AAL - Not involved just aware of what is going on.....as I am regular customer. No Tobacco that I am aware of just all the usual general cargo to LOS and beyond - kitchen sink to textiles etc. You even have to sign a waiver against contraband if you want to send material to LOS with them and provide a form M number for currency exchange in Nigeria....So once again nothing untoward there then.
The Iraq flying is also nothing special now adays everyone is up and down to 12+ airports in Iraq, many on a scheduled basis, we use a whole bunch of people for our business.
I have basic information on what i understand to be their Main/Eng programme and indeed they are beyond that of their regulator and they are busy with their IOSA programme as we speak.
As far as DAS in concerned, have used them many many times and despite what people may say, they appear here in the M/E on a charter basis only, have other people paying their DOC - Direct Operating Costs as no one will give them credit and just found out the aircraft is also due for a C check pretty soon...so I wont be transferring our business to them, as i consider them a risk....Hope this helps
