How is a US carrier operating off of the coast of Pakistan a violation of Islamabad airspace? Or, is the assertion that the flight did not have standard dip clearance to go from Afghanistan to feet wet?
Not sure our intrepid reporter has it right ... this is confusing.
LW,
Keep in mind that Afghanistan is a land-locked country. The only alternatives to flying the body out would be through Pakistani airspace or to ask for the kind permission of the Iranian government.
