1. (SBU) After a week of Hajj flight operations, the GoA
has indicated that currently-leased aircraft are meeting
the demands of Afghanistan's Hajj and can be expected to
function properly through the first phase, i.e., getting
Hajjis to Jeddah over the next three weeks. While some
substantial issues remain (particularly the SAG's ability
to issue adequate numbers of visas in time to fill the
Afghan flights),these are being addressed separately.
Embassy appreciates the support from the Department, NATO,
and NATO capitals and confirms that all can stand down from
efforts to obtain standby airlift support for the Afghans
(pursuant to reftel instruction from the Department).
