Afghanistan’s Ariana Afghan Airlines could be days from collapse due to corruption, mismanagement and a crippling aircraft leasing arrangement that has drowned the struggling carrier in debt.

Oh god - the whole south asian govt owned airlines scene seems to be a mess. From Ariana to PIA to AI (slight better now with new fleet arriving) to BG - all uniformly suffering.

When will govts learn that they are not the right people to run airlines! (or is it fly airlines Wink)?
