Isimo sokuhamba kwamanye amazwe sishintsha kakhulu ngenxa yokufika kobuchwepheshe bokuxhumana obuthuthukisiwe. Muva nje, umkhakha wezindiza zezentengiselwano ubone izithiyo zokuxhumana kwendabuko ziphulwa ngokufakwa kwamanethiwekhi esathelayithi e-low-Earth orbit, okuthuthukayo okuthembisa ukufanisa okuhlangenwe nakho kokuhamba emoyeni nalokho esikujabulelayo emakhaya noma emahhovisi ethu.
Lolu shintsho lwaqala ngokusemthethweni ngoJulayi 4, 2026 , usuku okwaqalwa ngalo umzila wokuqala ohlonyiswe ngalolu hlelo. Lolu hlelo luhlose ukuhlangabezana nesidingo esikhulayo phakathi kwabasebenzisi bamazwe ngamazwe, abayazisa kakhulu ikhono lokugcina ukuxhumana okuzinzile ngenkathi behamba eMelika—into ebalulekile kubahambi abavela eSpain nakwamanye amazwe aseYurophu abasebenzisa le mizila exhumanisayo.
Ukuqaliswa kwezindiza ngezigaba ngezigaba
Ukwamukelwa kwalolu hlelo kwakungeyona indlela eyingqayizivele, kodwa kwakuyingxenye yohlelo oluhlelekile oluhlanganisa ukwenziwa kwesimanje kwazo zonke izindiza zenkampani. Inqubo yaqala nge- Boeing 737 MAX 9 , ebhalisiwe i-HP-9901CMP, eyasebenza njengendawo yokuhlola ukuqinisekisa ukusebenza kahle kwama-antenna amasha kanye nokuzinza kwesiginali ezindaweni eziphakeme nezimo zezulu ezahlukene.
Ngokwezinhlelo ezisungulwe yilabo abaphethe iphrojekthi, ukufakwa kwale mishini yezobuchwepheshe kuzoqhubeka ngezigaba ezinyangeni ezizayo. Kulindeleke ukuthi zonke izindiza zizoba nalokhu kuthuthukiswa ngekota yokuqala ka-2027 , ngaleyo ndlela kuhlanganiswe ingqalasizinda yedijithali ezovumela ukuzulazula okungenazinkinga kuyo yonke indawo yomoya embozwe yimizila yazo evamile.
Izici zedijithali zesizukulwane esilandelayo zomgibeli
Inzuzo eyinhloko yalolu shintsho lobuchwepheshe ilele ekubambezelekeni okuphansi kanye nomkhawulokudonsa otholakalayo. Ngokungafani nokuxhumeka kwesathelayithi okuvamile, okwakuhamba kancane futhi kulinganiselwe, le ndinganiso entsha ivumela abasebenzisi ukuthi benze imisebenzi edinga idatha eningi, njengokusakaza okuqukethwe kwe-multimedia ngesikhathi sangempela, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi balandela imicimbi yezemidlalo noma bajabulele amapulatifomu ama-movie nochungechunge ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka.
Ngaphezu kokuzilibazisa, uhlelo lwenzelwe ukwenza kube lula indawo yobungcweti eyizinkulungwane zamamitha emoyeni. Abahambi bazokwazi ukuphatha izinhlelo zokusebenza efwini , bahlanganyele ezingqungqutheleni zevidiyo, noma basebenzise amathuluzi okuthumela imiyalezo esheshayo kalula njengasemhlabathini. Ngisho nabathandi bemidlalo yevidiyo bazokwazi ukufinyelela amapulatifomu aku-inthanethi, into okwakubhekwa njengokungenakwenzeka kuze kube muva nje endizeni yezentengiselwano.
Isakhiwo sokufinyelela kanye nezinzuzo zabasebenzisi
Ngokuphathelene nokutholakala kwensizakalo, kuklanywe imodeli evuza ukwethembeka kwamakhasimende avamile. Labo abahamba ngeBusiness Class noma abangamalungu ezinhlelo zokwethembeka eziphezulu, njenge-PreferMember Gold, Platinum, kanye namalungu kaMongameli, bazokwazi ukuhamba ngomkhumbi ngaphandle kokukhokha noma yiziphi izindleko ezengeziwe phakathi nohambo lwabo.
Isici esisha salokhu kuqaliswa ukuhambisana kwayo nezinsizakalo zenethiwekhi yesathelayithi yasekhaya. Abagibeli abanokubhalisa okusebenzayo kwe-Residential noma i-Roam bangaqinisekisa ama-akhawunti abo ebhodini ukuze bajabulele i-Wi-Fi mahhala. Kubo bonke abanye abagibeli, kuzotholakala i-portal yokufinyelela lapho bangathenga khona amaphakheji okuxhumana ngamanani ancintisanayo aklanyelwe ukukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kabanzi kwenethiwekhi.
Le ntuthuko yezobuchwepheshe imele isinyathelo esibalulekile sokuthuthukisa izindiza ezinde, isungula indinganiso engase isebenze njengesilinganiso sezinye izindiza ezisebenza phakathi kweYurophu neMelika. Ukutholakala kwenethiwekhi ethembekile nesheshayo akugcini nje ngokuthuthukisa ukwaneliseka kwamakhasimende kodwa futhi kuhlaziya kabusha lokho esikulindele ekuhambeni kwamazwe ngamazwe kwanamuhla , ekugcineni kuqede ukuhlukaniswa kwedijithali okwakuhambisana nezindiza ezinde.
