Ariana Afghanistan is starting its operations again from tommorow. First flight is Kabul-Delhi with there B727. Best of luck to them…they are going to need it!! I have also heard Russia is planning to donate 2 TU 154s to Ariana Afghanistan.

I guess it’s only a matter of time before somebody starts services into Kabul again. I believe the UN are putting an awful lot of money into the country to re-build it. Not sure what state the airport is in so I guess they could start there!
An Ariana DC-10 (I think they only had one!) and 727’s were a familiar sight many years ago at the airports I operated to.
I wish them all the best anyway.
Anybody know if Biman still operate to the UK? I’ve always been facinated with the smaller African and Asian carriers.
