Njengoba kunombhalo wenkomba ochaza ukuphazamiseka kokuhamba ngezindiza ngemuva kokuqhuma kwe-Eyjafjallajökull ngo-2010, isikhathi esingakanani ukuphazamiseka kokuhamba ngezindiza eYurophu?
Context:Ngenxa yokukhathazeka ngokuthi umlotha wentaba-mlilo owaqhunyiswa ngesikhathi kuqhuma i-Eyjafjallajökull e-Iceland ngo-2010 wawuzolimaza izinjini zezindiza, umkhakha wezindiza olawulwayo wamazwe amaningi aseYurophu wavalwa emithethweni yezindiza yezindiza, okwaholela kulokho ngaleso sikhathi okwakuwukuvalwa okukhulu kakhulu komgwaqo womoya kusukela ngeMpi Yezwe II. Lokhu kuvalwa kwabangela izigidi zabagibeli ukuba zihlale zingahambi nje kuphela eYurophu, kodwa emhlabeni wonke. Njengoba izingxenye ezinkulu zendawo yomoya yaseYurophu zavalwa ukuze kungasetshenziswa izindiza, amazwe amaningi athinteka njengoba izindiza eziya eYurophu, eziphuma eYurophu, nezindiza phezu kweYurophu zakhanselwa.  Ngemuva kokuvalwa kokuqala okungaphazanyiswa engxenyeni enkulu yeNyakatho Yurophu kusukela ngo-15 kuya ku-23 Ephreli, isikhala sezindiza savalwa ngezikhathi ezithile ezingxenyeni ezahlukahlukene zaseYurophu emasontweni alandelayo, njengoba umzila wefu lomlotha wawulandelwa. Ifu lomlotha laphinde labangela ukuphazamiseka kwezindiza eScotland nase-Ireland ngoMeyi 4 no-5 naseSpain, ePortugal, enyakatho ye-Italy, e-Austria naseningizimu yeJalimane ngoMeyi 9. I-airspace yase-Ireland ne-UK yavalwa futhi ngoMeyi 16 yabuye yavulwa ngoMeyi 17.  Lokhu kuqhuma kwenzeka ngaphansi kweqhwa. Amanzi abandayo avela eqhweni elincibilikayo apholisa i-lava ngokushesha, enza ukuba ihlukane ibe izinhlayiya ezincane kakhulu zengilazi (i-silica) nomlotha, okwathathwa yilokhu kuqhuma. Izinhlayiya zomlotha ezincane kakhulu nomphunga omningi ovela emanzini ancibilikile eqhwa kwakhipha umlotha oyingozi ezindizeni ngokushesha phezulu emkhathini. Ukuba khona kanye nendawo yenkungu kwakuxhomeke esimweni sokuqhuma nomoya. Inani elikhulu lamanzi ancibilikayo eqhwa agelezela emgodini wokuqhuma kwenza lokhu kuqhuma kwaba namandla kangangokuba kwaphonsa umlotha wawo ngqo emfudlaneni, owawuzinzile ngokungavamile futhi ubheke eningizimu-mpumalanga. Umlotha wabe usuthuthelwa phezu kweYurophu uye kwezinye zezikhala zezindiza ezimatasa kakhulu emhlabeni.  I-International Air Transport Association (IATA) ilinganisela ukuthi imboni yezindiza emhlabeni wonke izolahlekelwa ama-euro ayizigidi eziyi-148 (ama-US $ 200 million, ama-£ 130 million) ngosuku ngesikhathi sokuphazamiseka. I-IATA yathi ukulahleka okuphelele komkhakha wezindiza kwakungu-US $ 1.7 billion (£ 1.1 billion, € 1.3 billion). I-Airport Operators Association (AOA) yalinganisela ukuthi izikhumulo zezindiza zalahlekelwa ama-£80 ezigidi phakathi nezinsuku eziyisithupha nengxenye. Izindiza ezingaphezu kuka-95,000 zahoxiswa kulo lonke elaseYurophu phakathi nokuvinjelwa kwesikhala sezindiza kwezinsuku eziyisithupha, kanti izibalo zakamuva ziphakamisa izindiza eziyi-107,000 ezikhanseliwe phakathi nesikhathi sezinsuku eziyi-8, ezimele u-48% wenani eliphelele lezindiza kanye nabagibeli abangaba yizigidi eziyi-10.
Ekuqaleni kwakunokuvalwa okungaphazanyiswa kokuhamba ngendiza kusukela ngo-April 15 kuya ku-April 23. Kwaba khona ukuphazamiseka ngezikhathi ezithile ezingxenyeni ezihlukahlukene zeYurophu emasontweni alandelayo kwaze kwaba ngoMeyi 17. Sekukonke, ukuhamba ngendiza eYurophu kwaphazamiseka izinsuku ezingu-33 phakathi kuka-April 15 no-May 17, 2010.
