KwiSiqithi se- Easter kukho isiza-moya esisodwa - yi-Mataveri, eguqulela ukusuka kwiilwimi zengingqi njenge "amehlo amahle." Itholakala kwi-7 km ukusuka kwisikhululo salo siqithi, kwisixeko saseAsia Roa . Kwakuyi-Mataveri eyafumanisa isiqithi sase-Easter kubavakhenkethi, enye yeyona nto iyimfihlelo kwihlabathi. Itholakala kuma-3514 km ukusuka eChile , ngoko kwakungekho lula ukufika kuwo, kwaye kwanokucinga malunga nohambo lwezokhenketho kwaye kwakungafanelekanga.
Ulwazi jikelele
Ukwakhiwa kwesiqithi-moya kwiSiqithi se-Easter kwaqala ngowama-1965, ngoko kwakukho isiteshi sokulandelela iNASA. Wayeka umsebenzi wakhe ngo-1975, xa isikhumulo sezindiza sele sesifumana iinqwelo-moya. Urhulumente waseChile ukhangelekile kwaye uyasebenza. Okokuqala, baqwalasela ukuba xa kwenzeka ukukhawuleza ukuhlaselwa kwesikhumulo sezindiza, kufuneka ukuba umhlaba ufikelele, kwaye okwesibini, ulawulo lukulindele ukwanda konyaka kwinani labakhenkethi abafuna ukutyelela isiqithi. Ukuze kuqinisekiswe le miba emibini, kwagqitywa ukuba kwenziwe umzila omude kunye omkhulu. Ngaloo ndlela, e-Mataveri inebude beemitha ezingama-3438. Isibilini ngokwawo sakhiwa sikhulu, kodwa kukho iindawo ezininzi zokutya kunye nezitolo zokukhumbula apho ungathenga zonke iintlobo zezipho zabahlobo, ukuba ngokukhawuleza ukhohliwe ukwenza oko, uhamba malunga nesiqithi.
I-Mataveri inikwe i-LanAm enye yeenqwelo-moya, ephinde isebenzise isiqithi se-Easter njengendlela yokuhamba ngeenqwelo zokuya kwiPapeete, eTahiti.

Uphi na?
I-Mataveri itholakala kumzantsi-ntshona kweso siqithi, ngaphandle komzi weAng Roa . Esi sigqeba ngokwaso sisekwindawo esenyakatho ye-moya, kwisikhululo se-Hotu Matua. Indawo ephawulekayo ingasebenza njengehotele iPuku Vai, efumaneka kwi-terminal ngaphaya kwendlela. Ungakwazi kwakhona ukuya eTuu Koihu uze uye ngaseningizimu, ngoko uya kuhamba phambili kwi-Hotu Matua, kunye neekhilomitha ezingama-30 ukuya ngasekunene kwesikhumulo sezindiza.
