Afghanistan’s Airline: One Place, 1,600 Employees
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 04.30.02 | 7:08 PM ET
U.S. airlines complain about tough times, but they’ve got nothing on poor Ariana Afghan Airlines. Six of Ariana’s planes were destroyed during recent U.S. bombings. How many are left? “Don’t ask me that question,” the man charged with rebuilding the airline, Jahed Azimi, told CNN. “One aircraft and 1,600 employees. Can you believe it?” It’s hard to believe. But don’t write off Ariana yet. CNN reports that Afghanistan’s commercial airline is resilient: “After all, this is the airline that began domestic flights in December despite an unexploded bomb in the middle of the runway.”
