa bwino.
Umenewu ndi mwambo watsiku ndi tsiku kuno ku Independent House, pamene ndimabwerera kuchokera ku canteen nditadzaza tiyi wokwanira kuphwando ku Boston. Koma kodi ma gyration otere angagwirizane ndi katundu wanu? Werenganibe.
Lachitatu linali, kupatulapo limodzi, tsiku lachisawawa kwa anthu onyamula katundu. Chidutswa chimodzi mwa 60 chomwe chayikidwa pa eyapoti ku Europe chikalephera kuyenda ndi eni ake, kutengera ziwerengero zaposachedwa za Association of European Airlines (AEA). British Airways, yomwe ili m'munsi mwa ligi yonyamula katundu, idasokera kwambiri: pa ndege iliyonse ya BA jumbo yodzaza, zidutswa zisanu ndi zitatu za katundu zimasokera.
Choyambitsa chachikulu: Heathrow, pomwe ma terminals amasinthasintha - komanso kuti BA imawuluka kuchokera pa atatu mwa anayi mwa iwo - zikutanthauza kuti kuchuluka kwa katundu wosokonekera ndi kwakukulu. Ngakhale BMI, yokhala ndi terminal imodzi komanso netiweki yaying'ono, ndi yachisanu kuchokera komaliza mu ligi yotayika yamatumba.
Katundu wosowa ndi wokwera mtengo kwa apaulendo komanso ndege. Pamaulendo apaulendo apamtunda afupiafupi, nthawi zambiri zimatengera mtengo wonyamulira kuti afufuze mlanduwo ndikuupereka kuposa mtengo womwe wokwerayo adalipira. Kuchotsa ndalama zotere ndi cholinga cha kuyesa komwe kudayamba ku Heathrow Lachitatu.
Kwa miyezi isanu ndi umodzi ikubwerayi, Emirates ikuyesa njira yatsopano yolondolera thumba. Pulogalamu yoyendetsa ndege yomwe yachedwa kwambiri ikuwononga ndalama zokwana £ 150,000 za ndege zochokera ku Dubai, koma wonyamulirayo akuyembekeza kuti adzilipira yekha.
Pakadali pano, thumba lililonse limayikidwa chizindikiro cha bar code yomwe imayenera kuwongolera kudzera pa netiweki ya labyrinthine pansi pa malo olowera mpaka ikafika pa ndege yoyenera. Kapena ayi - matumba awiri mwa asanu osamutsidwa ku Terminal 3 ku Heathrow "osawerengedwa" ndi makina odziwikiratu. Nthawi zambiri, amatembenuzira pa lamba wonyamula katundu ndikubisa nambala ya bar kuchokera pama scanner.
Chikwama chomwe sichinawerengedwe molakwika chimathera pa chute pomwe oyendetsa amayenera kuchiyang'ana ndikuyesera kuti akwere ndege yoyenera. Izi zimakulitsa kwambiri chiopsezo choti mudzafika ku Jakarta mukapeza kuti chikwama chanu chili ku Johannesburg.
Njira yothetsera, ikuyembekeza kuti ndegeyo, imachokera pa chizindikiritso cha ma radio frequency (RFID). Uwu ndiye ukadaulo womwewo womwe umatsegula zitseko ku The Independent, kukupatsani kuti muyende bwino kuti mutenge chikwama chanu chakumanzere chomwe chili ndi ID yanu (yokhala ndi chip) pafupi mokwanira ndi sikani.
RFID ilinso pamtima pa Khadi lamtengo wapatali la Oyster lomwe limapangitsa kuyenda pamabasi aku London ndi masitima apamtunda a Tube kukhala otchipa komanso osavuta kuposa ndalama.
Ndikumvetsetsa kuti dongosolo la Heathrow ndi lokhululukira kwambiri kuposa maloko amagetsi ku Independent House, ndipo safuna kuyandikira komweko. Ndipo chifukwa mafunde a wailesi safuna kuonana ndi maso, Emirates ikuyembekeza kuti matumba ochepa adzasankhidwa molakwika ndipo ambiri aife tidzafika nthawi ndi malo omwe ndi katundu wathu.
Pakalipano, ndi njira yosavuta, yotsekedwa. Emirates ili ndi malo amodzi okha kuchokera ku Heathrow: Dubai. Poyambirira, okhawo omwe akuyembekezeka kupindula ndi anthu omwe adasungidwa paulendo umodzi wonyamuka tsiku lililonse wa Emirates ku Emirates kuchokera ku Heathrow kupita ku Dubai - mwina 10,000 pa sabata. Sadzawona kusiyana pakulowa, ndipo, pochita masewera olimbitsa thupi lamba-ndi-braces, tag yachikhalidwe ya bar-code idzagwiritsidwabe ntchito.
Zowonjezera zabwino, komabe, mukamakwera ndege: mukalembetsa nambala yanu ya foni yam'manja, mudzalandira meseji mukadzafika ndikukuuzani kuti chikwama chanu chamanga.
Mukuyembekeza.
Ngati RFID ikugwira ntchito, ndiye kuti ndege zitha kudziwa nthawi iliyonse yomwe thumba lililonse lili - ndikugawana zomwe akuyenda. Zidzathandizanso onyamula katundu akatumizidwa m'malo osungira ndege kuti akatenge chikwama cha munthu yemwe sali pawonetsero.
Izi zisanachitike, British Airways ikuyembekeza kuyamba kukwera ndikuchoka pansi pa ligi yaku Europe.
Terminal 5 ikayamba kugwira ntchito mwezi wamawa, kuchuluka kwa matumba omwe amatayika pakumasulira pakati pa ndege ziyenera kutsika: malo okwana £4.3bn amamangidwa mozungulira masewera akulu a chess omwe ndi njira yake yosinthira katundu.
