An interesting question . France is doing the same the Government chartered Air France A350s ( one yesterday and 2 today ) to evacuate its citizens instead of using its Military A330s. ( which they did when evacuating civilians from Mali and Niger a few months ago ),
And I read Germany is also planning to charter Lufthansa to do the evacuation of its citizens instead of its own military aircraft .
