Comment
Looks like another Kam Air getting ready to fly out of Mazar I Sharif.@ 16:39 UTC : Flying to the Gulf, Doha presumably. Unlike the Qatar Airways flight it flies through Afghani air space. The reason others avoid Afghani air space is not because they fear the Taliban will throw something at them -- it's very unlikely they have anything that can reach stuff that high up -- but because in case of an emergency there's no airport nearby to safely divert to and land.
It landed at Al Udeid Air Base.
