Cargo airlines will be key to redeveloping Afghanistan after the US military pulls out of the country, an operator says.   Peter Donlevy, ceo of East Horizon Airlines said that the key to organic growth in Afghanistan was to build commerce, "and cargo flights are a major way of doing this. “As the stability of Afghanistan continues to improve, more and more commercial opportunities will open up within the country.   "Having access to reliable, efficient cargo carriers is crucial to rebuilding this trade, and our new fleet of versatile aircraft provides that,” he said. East Horizon will have a fleet of five aircraft in operation by the end of the year, with further expansion planned.     Aircargo Asia Pacific
