Sorry but you've completely missed my point. I don't doubt that many want to fly there. In fact it was one of Emirates' most profitable routes before the Taliban victory. And that profitability just might have been a factor during the risk assessment. I have operated in and out of there many times. Just putting it out there as food for thought...
