The aircraft was en-route to DXB but does anyone know where it had arrived
from. The crew compliment suggests a heavy crew.
This may be a factor, from flightradar 24 the aircraft left CHR/LFLX at 15:50Z on Sunday 28th, I understand from other sites that it routed to an airbase in Afgan before flying to Bagram. The crash occurred at 11:00Z on Monday 29th. assuming there was no slip crew available in either of the Afgan locations and the crew joined in CHR/LFLX then at the time of the crash they had been on duty for some 19+ hours. I might be wrong on my assumptions and maybe a fresh crew did join in Bagram.
