Exclamation Relief Flights into Kabul

>>> Field Intelligence Required <<<

For a few of us, involved with relief agencies to operate relief flights into Afghanistan transporting anything from Food, medicines and blankets.

Several flights have operated into airfields such as Bagram (30 miles North of Kabul) under control of British and US forces. So far a few C17 flights have operated and several IL-76 Freighters as no h-loaders/fuel are available and own ramp must be used.

Anyone can share information on Kabul? CNN showed footage of Kabul's only runway being patched up by local Afghanis. How safe will it be for Commercial airlines to operate into Kabul on Special Relief Missions? There's a lot of demand out there for relief operation. The question is WHEN will Kabul be safe for one off charter flights (cargo of coarse).

If anyone has any information, please kindly join in....

Merry X-Mas and don't spend your X-mas too much on the internet!
