Flying Afghanistan’s Ariana Airlines

The Chicago Tribune’s E.A. Torriero, on assignment in Afghanistan, flew the local carrier recently and lived to tell the tale. As it turns out, Ariana isn’t doing so well these days. The company is down to just two planes. “Look, we used to have three Boeing 727s and five Russian Antonovs,” a ticket clerk explained. “But you [Americans] bombed us. One bomb fell on three planes at once. Now we have one 727 and one Antonov.”
