There is nothing wrong with the plane.
When leaving Dubai for Kabul we boarded the airplane and then we were just sitting there, waiting, for quite a while. I don’t think anyone thought much of it, after all, it’s an unusual flight, from an unusual terminal (terminal 2 in Dubai that only does flights to Kabul, Baghdad and Tehran) so, I though, not a big deal. But then the pilot comes on and makes an announcement:
Hi Everyone. Just to put your mind at ease, there is nothing wrong with the plane. The plane is good, there are no technical problems.
Myself, personally, I thought it was quite funny. Apparently there were some VIP passengers who were very late and we were just waiting for them to board the aircraft.
