Hozirgi kunda 49% Qatar Airways boshqaruvidagi Meridiana tashuvchisi, AQSh va Qatar o'rtasidagi "beshinchi erkinlik" parvozlari to'g'risidagi shartnomani buzganligi uchun aviakompaniyani tekshirishni so'ragan 11 AQSh respublikachi senatorlari ob'ektivida. O'tgan yilning 3 -dekabrida senatorlar Ted Kruz boshchiligidagi va Mayk Pompeoga (AQSh Davlat departamenti) yuborgan maktubida, Eleyn Chao (Transport departamenti) va Uilbur Ross (Savdo departamenti) Oq uydan faktni tekshirishni so'raydi. bu Air Italy Qatar tomonidan 2018 yil boshida imzolangan shartnomani chetlab o'tish uchun foydalaniladi, bu esa Qatar Airways Evropada porti bo'lganlardan voz kechib, AQSh bilan faqat to'g'ridan -to'g'ri aloqa o'rnatishini taxmin qiladi.

Beshinchi erkinlik reyslari, masalan, Emirates tomonidan Dubay-Milan-Nyu-York yoki Dubay-Afina-Nyu-York yo'nalishlarida amalga oshiriladi. Senatorlarning ayblovi shundaki, Qatar bu kelishuvni chetlab o'tish uchun Italiyaning Air Italy yo'nalishlarini moliyalashtiradi.

Masalan, Milan-Nyu-York reysi "tijorat nuqtai nazaridan shubhali" deb hisoblanadi, chunki beshta tashuvchi, ulardan uchtasi AQSh kompaniyalari, bir yo'nalishda harakat qiladi (United Airlines, Delta, American Airlines, Alitalia, Emirates) Senatorlar, shuning uchun, Qatar o'zining Air Italy sho''ba korxonasi tufayli va bozorga haqiqiy ehtiyoj sezmagan holda, odamlar gavjum bo'lgan yo'nalishlarga joylar va reyslar qo'shmoqda, deb hisoblaydilar.

Oq uyga yozilgan maktubda, shuningdek, ichki reyslar, charter va uzoq muddatli mavsumni taklif qilgan kompaniya AQShga parvozlarga ixtisoslashgan haqiqiy kompaniyaga aylangani ko'rsatilgan.

"Bu iqtisodiy harakatlarning barchasi Qatar Airways uchun barqaror bo'lmaydi, shuning uchun moliyalashtirish to'g'ridan -to'g'ri Qatar davlati bo'lishi mumkin", deyiladi maktubda. Oxirgi nuqta, Qatar bilan Evropa va Yaqin Sharqqa boradigan yo'llarda raqobatni buzish uchun davlat yordamining shakllarini bekor qilish to'g'risidagi bitimni imzolagan Trump ma'muriyati tomonidan qattiq nazorat ostida bo'ladi.

Bundan ham shubhali AQSh siyosatchilari - va ularni qo'llab -quvvatlaydigan uchta AQSh aviakompaniyasi (Delta, American va Yunayted) - o'tgan mavsumda Milandan Los -Anjeles va San -Frantsiskoga ulanishning navbatdagi mavsumi. Doha sammitlari o'tgan yilning bahorida American Airlines va boshqa ikkita aviakompaniya tomonidan qo'yilgan ayblovni rad etgan edi.

«Qatar Airways Air Italy -dan Dohadan AQShga yo'lovchilarni olib o'tishning muqobil usuli sifatida foydalanmaydi, - dedi bosh direktor Akbar Al Beyker Corriere della Sera -ga bergan intervyusida - Bizda Air Italy bilan Evropada ham parvozlar mavjud emas. Biz hatto bu haqda o'yladik. "Air Italy - Italiyada ro'yxatdan o'tgan va Aqa xolding nazorati ostidagi Italiya kompaniyasi, uning aktsiyalari 51% Alisarda va 49% Qatar Airwaysga tegishli.

USHBU MAQOLADAN NIMA OLISH KERAK:

In a letter sent by the senators headed by Ted Cruz last December 3 and addressed to Mike Pompeo (US State Department), Elaine Chao (Department of Transportation) and Wilbur Ross (Commerce Department) explicitly asks the White House for an investigation into the fact that Air Italy is used by Qatar to circumvent the agreement, signed at the beginning of 2018, which predicts that Qatar Airways will operate only direct connections to the US, renouncing those with some port in Europe.
The latter point, therefore, would be under close scrutiny by the Trump administration, which had signed the agreement with Qatar precisely to defuse forms of state aid to distort competition on routes to Europe and the Middle East.
The former Meridiana carrier, now 49% controlled by Qatar Airways, is in fact under the lens of 11 US Republican Senators asking to investigate the airline for violation of agreements between the United States and Qatar on “fifth freedom”.
