Kuwanikwa kwazvino kweAVGAS, mafuta ekufambisa ndege anonyanya kushandiswa nendege imwe chete uye mapatya enjini anoshanda nemajini episton enjini, apera zvekare muUganda, uye mishumo yakafanana iri kuuya ichibva kuKenya, zvakare. Nhamba huru yendege dzakareruka, kunyanya idzo dzinoshandiswa mukubhururuka kwese uye nevaridzi vega, zvinoenderana nezvinhu zveAVGAS kuti zvibhururuke, uye nemitengo ichikwidza kumusoro semhedzisiro yemitengo yemafuta isina kukwirwa pasi rose uye kudzikira kweshilling yekuUganda. , kubhururuka kuri kukurumidza kuve humbozha vashoma vanogona kuwana uye avo vachiri kugona vangangoshaya mafuta ekuti vasimuke.
Vashandisi vemhepo vakasiyana-siyana mutori wenhau uyu akataura navo muKajjansi neEntebbe vakasimbisa kuti vari kuyedza zvekare kutora AVGAS kubva kuTanzania mumadhiramu, sezvo zvinhu sezviri pachena zvichiri kuwanikwa imomo, uku vachitaurawo nezverunyararo rwunovhara naShell, mukuru wenyika avhiyesheni peturu mupepeti pamusoro pekuti nei, kupi, uye riini mafuta anowanikwa zvakare.
Mr. Tim Cooper we Ndege Juu Africa, iri panhandare yendege yeKajjansi, akataura chirevo chinotevera kune mutori wenhau: “Ndege Juu Africa inoshora kuronga kunokatyamadza kwaShell nekuchengetedzwa kwemafuta mudura reUganda asi rakakosha. Zvakare, tinozviwana tiri mumamiriro ekuti mafuta eAVGAS apera, uye zvisingaite - kunyanya kukambani yechinzvimbo cheShell - havana ruzivo rwekuti mafuta anowanikwa riini zvakare.
Zvinotaridza kuti Shell inogutsikana nekutendera ndege dzeUganda dzakagadzirwa nemapiston kuti dzive pasi. Zvinoshamisa kuti, Shell haana kana kumboita hanya nekuyambira makambani ekufambisa ndege kuti AVGAS yave kuda kupera.
Ndege iri kushanda neKAFTC kuchengetedza mafuta kubva kuBP muTanzania uko zvinofadza kuti hakuna kushayikwa kweAvgas.
"Kana Shell isina basa rekupa mafuta kumakambani ekufamba nendege saka inofanira kutaura kudaro", akadaro director weNdege, Tim Cooper, ndokuwedzera kuti, "Kune mukana chaiwo wekambani yakakomba kupfuura Shell yekupa indasitiri yendege yeUganda ne chinhu chinotendeseka chemafuta nemafuta, ”akaenderera mberi.
Zvinonzwisisikawo kubva kunzvimbo dzekuKenya kuti ngarava inounza zvinhu zvitsva zveAVGAS ichiri mugungwa uye hapana aigona kutaura nechiyero chechokwadi kuti mafuta emuchadenga anowanikwa kupi muKenya, siya wega muUganda. Akadaro mumwe mutyairi wendege wekuKenya anozivikanwa nemunyori uyu nerurimi rwake ari padama anopindura achiti: “Chimbomira, makambani emafuta anozomupomera mhosva yekuba chibharo chinotevera, chinozova chinzvimbo chembudzi uku chokwadi chiri chekuda kusiya AVGAS nekuti imusika mudiki uchienzaniswa neJetA1, saka ivo vari kutowedzera kutimanikidza pamusoro pezvinhu, asi rangarirai, isu tine mazana enendege dzakareruka dzakanyoreswa muKenya, muEast Africa, zvinoenderana neAVGAS. Pamwe inguva yekuunza hurumende muvaudze kuti makambani emafuta aya ari kupi, kuda kuronga ndinofanira kufunga. Ndege dzakapakwa dzinotidyira mari, uye pasina AVGAS hatigone kubhururuka ndege idzodzo.

ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- A large number of light aircraft, in particular those used in general aviation and by private owners, depends on AVGAS supplies in order to fly, and with prices anyway skyrocketing as a result of globally-risen crude oil prices and the devaluation of the Uganda shilling, flying is fast becoming a luxury few can afford and those who still can might lack the fuel to take off.
- “Just wait, the fuel companies will blame it on piracy next, which will be a scapegoat while the truth is they want to abandon AVGAS because it is a small market compared with JetA1, so they are more and more squeezing us over supplies, but remember, we have hundreds of light aircraft registered in Kenya, in East Africa, which depend on AVGAS.
- The CAA source would not be drawn into a discussion regarding what measures the UCAA might employ to enforce compliance with terms and conditions of the contract, nor if at all they would react or what other measures they were considering to ensure AVGAS supplies were available in the country for the sizeable number of aircraft on the Ugandan registry still using this type….
