How many civilians would actually want to fly to Afghanistan anyway? They don’t need a large wide bodied long haul fleet. All they need are planes with good high altitude runway performance that can fly to nearby hubs like DXB or AMM.
Well, I haven't booked any flights. Most interesting to me was the mention of private airlines doing a brisk business, whatever that means, as opposed to the foundering state airline.
And it all makes me wonder if we are doing anything to spur private initiatives or if we are concentrated on - dare I say it? - the more statist/socialist arenas.