Ngati mukufuna kusakhulupirira zaukadaulo kuti ziteteze katundu wanu poyenda pandege, yankho losavuta ndilo: osayang'ana chilichonse. Ma eyapoti ambiri ku UK tsopano amalola matumba opitilira chitetezo chimodzi, ngakhale fufuzani kuti ndege yanu ikuloleza awiri kapena kuposerapo. bolodi. (Ku Newquay, komwe kumakakamirabe lamulo lachigawo chimodzi, ndinakakamizika kuyang'ana m'chikwama; zinali - kugwiritsa ntchito mawu opaque oyendetsa ndege - "ofupikitsidwa", kutanthauza kuti sanatumizidwe nkomwe, koma anasiyidwa mkati. Cornwall.)
Chachiwiri, ngati mukuyenera kuyang'ana matumba, yesani, ngati n'kotheka, kupita ku ndege yachindunji. Air France ndi KLM alowa nawo British Airways m'dera lochepetsera katundu pazifukwa zosavuta zomwe ali ndi "maukonde-ndi-analankhula" otengera Paris Charles de Gaulle ndi Amsterdam Schiphol motsatana. Mutha kudumphadumpha pa eyapoti kuti mulumikizane molimba, koma musaganize kuti matumba omwe mwalowa nawo adzatsatiridwa mwachangu kupita ku ndege yomwe ikuyembekezera.
Kenako, lingalirani zolemba zonse - ndipo, zogwirira - zidzachotsedwa. Chizindikiro - kapena chingwe cha tepi ya gaffer - chokhazikika pamalo athyathyathya a chinthucho chimakhala ndi mwayi wopulumuka akamanyamula katundu ndi makina onyamula katundu. Ikani chizindikiro china mkati mwa sutikesi kuti mupewe kukhala m'modzi mwa anthu masauzande ambiri omwe sangathe kulumikizidwanso ndi chikwama chawo chifukwa palibe njira yomwe ndege ingadziwire kuti ndi yandani. (Pakadali pano, chiyembekezo chanu chabwino choti mudzachipezanso ndikupita ku nyumba yogulitsira malonda ya Greasby ku Tooting, komwe katundu wambiri wosokera amatha, ndikuyembekeza kuti afika pansi pa nyundo.) Ndipo musatenge chilichonse chomwe simunakonzekere kutaya.
Mukhoza, ndithudi, kusankha ndege yomwe imataya matumba ochepa kwambiri. Ryanair - yomwe siili ya AEA - imati ikuchita bwino. Pakati pa mamembala a Association, Air Malta ili pamwamba pa tebulo kuti asamalire matumba okwera. Koma chonyamulira cha ku Malta chilinso pamwamba pa ligi yolandiridwa pang'ono: ndege yochedwa kwambiri ku Europe. Mwina ogwira ntchito mundege akungotenga nthawi kuti atsimikizire kuti matumba onse asungidwa bwino m'ndege.
Choonadi chandege: sikuti okwera okha amapita 'boing'
Tekinoloje imathandizira kupanga kuwuluka kotetezeka kwambiri. Komabe, nthawi zina ndimakhala ndi nkhawa. Mwezi watha, ndinali pa eyapoti ya Lima ndikudikirira ndege yopita ku Iquitos. Pamene ndege ya Star Peru inafika, patatha ola limodzi, inali Boeing 737 yoyambirira yomwe idawonapo zambiri.
Pamene ndegeyo inkanyamuka, woyendetsayo anapeza cholakwika; adakwera taxi kubwerera ku terminal ndipo tidatsika kwa ola lina pomwe vuto lidakonzedwa.
Podzafika nthaŵi imene tinafika ku Iquitos, mkuntho wa mipingo ya Amazonia unali kukantha. Pamene mphezi inkawomba mlengalenga, mamita mazana angapo kuchokera pansi woyendetsa adaganiza zochotsa kuterako; ma injini okalamba anatiwombera kumwamba kachiwiri. Bwalo la ndege lapafupi kwambiri, Tarapoto, linali paulendo wa ola limodzi. Tinakhala pansi pamene Loweruka linasanduka Lamlungu.
Patapita nthawi, ogwira ntchito m’sitimayo anamva kuti mphepo yamkuntho yatha. Panthawiyo, ndinawona nambala yachinsinsi ya ndegeyo: OB-1841-P.
Kunyumba, ndidayang'ana mbiri yake. Ndegeyo idaperekedwa zaka 28 zapitazo ku Britannia Airways.
Pambuyo pa zaka zisanu ndi zinayi zoyendetsa anthu obwera ku tchuthi kupita ku Mediterranean, ndegeyo inapita kumadzulo. Aloha Ndege zidawuluka Boeing kuzungulira zilumba za Hawaii nthawi zambiri za 1990.
VASP ya ku Brazil inaulutsa ndegeyo mu 1991, m’pamene inayendera koyamba ku Amazon.
Ndege yolowererayo inabwerera ku Britannia mu 1992 kwa chilimwe china, kenako idagulitsidwa ku Ryanair. Pambuyo pa zaka 11, ndege ya ku Ireland inapuma pantchito (moyenera ku Bournemouth), mpaka idatengedwa miyezi 15 yapitayo ndi Star Peru.
Paulendo ndinali ndi nthawi yochuluka - ndikupangitsa - kuwerenga khadi lachitetezo. Kutengera mbiri yakudumpha kwa ndegeyo, ili ndi zolakwika zolondola pamwamba pomwe: "Boing 737".
