Thanks to 'Newswatcher' and 'FireFly80'..
I would not be surprised if the Iranians are thinking os starting pax services. I'd like to know what their War Risk Insurance cover would be like ???
So far the Iranians have chartered their IL 76 freighters via a Russsian broker (Aviacon) operating under an Iranian AOC (Safaran arlines). They've done a good job and have actually shown much support to the Afghan crisis. Thus the reason why some relief organizations are starting to base their logistic offices in Iran (Mashad) notably.
I've been advised that Kabul International should have its runway cleared by Jan 16th. It seems prematured, looking at the pix on CNN. I wonder what the runway's PCN would be like after a quick DIY hand cementing the white numbers.
Does anyone of you have a contact in Kabul? Perhaps a relief agency staff that has sufficient knowledge to asses the runway there?
